Just revisited some classic critic debates and now modern reviews feel empty

We're losing the substantive dialogue that used to define film criticism. I watched an old Ebert review that spent five minutes on lighting choices, while today it's all about box office predictions. It's a shift that cheapens the art form.

Idk, seems like a bit of an overreaction.

You really think so, @mark_ward? This is exactly how systemic problems get normalized.

Dismissing concerns as overreactions is precisely how systemic issues become normalized.

Called out a friend who kept brushing off complaints about our group project dynamics. Actually sat down and listed all the minor issues that kept piling up, which made them see the bigger pattern. We ended up revising our communication rules, and it helped a lot lol. Now we check in weekly to avoid things getting overlooked.
