The best movies I saw this year were Bohemian Rhapsody (Critics: 61%, Audience: 87%) and Alita: Battle Angel (Critics: 60%, Audience: 94%). Maybe Rotten Tomatoes should be looking into how their critics are reviewing movies instead of banning "trolls"? If you read some of the critic reviews for the movies I mentioned, they are equally tinged with cultural and ideological opinions.

I think this is why conservatives are so up in arms about this movie. The majority of critics lean left and give high ratings to movies that align with their values. But when conservatives attempt to promote their own opinions about a movie, it's censored because "trolls". At this point, I give more weight to an army of fans, or haters, than a small group of critics.

It's also interesting how the NY Times, New Yorker and The Atlantic will write an essay afterwards that give "nuance" to the details of these types of events. Typically with a liberal bias.

I think you need to be more specific than liberal or conservative. They way those terms are used usually correlates highest to "live near a large city" or "lives in a rural area."

I think it is more useful to break it down further than that to get more understanding.

Huh. I never before considered that liberal meant "city dweller" and conservative meant "farm boy". I had always assumed the terms were used to describe the different ends of a value base continuum.

I stand enlightened.

Outside the US it has a clearer meaning. Inside the US they have lost their meaning.

Not to people who value values.
