@coriander people still make other kinds of movies but they won't see the return, so they don't get the budgets, so they wind up not being as good, so they're less willing to make more

@coriander it's something you mostly only hear about in reference to romcoms (which have been dead for several decades at this point) but they were just the beginning

action movies are big rn because you don't need to understand the subtle ironies of american culture to enjoy guns and explosions

@wallhackio yeah that's part of the depressing thing—even when good things are released (which they undoubtedly are) it doesn't feel like they're in conversation with a broader culture so what is there to say beyond “yep. good film”

there are tons of talented artists but there is no scene

@coriander comedy in general is a really tough sell right now because it doesn't internationalize well and nobody is willing to make anything which isn't going to stream in at least 20 countries

@coriander i think Big Bang was the last culturally impactful sitcom which is extremely sad

what a way for an artform to go

@coriander you mean you’re not watching Young Sheldon?!

there’s a lot you CAN say about games but like. why would you. it has ceased to be relevant

the music WAS better when i was a kid! the shows were more creative! the movies were better written, shot and directed! this is extremely distressing to me!

when i was a kid i cared passionately about staying up on what was cool and new in media but i did not anticipate that in a decade media would collectively have gone to shit

@alyssa pretty sure i do [seŋ] myself; æ would make “sang” more open than “seng” and i definitely don’t do that

wiktionary gives both [sæŋ] and [seɪŋ] tho, so evidently some people do pronounce it [æ]

@alyssa reading communist texts makes your rapping like 5 times better regardless of subjectmatter, it’s true

blue scholars already wrote the best rap song about fucking over a decade ago, other rappers need to stop trying with this one

it’s the best you can do as far as supporting “easy”, “low effort” pagination but the drawbacks are still pretty significant and doing the harder more cumbersome thing just seems a lot more preferable to me right now

@aschmitz this is actually just because i need to pass something which might contain quotes to xargs
