A) You seem to believe I claimed "TGS" wasn't a hit. I didn't - but it wasn't some massive hit. 18th place for 2017. Not massive hit. B) Legs are awesome, but ultimately act as some be-all, end-all of what's a hit and what isn't. The fact it stayed in theaters longer doesn't somehow make...

Well, look at the numbers. If you start at $9 million and make $178 million, the movie ends with almost 20x its opening weekend. The Last Jedi, for example, ended with about 3x it's opening weekend. I call 20x a hit. That means the people who did see it started telling their friends and family...

Totally. But how many voters publicly acknowledged not watching the film? How many others didn't acknowledge it but didn't? Is anyone actually going to make the case that Crash is a better film? If you look at ye ole' loved Rotten Tomatoes, BM wins with critics and Crash has the lead with...

It's not a sin, granted and understood. But the post-telecast hand wringing over ratings and eyeballs tends to argue this point. The more the arty, no one has seen them movies get nods, the less people tune into the show. Add some more popular movies in there and you may get more eyeballs...

Not gonna argue their terminology, but when someone says "55% rotten," what does that make you think? It certainly doesn't say to me 112 of 204 scores are fresh. If you score 112 of 204 on a test, you got 55% of the answers correct, 45% incorrect. The film is "rotten" based on their numbers...

Shouldn't that be 55% fresh and 45% rotten? There are more positive reviews than negative, so that would mean it was 55% fresh.

What Colin said above. I adore the hell out of TGS...I left the theater in a great mood back in January and love the music. But is it a quality movie? Eh...I don't think I can say it's Best Picture worthy. It plays SUPER loose with history and has more than one "oh boy, they did that..." part...
