For anyone else who's curious, a link from 2018, though the sale dates back to 2004. The current ownership explains a lot.

Rotten Tomatoes founder has a few regrets on selling

Are they familiar with the Streisand Effect?

Your correct it hasn’t been released yet. The comments are being driven by SJW comments made by the starring actress within the past few weeks. Had she kept her yap shut most of the blowback wouldn’t have occurred.

In addition RT specifically polled to see who was interested in seeing it. So there are comments in that regard as well.

They’re voicing an opinion of something they haven’t seen. The movie’s not been released.

Oh, never mind. I didn’t know it was a “poll” until I read the thread.

Hollywood, when it’s not force-feeding viewers leftist propaganda, can’t seem to get much more creative inspiration than the nearest comic book. Then they churn out some movie with bright colors and loud sounds, like the stuff you dangle over a baby’s crib. Then they remake their pablum. Then remake the re-make. Then they hold awards ceremonies where they spout MORE leftist propaganda, pat themselves on their backs for their creative brilliance, and lecture all of us - before heading off to one of their multi-million dollar estates, or go off hunting for some starlet to ... ahem, introduce to the business.

OK that's just a really really good dis. No deductions. 10.0

>>“As a white male i dont think Brie would want me watching this movie,” user Nigel B wrote, according to Yahoo. “Larson has made it clear…men need not attend this movie,” user Joseph U said. Yahoo noted that such trolling on review sites has happened before with films like the all-female “Ghostbusters” reboot.

How queer they don’t have the quote where she says this movie isn’t made for white males, they should skip it, it’s for minorities and women.

Thanks for clarifying

They will give a review that is all positive from now on as long as they are paid off by the studio.

>>Black Panther proved they can make a ton of money and still be ignored. Nobody who has ever seen a movie in their life thought it actually deserved a Best Picture nomination.

A Batman movie is “rated” on IMDB as the third best movie OF ALL TIME.

Ratings are crap. Populist opinion can be faked.

Got a t. Thanks

>>Really hard to comment on a movie before its release

There are sneak preview screenings. Especially for fanboy films. packed houses.

[Nifster]

Got it

Rotten Tomatoes has lost all credibility as an honest, unbiased review website.

Rotten Tomatoes is just a shill company owned by Comcast and Warner Brothers. Rotten Tomatoes is ROTTEN TO THE CORE!

Their "reviews" and "ratings" are UTTERLY WORTHLESS.

I used to faithfully check out RT, but no more. They don't care a wit about the movie going public's interests or views. All RT cares about is selling movie tickets and taking our money while they tell us to "shut up and sit down".

It’s the last part of the hats key

>>Commenting about a movie you haven’t seen yet is called lying, something we’re supposed to be against.

The Oscars don’t require voters to actually SEE the movies they are voting for/against.

Kind of like a chili cookoff where you looked at photos of the teams and didn’t actually eat any chili.

"Larson has made it clear…men need not attend this movie,”

Well, she has a point.

>>They will give a review that is all positive from now on as long as they are paid off by the studio.

Sony was busted once upon a time putting their own reviews/reviewers in the “pull quotes” put on their newspaper ads.
