Should we trust in Rotten Tomatoes?

2/26/2019

0 Comments

 
To be fair about this on this post. I never fully trusted some reviews on many sites that just give the person that reviewed movies & games for many reasons. One of the reasons is the fact that we all know that some reviews are paid or given a small gift to get a good review that don't matches my own views of film or game.

With me spending my own money in order in get the experiences on what some got to enjoy it for free. It does show a bit of a favoritism for the media. I don't get to do anything for free. I got to pay just to give you all my point of view on something that others get for free. Yes I know that some the bigger named sites get the better deal in the end, but that doesn't hurt me at all. It makes me a better then they because that I'm telling you opinion on "what a mess" or "how great a film" is in my reviews & all.

Let's talk about the biggest Elephant in the room that is Rotten Tomatoes. For the past few year they have been the site that can make or break a film when hit the theaters & see if the critics are right or wrong about the reviews that they give the films. Sometimes their right & sometimes their wrong. I'm fine with some of the big named critics that think that a film is good or not. To me I just like to see if the fans that are going to see the film are liking it. This is why that I think the fans' voices are the reason the I like site like Rotten Tomatoes. It's nice to hear their take on the film & see if the critics are right or wrong about the same film.

The one thing that that I liked the most was Rotten Tomatoes had that I kinda liked was the "What to see" on all the films that will be coming out soon. Now that is gone for some odd reason. I think that some big named person at Disney called up to Rotten Tomatoes & told them to pull the feature from the site. I'm for shore on that, but I do have a my some reasons on what was going on.

I think that Captain Marvel's "What to see" was at 27% before the whole site was change, but it was a bit strange to get a good feature that was fine till now. I get that some people do fear very low numbers that kill something that is very hyped up, but a small amount of fans form one site can't kill any film.

With all that said. I still don't think that this will stop "Review Bombing" which is major problem that some sites like Rotten Tomatoes will ever fully stop this problem & get any reviews that truly see the real review of a video game, comic, film or T.V. show. I know that there is no magic bullet that can fixed all these problems in the long run, but it's a start.

There is a small light of hope that someone is giving a fair review of product that is not there & it's a good one in the end. We all need to be grateful that there are people are giving their views on things that are out there. We can't always trust a single site that give out reviews. We need to see what others are saying & hopefully their opinions are a bit better then others.

Why I'm fearing the worst for the future of popculture.

This has to be the hardest post that I will ever do, but I think that we need to point that everything that  I have ever loved about popculture is being attack for what reason that a crazy person is coming up with & people are just running without questing it.

For almost 5 years gamer gate has been talked to death still coming up as a reason that makes no sense to connect the core reason that gamer gate was for, Which gamer gate was a movement to make gaming journalist more transparent on some of their stories that they working on was or wasn't paid by a major game company or on their own dime, If that a game that they preview, reviewing or reporting on a game that have a close tie to or just any type of unethical practice that is a problem.

Now for about 2 years we all been talking about the that comic industry is not doing very well & been slowing down in the sales. Now I personal have seen some signs of this & think that some of the big name comic books companies are in some kind of trouble. The big issues that I have seen that is the core of this problem is that some of the most high profiled names in the comic book industry are just putting their personal politics/views on the world into the stories, changing a classic character's sexuality, playing the race/sex card, attacking/blocking fans for no real reason at all & have very bad art style that looks like a child drawn it.

This next one is a major problem that I have had with some of the people that are in charge of these big name companies. That been using their position at a company to promote their political views that has killed some movies in the past few years. We all can guess some of the movies that been used to promote their stupid messages.

I do support any storng code of ethics of transparency? Yes I do, We all need to have some kind of faith in that we can trust that a reporter is being open on all details that the reporter was paid, have some kind of ties to the person that their interviewing or was favoritism to something their talking about.

Can we save the industry that we all love by showing or telling them that this is not a good idea? Sure we can. We just buy what we love & pass on the things that is not for us at all. If you don't like the way that a story/character is doing? Then don't buy the item & but something that you may like to enjoy.

Should we shove are personal views/politics in are stories? No. This is just another way to make you go broke in the end. I just don't like to hear that a good company that goes woke & then goes broke. To me if you think that a single change to anything that you think that will the project better. Is just a stupid way to just look like a fool that made a small group happy & never will see the movie.

Is attacking your fanbase that made you the great in the first place. hat is never a good idea to do. Some fans don't forgive as easy others. The more you attack/call them names. The longer the time that it will take them to see that it was wrong to do in the first place. I did forgave Sony for there comments that made against the diehard Ghostbusters fans that disliked that 2016 reboot. That was a flop by the way.

There is one more thing that I like to say. We all may not get are way in the way that things in pop culture are going, but we can make are voice heard by not buying or going to something that we may not like. I hope that we all can change that the way that we like it to go by just supporting something that we like.

I really didn't like to make this post, but I like to say this. I need to a small break from the blog. There has been a little too much going on in my private life that is pushing me to my limits. My work has been little hard on me & been getting little sleep.

So I think that it's time for a bit of time off on the blog, but I will try to post something this weekend & hopefully that you will like on what topic that I choose to post then. I don't like to make this dissension, but I have little to say in it.

