Timeless Appeal posted:Like what is frustrating you? Your rebuttal was that the site filters out interesting movie when it's pretty easy to find access to reviews about Waves and The Lighthouse. And then your response was that you're mad that the fifth film in the Aliens series was called worth seeing and a boring but competent enough movie that you didn't like was also deemed worth seeing? With a system like the Tomatometer "pretty good" is weighted on the same scale as "amazing", so you're rewarded for trying to appeal to the broadest possible audience in the safest manner, since it's better to have 9 out of 10 critics rate your movie as "pretty good" than only 2 or 3 rate it as "amazing" while risking more people rating it badly. With Rotten Tomatoes arguably becoming the industry standard for judging film -- the tomato-rating shows up on a google search of any given film, and big films advertise the "fresh" rating and do dramatic reveals of the score -- this is going to incentivize more and more films to try to really nail "good enough" and not ever try for "great".

Mega64 just wrapped up their Flamewar Theater series, where they regale classic forums posts in a Shakespearen style, with an episode titled "Blade 2" and I'm too afraid to watch it because I just know.

Carrie's brother on her TRoS presence: https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2019/11/carrie-fisher-original-role-rise-of-skywalker.html 8 minutes could be an estimate. I'm guessing that's 8 minutes of unused scene footage from the previous movies. I know they're also using alternate takes/reworked previously used footage. The specific Rey hug is an alternate take and they're also reworking (clothes+background) of her goodbye to Rey from TFA. For comparison about total time, she had about four minutes total in TFA.

And the more views RottenTomatoes receives, the more its “critical standard” is going to relax - which is loving disastrous for society in a way not measurable by market forces for a population ever increasingly accustomed to RT religiously determining what is “good” and what is “bad” for them. It’s almost like capitalism is destroying art and literacy for profit, boys!

One of Lucas’ rules for the EU was no time travel AFAIK. Wookipedia shows that there’s been like one instance and it was some portal force fuckery. I don’t think they’ll do temporal stuff but who knows at this stage.

Timeless Appeal posted:Yeah the number doesn't work if you're looking for a ranking of the films' quality and I don't know who the gently caress doesn't like Blade Runner, but that doesn't really matter. Nobody should be using RT to make stupid points about why their favorite Marvel movie is better than Gangs of New York or whatever. Rotten Tomatoes presents their data in such way as to obfuscate what is lost in their quantification process. You can’t just say that people should already know that their numbers don’t work for assessing quality when RT actively uses their 0-100 scale scores to create ranking lists.

Wild Horses posted:Who needs Ebert when you have Armond White? His Star Wars takes are good anyway. "With Star Wars, product has not only taken the place of art; it has replaced myth." "The Star Wars movies belong in the same category as Elvis Presley movies: They’re popular yet are all but unwatchable — except that the Presley pictures evince a human touch." "Luke’s confrontation with Kylo on the red-salt tarmac only hints at the shock of bloodshed, and the centerpiece skirmish between Supreme Leader, Kylo, and Rey — the film’s visual highpoint — features only rote gymnastics. You cannot have seen any Chinese martial arts or Zack Snyder movies if you are impressed by this. Johnson’s backdrop is a stunning red cyc wall that goes up in flames, revealing nothing. Psyche."

I came home around noon from work and thought “Hey, why not see a movie? It’s hot out and a well air conditioned theater would be nice.” So I got really stoned and went to the theater. I was one of maybe 3 people there. I can honestly say that I enjoyed the movie. I can also honestly say that I was pretty high too. If we can’t get stoned and watch a dumb sci-fi movie, what else is there in the world?
