Oh wow, didn't know it was coming soon.

I just bought a copy of the second book, need to figure out whether I want to power through it before season 3 starts.

This is a good resource if you curate/mod smaller communities (or even mid-sized ones).

Don't know what country you are in, but it might be worth considering try to get the torrent without a VPN.

Chances are if it's extremely rare/obscure stuff, it's not going to be tracked by a copyright enforcement agency.

I mean there is clearly a demand for it.

I am not a big Star Wars fan and haven't seen any of the recent stuff. I would watch Star Wars: A New Hope in the cinema.

I've watched South Park before, mostly stuff from the 90s and 2000s. Some episodes are really funny and well made. It's rare that I remember an episode name for series, but "Scott Tenorman Must Die" is an all time classic.

I eventually tuned out (other than occasional episodes) and as it got a bit samey and IMO they always had a lot of filler/badly made episodes (even in the 90s/2000s). Trying too hard to be edgy.

I was just curious about their most recent output. I am going to check it out. Another user mentioned that if they felt their recent output was closer to earlier stuff from the 90s and 2000s.

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?

[–] jbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

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

[–] jbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

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.
