Small-Scale Question Sunday for January 1, 2023

Happy New Year!

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I had some thoughts about how both the major films being produced, themselves, seem to play into this and as indicated the average mainstream critic seems to think their job is to validate whatever product is currently supposed to become the latest hit and look for any reason people should enjoy it rather than making an honest assessment of quality.

Critics finding as many reasons as they can to 'like' a work and downplaying obvious flaws seems like a far cry from the days of Siskel and Ebert.
