I watched Top Gun Maverick over the weekend. It was a solidly-executed basic popcorn flick with no surprises of any kind, and 20 years ago I'd have called it pleasantly mediocre - but in today's cinema culture, the mere fact that they delivered a solidly-executed basic popcorn flick and didn't shoehorn in a painful amount of tone-deaf woke propaganda made it sadly exceptional.
Even 10 years ago it would have been just a normal film.
It's amazing how rapidly our civilization has declined.
