Man, this looks very bad for RT. If they don't course correct on this, they are going to lie any remaining trust or faith.
RT looking almost as bad as RT.
Take the rest of the week off after that one.
They've been obvious shills for at least a decade. All you have to do is look at any new release. They rarely get below 80/90%. Every single fucking movie can't be the citizen Kane they claim it is.
If only people who buy tickets can leave the initial reviews, that kind of makes sense. Their system selects for people who are interested in the premise of the movie.
