Silly me, being on HN I clicked on this expecting to see something like a Singular Value Decomposition of Rotten Tomatoes ratings. Sigh.

I read the OP anyway. It's worth reading. The short of it is that movie studios and their unscrupulous apparatchiks are paying less prominent movie critics to keep negative reviews out of view of Rotten Tomatoes, for example, by publishing those negative reviews in a separate, more obscure blog.

Personally, I now trust only the reviews of a handful of movie critics whose reviews have proven to be reliable over the years.

I was, for some reason, expecting it was a paper about tomatoes decomposing after they rot. lol

On vulture.com? It would be silly to expect that article from the entertainment magazine.

Even then I still make my own decision on it. I have been surprised by a few movies I thought were just fine/horrible but my favorite reviewers disliked/liked it.

Oh the domain name is the last thing I read. It's all the way to the right!
