Netflix's May December Ratings, Questions Rotten Tomatoes' Credibility. (Or Lack Thereof)

-

So, after Zac Snyder's upcoming Rebel Moon has been lambasted with negative reception based on Rotten Tomatoes' scorecard, it's puzzling how Netflix's May December had a 91 percent approval rating on the review aggregation website composed of various critics where a simple "yes" or "no" can make or break a movie. As for the movie in question, it’s a supposed to be a dark comedy loosely inspired by the infamous Mary Kay Letourneau, who had sex with an underage male which sparked controversy regarding sexual assault and gender.

While you have major actors such as Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman in a rather attention-grabbing premise of an actress who is set to play the role as a woman who is married to a man she's been with since the age of 13, the story and overall execution leaves this Todd Haynes directed movie flat on its ass. Aside from the purposely overdramatic soundtrack, I did not get a chuckle out of this dumpster fire. This brings Rotten Tomatoes credibility into question. No movie, TV series, album, or videogame should not be rated by some AIO site as the end all to be all. And to compound things further is that the site is co-owned by Warner Brothers Discovery, and NBC Universal ergo RT is kind of sus!
There have been numerous times where RT have made a bad call and May December is no exception. Now unless Rebel Moon is as bad as plenty of critics claim, Snyder and Netflix can breathe easy.

The Oscar's is soon approaching and while this year's 55th Academy Awards will take extra precaution due to a silly incident, let’s not forget how the hypocrites from the American Academy of Motion pictures and science, awarded Director "Raping" Roman Polanski for 2004's The Pianist as best picture. As of recent, one of Polanski's biggest fans, Harvey Weinstein has received an additional 16 year sentence for rape and sexual assault but prior to his scandalous trial, which more than 80 women made allegations of sexual harassment and/or rape against the infamous producer. But prior to these allegations, leading to his sentencing, Weinstein formed a petition for the release of notorious Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski who drugged, raped and sodomized a 13-year-old girl, as a result became a fugitive from the U.S. criminal justice system, since 1978, after pledging guilty for his heinous crime. When Polanski was arrested in Zurich, Switzerland, in correlation to h

THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!FACT!!!

Written by Creepythinman Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead is my number one favorite movie and the one I’ve watched more than any other in my lifetime and that’s because the film is a masterpiece of the zombie genre. I used to watch it a few times a week during my childhood and would have it playing in the background, when not studying or banging beaver where I would devour textbooks and pussy like a putrescent corpse eats BRAINS! But I always wondered why this movie above all others fascinated me ever so? It could be because I love zombies and have watched, read and played almost everything to do with them in every form of media. It pleases me that the living dead have rightfully taken their place as the great cinematic monster of our time when they used to be regarded as a mongrel sub-genre before George A. Romero’s seminal masterpiece Night of the Living Dead (1968) became the defining Horror movie of the last century. As I’ve said many times before, there are onl

Miami Vice finale: Freefall (1989) Directed by Russ Mayberry Reviewer’s note: Originally, I planned on doing a write up last year which was the benchmark of this episode’s 30th anniversary but was either sidetracked or too lazy. So now, here we are. We had one hell of a run, didn't we, partner." That quote pretty much sums it all! 1989, was the bookend of the greatest decade of popular culture. The 1980's was on its way out. But before fading out, there was this finale of yet another great series which defined  this exciting decade: NBC's Miami Vice 1984-1989.  This Crime Drama was innovative on so many levels, be it the implementation of adding rock songs within scenarios,  Jan Hammer's amazing soundtrack, adult subject matter that at times were disturbing,  solid character arcs, the introduction of then unknown actors like Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis and Wesley Snipes just to name a few, the bromance between Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, gorgeous nightlife sc
