Concerning Rotten Tomatoes

Scott Mendelson gives a behind-the-scenes on what it’s like to be a Rotten Tomatoes contributing critic. I wouldn’t know because RT never let me in, even back when Stop Button was arguably getting enough traffic to support that entry.

It doesn’t get that much traffic anymore, of course. And I don’t read Rotten Tomatoes, but if it’s going to be on DVD and Blu-ray covers and probably some theatrical posters as advertising? People should at least understand how it works. I understood how it worked, but it’d been a while since I’d read anything on it and Scott Mendelson’s got a fantastic way of breaking it down.

The site works just fine as long as you know how to use it.
