All good man. It happens with text based online convos. :)

That's not how you use the term. Provincial as an adjective isn't solely tied to geographic distribution in counties that formally use provinces as a regional government form.

I explained what I meant in other reply.

I honestly thought you know what I meant and were trying to discuss something else entirely. Sorry about that.

That was a genuine question, I thought you knew what I was saying and questioning the very existence of the concept.

Americans with a provincial outlook; a belief that local mores are the only legitimate way to look at things, lack of interest in different/new ideas.

You don't know the meaning of the word provincial or do you mean you've never encountered it in this context?

Might have to do it. Their episodes are pretty short, so no big loss if it's shit.

This does sounds like it has potential.

I just wish (hope?) that it doesn't have that American streaming company superficial, corporate "edginess". For me, it makes many series feel the same even if the setting/theme/story is radically different.

Is it worth checking out the South Park episodes?

They had some really funny episodes in the 2000s. Don't think I've seen anything more recent except for one or two episodes.

Outside of that, a lot of their political commentary felt like word salad from regressive provincial Americans.

Strange and confusing article.

Watched this the other night, it's a fun, not too serious, creature horror. It has that "silly but wholesome" mid 90s to early 2000s vibe.

Very cliched setting and characters, but it works.

Also pre-fame Scarlet Johansson.

Definitely check it out! It's really good.

I haven't seen the 2024 version.

I recommended the 1980 adaption to my relatives and they started with the 2024 version by mistake, they said that the first thing that came to mind was "[he] couldn't have recommended this to us, we are probably watching the wrong thing!" And then they found the 1980 version.

So I am guessing I wouldn't have liked it. :)

If not death, or being institutionalised.

But you can also get institutionalised or killed under capitalism too if you say the wrong things (China, Russia, the Gulf States).

While you might not be killed in the US, but you can be harassed via lawsuits or deported to a foreign internment camp if you say the wrong things.