Is AnimeGate here?

2/12/2019

It seems that the one thing that I hoped that never happen has just started. To some people a thing that is called "Anime Gate"is here. I never thought that it would ever start like this & boy it's going to be a show for the ages.

To far about his I always thought it would start like how Gamer Gate started & have a strong impact on the anime industry after the dust has settled. Then we can see if the industry can be a better after they seen the wrong doing of their actions.

Well I was wrong about on how it was going to start. It all started after the release of Dragon Ball Super Broly. one of the main voice actors Vic Mignogna. After the a few weeks the movie was out in theaters. There was some rumors that he has been sexually assaulting fans, being rude to staff members at cons, homophobia, antisemitic & other things that I can't confirm that he has done in the past 10 years or so.

Now I do have a personal interaction with Vic & he was just a nice person that loves his fans. I can't get my head around the fact that Vic is a monster & a evil person. With all the reports that are going around that are not giving a lot to make a full decision on the reports.

Since the reports of misconduct started. Vic has lost his job for Rooster Teeth & Funimation in just a few days apart. To me this is wrong to do to a person. Now I been seeing that his convention schedule for the year is almost wiped out. I was just sick that this is going on in this world.

Do we need a good investigation on theses claims? Yes we do. I hope that when all the claims are false & the people that are making them up are put in their place in the jail cell that they need to be in for making up these lies against a person that did no wrong doing in the first place.

I may not forgive the fools that started this hate campaign in the beginning, but as times goes on I hope that I will someday that I can understand on why they did it. To me these heartless people need to think before hit that send button. Once the internet. It can't take it back.

There is one more thing that I like to say & that is. I do wish that Vic the best of luck on clearing his good name. The lawsuit maybe a long one, but it will show that the truth is brightest light that will not be castes over.

Why I still love GhostBusters 1 & 2.

2/5/2019

Last month we all got a teaser trailer that GhostBusters 3 is in the works  & as far as we all know that most of the original cast is on broad to come back to do it. After this news got to the cast of the fail reboot got wind of this. It was to the long waited sequel of the original films & not their film. They don't take to the news very kindly to the reports at all.

So I thought it would be nice to see the original two films & see how much that I remember seeing as a child. Man I forgot on how much that I forgot of them. To me they a small part of my childhood to believe in ghost stories today.

Now I don't think that they it has aged very well in the CGI parts of the films, but at the time it looked amazing in my little mind at the time that I first seen the films. Some of the humor still hits it's mark in both films & still gets me smiling on most of the jokes.

If you have to ask me I can see these films as classic films that need to be respected for what they did right for there time & how they was able to pull it all off the final version of the film that people got to see in the theaters.

Can the third installment be as good as the first two films? I think so. If they can get the original cast to come back for one more time & past the torch to younger set of GhostBusters that can care a big load of hype for the future of this franchise. That may happen if the fans of the original are happy with the way that the story is done.

To me I think that the original films are still as great today as the first time that I seem them. Yes the effects in the late 80's where a bit bad & cheap compare to today's high quality CGI effects. For some odd reason I still love these films & can't explain why I do?

We all need to love all the films that we see in your lives. Because if we let those that hate classic films that changed the way that we see the world & like to make a movie of are own one day. We all have to play by a set of rules that is always changing.

I just real just like to say that We all have hope for the next installment of the GhostBusters franchise in the next year. I will always have the films that I grow up on & will always loved them for what they did right & amazed my young mind. I just can't wait to see a great GhostBusters film on the big sliver screen at a theater near me.

Is it okay to attack people just writing a book?

2/2/2019

This really made me mad. A few days ago I watched a video that a woman was being attacked for writing a book that was set in a fantasy world & had a slavery in it. Now I was just sick that a woman had a book deal to have a book to get published.

Now I don't know all the details & I think that story is real to me. So I guess these so called woman supporters are just fools & they are sexist. I just don't understand that a woman is sadden to be forced to call up her publisher & tell them to hold on releasing the book.

I do think that this is sick? Yes. It sickens me to hear that woman that was bullied into pull her book from being published. For just talking about slavery in a fantasy world that is not real at all. I do like that people are using history for a setting in any world of entertainment. As long you can try to guess on what they used for their exasperation on their world that they build up.

Can we just let an author do their own story without others telling them what to do? Yeah. We should just let author do their work by just letting them work on the stories that they like to tell. I think that some of the greatest authors nowadays are using history to their advantage. It's full of stories that we can tell that nobody will tell. If somebody just let a authors do their best, but no. There had to be someone had to be hurt by this book.

Should we use history for stories? Yes. I think that in some way most of the best movies & anime have used history in order to tell there stories. I do see that there is some history infused in what their doing with the world there building.

Is this a sign that we may have to stop using history as a influence? No. I think that history is a very rich source for any great story. We can't stop do to a few bad apples that think that their king of the way that anyone should tell a story.

With all this say. I do hope that we all can see we can do so much better then what those did to a poor woman that just like for her work to be published. So that the world can see the amazing hard work that she put into her books that was going to be in the hands of countless people.
