I mean it’s a little ridiculous that the film is considered better than the likes of The Godfather. Clay could make statements like that, however he has to throw in some moronic quote at the end of his tweets, thus staying at the bare minimum of his 1 percent credibility.
that is because of the rotten tomatoes formula that weights stuff depending on the amount of reviews godfather has 98% rating but only 87 reviews compared to 96% and 314 reviews for black panther. it is a dumb formula that means nothing because it unfairly weighs new movies that are going to have more reviews no matter what
Rotten tomatoes is just a review aggregator. It's measuring broad approval or disapproval, it isn't ranking anything
Yeah, this is why it was such a stupid take. 98% means 98 people out of 100 thought it wasn't a bad movie. It's not a "grade" out of 100 for quality. Clay knows his base is retarded and will eat that up if he blows his dog whistle, though
I would say the endless sequels, universes and money grabs probably far out pace a movie review site.
The money grabs finance other more creative films. The bad ones, like in most any other industry, eventually die off. RT accommodates and even encourages intellectual laziness along with trying to quantify subjectivity.
And there’s very very few of them compared to the sheer amount of films being made nowadays, and even fewer so that are currently sustaining. To describe such things as ‘endless’ is hilariously short-sighted.
I have it on good authority that he did make a substantial amount of money on some real estate developments. He also used to own a big chunk of the Tin Roof bar chain.
