i'm just gonna be a codger here and say almost every american movie and television show of the last decade looks the same and sounds the same and feels the same. such inexpressive and disposable media. netflix hbo and disney ought to be nuked from fucking orbit

even when i'm watching shows i nominally enjoy, my praise is like picking flecks of gold out of a bowl of porridge. our idea of "prestige" media is so brainsplittingly bland it's no wonder adults flock to children's media just to remember what colors look like

folks mourning the impending death of the cinema as if it's been anything more than an overlong roller coaster ride since 2007.

sorry to be a cynic on main i'm just sick of watching the slow strangulation of the art form i've devoted my life to and being told that it's better than ever

nothing new about this except the scale and pensiveness of it, but on top of everything else it just feels so on the nose

i wrote "pervasiveness," then deleted it because i thought, no, there's gotta be a more accurate word. couldn't come up with one so i just retyped "pervasiveness," except twitter and my phone had other plans for that tweet
