@coriander it’s possible they were different years, like it could have been hatchet was a 4th grade book and my side of the mountain was definitely 5th
@coriander i think we read both in the same year honestly

@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

@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
@aescling @wallhackio that's literally what the song is about tho
