John from Cincinnati Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, The Natural said: Looking back, I'm surprised there's a good chunk of entries without Once Upon a Time in Hollywood on RT lists. Seeing the trajectory of his last few flims' RT scores suggests some potential wisdom and stepping around that particular trap. Also, you ought to get around to both of those flicks since you so clearly want to. Maybe Hateful Eight gets you on the Goggins bandwagon with the rest of us, and Death Proof is short and light by Tarantino standards.

J.T. Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) 65% is pretty bad by early review standards. It will either sink like a rock by release or stabilize. I suspect that it will either stay fresh in the low sixty percentile or be slightly rotten in the low to mid fifties. Edited May 22, 2019 by J.T.

J.T. Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 And it's now at 60% Of other depressing interest to me, Brightburn is currently at 64%. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Today would be the last day for anyone to include Aladdin on their lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Finally ready to post the prizes. 4 Criterion dvds and 4 normal dvds. Top 2 finishers get to pick two (but only one Criterion at most), 3rd place through 6th place gets to pick one each. And there's a booby prize for last place. HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH (Criterion - Rippa) After falling in love with an army sergeant, a boy named Hansel undergoes a sex-change operation to legally marry his beloved. But the operation is botched, leaving the boy less than a man, but not quite a woman. Deserted in a Kansas trailer park, the boy/girl, now named Hedwig, reinvents himself/herself as a rock star. POLICE STORY & POLICE STORY 2 (Criterion box set) Packed wall-to-wall with astoundingly acrobatic fight choreography, epic explosions, charmingly goofball slapstick, and awesomely 1980s electro soundtracks, Police Story and Police Story 2 set a new standard for rock-’em, sock-’em mayhem that established Jackie Chan as a performer of unparalleled grace and daring and would influence a generation of filmmakers, from Hong Kong to Hollywood. MULHOLLAND DRIVE (Criterion) Two beautiful women are caught up in a lethally twisted mystery - and ensnared in an equally dangerous web of erotic passion. THE PRINCESS BRIDE (Criterion) The Princess Bride is staged as a book read by grandfather (Peter Falk) to his ill grandson (Fred Savage). Falk's character assures a romance-weary Savage that the book has much more to deliver than a simpering love story, including but not limited to fencing, fighting, torture, death, true love, giants, and pirates. BIG FISH & BEGONIA (Rippa) From ancient Chinese legends comes an exciting tale of myth and magic. Under the ocean is a mystical race of beings. One of these beings, a 16-year-old girl, travels to the human world in the form of a dolphin and forms a connection with a human boy. FREE SOLO Free solo climber Alex Honnold prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: scaling the 3,200-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without a rope. BORDER A border guard with the special ability to smell human emotions meets a mysterious man that confounds her detection, forcing her to confront disturbing insights about herself. AMERICAN ANIMALS The unbelievable but true story of four young men who brazenly attempt to execute one of the most audacious art heists in U.S. history. And the booby prize: PINOCCHIO Academy Award winner Roberto Benigni (Best Actor, Life is Beautiful, 1999) brings one of the world's most beloved characters to the screen with this delightful live action adaptation of Carlo Collodi's classic story. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I actually wanted to pick The Avengers (the Uma Thurman, Ralph Fiennes one) but DVD stock is debatable at best. So instead you get another live action Disney movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Looks like Rotten Tomatoes has changed their site so that people can no longer tell exactly how many fresh reviews a movie got, unless they want to go through and count them all by hand. This could be a problem if two movies end up showing, say, 66% Fresh, and I want to figure out the exact percentages to see which one is actually ahead. It's also possible that maybe I just can't see the exact Fresh/Rotten count because of the browser I'm using? (Internet Explorer - I'm on my work computer, it's not my choice.) Gotta check this when I get home tonight. The internet continues to find new and exciting ways to make my life difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you have to do is click on the more info button on the movie title and it shows you the difference Like John Wick right now is 264 reviews - 236 Fresh/28 Rotten It is entirely possible that depending on your browser the feature doesn't work. But it works for me in Chrome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
