    The woke ‘Little Mermaid’ reboot completely bombed in reviews this weekend. Disney’s live-action take on The Little Mermaid reportedly brought in $95.5 million globally in its three-day opening, according to Deadline. However, the woke movie completely bombed in reviews – the bulk of the negative reviews were from overseas movie goers. Critics blamed murky lighting and woke lyrics. IMBD, Rotten Tomatoes and other online review-aggregation websites claimed online trolls are driving the bad reviews. The bad reviews were actually tossed out in order to raise the final audience scores! For example, IMBD said it published the “weighted vote averages” because...

    Citing "unusual voting activity," the film reference site says it's applying "alternate weighting calculation" to friendly portrait of polarizing COVID czar "to preserve the reliability of our rating system." ocumentary film tracking Dr. Anthony Fauci's medical career from the AIDS crisis to COVID-19, is creating controversy away from the big screen. "Fauci," from NatGeo and Magnolia Pictures, hit select theaters Sept. 10 before getting a Disney+ release earlier this month. The documentary lets disparate figures like President George W. Bush, U2's Bono and Bill Gates praise the Infectious disease specialist. The studios failed to make the documentary's box office figures...

    UPDATED with full statement from IMDb. IMDb is getting dragged for publishing the birth names of trans actors without their permission. Known as “deadnaming”, the outing of their birth names can bring about stress and possibly lead to harassment and discrimination. Two anonymous trans actors told IndieWire that they have told IMDb to remove their birth names numerous times but they hadn’t complied. Even with the help from their management, reps and GLAAD, their names continued to be displayed. After contacting IMDb, one of the trans actors said they gave a “non-apology” and they claimed that it’s public information and...
  • Judge Pauses Enforcement of IMDb Age Censorship Law

    Hollywood stars wanting to remove their ages from IMDb will have to wait until the website resolves its legal battle with the state of California after a federal judge on Wednesday granted an injunction staying enforcement of a new law that would force the site to take down that information upon request. The law is meant to prevent age discrimination in a youth-obsessed industry, but it has been widely criticized as a restraint on free speech. U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria unequivocally shared that concern in an opinion filed Wednesday. "[I]t's difficult to imagine how AB 1687 could not violate...

If you want to see Palin Derangement syndrome at its finest look here Rotten Tomatoes is just as bad but IMDB is more popular. IMDB is also owned and run by Amazon if you want to complain about it.

  • Is IMDB (Amazon) trying to underrate 'An American Carol'

    I have been closely monitoring the imdb user rating for 'An American Carol' since the movie premiered Friday. It's usually safe to discount the first few hundred ratings of a highly anticipated movie because of skewering(small number of people trying to influence its rating) but the score on imdb has been sitting at 3.8/10 (263 votes) for over 36 hours! Imdb (Amazon) typically updates ratings every few hours and no later than a day but it isn't happening. Makes me question their motives.

    Bruce Willis has jumped to the defense of controversial author James Frey, declaring he was unfairly attacked on Oprah Winfrey's TV show last month. Frey has been criticized for embellishing parts of his best-selling book, A Million Little Pieces, which was originally billed as a memoir. The Die Hard star says on TV show Access Hollywood, "Look at what happened to James Frey in the last two weeks. That's a great book and so is the follow-up book. And just because his publisher chose to say that these were memoirs, it took it out of being a great work of...
