What movies are you watching?

[The Argonaut]

There was some talk about the merits of Rotten Tomatoes a while ago (I think in this thread). I took a look at the RT score for my top 20 films of the last few years:

Punch-Drunk Love-79%
The Darjeeling Limited-68%
Synecdoche, New York-68%
Inside Llewyn Davis-94%
Killing Them Softly-75%
The Master-85%
Shotgun Stories-91%
Broken Flowers-88%
Children of Men-93%
Oldboy (2005)-80%
Wendy and Lucy-85%
Blue Valentine-87%
Boyhood-98%
Melancholia-78%
Up-98%
Toy Story 3-99%
Snowpiercer-95%
Prince Avalanche-83%
Foxcatcher-87%
Valhalla Rising-71%

High of 99%, low of 68%, average of 89.85.
90-99: 7
80-89: 7
70-79: 4
68: 2

of note: The top three, and four of the top five, are all below 80%. The top ten only has three movies at 90% or above. And my list is criminally low on non-American films, so take that for what it is.

There was some talk about the merits of Rotten Tomatoes a while ago (I think in this thread). I took a look at the RT score for my top 20 films of the last few years:

I'm bored. From 2010 forward:

1. Valhalla Rising - 71%
2. Only God Forgives - 40%
3. Drive - 93%
4. Spring Breakers - 65%
5. The Lords of Salem - 45%
6. Godzilla - 74%
7. The Master - 85%
8. Nightcrawler - 95%
9. Vamps - 53%
10. The Paperboy - 43%
11. The Ghost Writer - 83%
12. Enter the Void - 72%
13. Monsters - 71%
14. Hanna - 72%
15. The Comedy - 47%
16. Blackhat - 31%
17. How I Live Now - 67%
18. Venus in Fur - 91%

Didn't feel like rounding out a full 20.

High: 95%
Low: 31%
Average: 66.55%

Like I said before: RT is nonsense and/because critics have no idea what they're talking about. They've become passive, insular marketing tools driven by lock-step psychopolitical biases.

How big are you?

Big enough to clean your clock

[The Argonaut]

I'm only 5'7" 135, so I don't doubt that.

[LoathedVermin72]

Okay, yeah, that might be sort of an unfair match

[Kaius]

I will fight you.

[Kaius]

but only if it's to the death.

Ohh... Dr. Kaius

[LoathedVermin72]

Kaius, how should one pronounce your username?

[Rangi Guy]

Watched Rocky 5 last night - quite a disappointment from what preceded it

[Kaius]

and we each get to animorph into a single species of our choice.
