It's over
I'm an ESLWhat does "Disorientation" mean?
>>198523888Based
>>198523888and whose fault does he think it is
>>198523907Chaos and confusion.
>>198523888Movies have been over for a while now.
>>198523888I'm not sure why Jerry is positioning himself as a film expert.
>>198523907Don't bother, he doesn't know either.Seinfeld made content for the lowest common denominator and is just malding because memes and the Donald make better content for that demographic right now.
>>198523907He means video games. That's the premier entertainment today.
It is kinda crazy how younger generations are getting their information from online sources like YouTube, which can be so niche and fractured. Each kid now has the ability to be drawn to what they're interested into and what they can find online. Boomers had only like 2 channels so they all grew up with the same cultural ideas and hallmarks. It's a huge shift.
>>198523888>the jew mind poison is overholy based
>>198523943Presumably because he actually worked in the media production industry with major projects?
>>198523888He's right. Post-modernity destroyed every common basis and replaced it with individualistic cash flow assets.
>>198523966Boomers had like 3 channels of news to watch, max, all owned by the same Jews, and we wonder why the country turned out the way it did
>>198523907Mobile games, microtransactions, etc etc. Game devs figured out that they can extract huge amounts of money from people using slot machine-like bamboozling in smartphone video games. It bled over into actual video games in the last 10 years with GTA online and what not.Just look at any revenue comparison.
>>198523997wouldn't it make more sense for him to talk about TV, though? his statement about disorientation applies equally to them, where nothing is popular because everything is popular and there is too much competition from every other form of media. but, oh wait, then he'd be criticizing streaming services which would be more risky for him personally.
>>198523966Culture is arguably more homogenized now than ever. Movies just havent caught up yet. Ideas of what a movie is supposed to be are too ingrained for change to come from the top down.
>>198524064TV has held up better than movies. Why do you think he isn't talking about TV when he says disorientation?
>>198523907In the context of his response it just means anything that isn't movies. He's just bitter and wanted to try to sound intelligent
he's got a point. cinema is dead
>>198523888>pinnacle in cultural hierarchy It never did, music always made a bigger impact. Entire generations and their cultures are defined by music
>>198524142I kind of get it though, a lot of us are just aimlessly on TikTok/reels and whatever other random media now rather than being collectively tuned into big productions. It does feel disorienting. Can't find anything else to get excited about it's grim as hell.
>>198523888He's entirely right. 20 years ago, films dominated all cultural references. An Italian pizza joint would make Godfather quips constantly,>I'll you a pizza you can't refuseAnd everyone would chuckle at it. Every pilot in training would quote Tom Cruise trying to get laid. Every school had that one kid who was obsessed with Gollum and would impersonate him constantly.Even 10 years ago, Harley Quinn was the halloween costume that literally every thot wore off of one film.Now?Half the people making Dunc tiktoks haven't even seen the film and only do it because it's a fad on tiktok
>>198524086>Culture is arguably more homogenized nowWtf? Are you serious?
>>198524087he clearly doesn't only mean TV, he means the massive amount of different shit competing for our attention. its just that streaming services embody that problem in microcosm.
