I like Rotten Tomatoes as a site, but apparently they only accept submissions from "accredited" film critics. In other words, a site like ours could NEVER qualify to submit reviews to them (and maybe the world is a better place because of that). I just think "whatever" because there are a lot of awful, shitty, terrible critics on Rotten Tomatoes who managed to sneak in via a "professional looking" website, membership in some lame ass film society or employment by some local paper like the Greenville Harold-Banner (I mean, come on). I understand there need to be standards and criteria, but damn, really? Why isn't there just an application process? All we want to do is see free movies, and maybe we'll write about them if we get time. Is that too much to ask?RATING: 39% or ROTTEN

I see a butterfly in that picture.
Yeah, a lot of those reviewers are morons and/or total flakes. Like this one, for instance:

This may be the stupidest, most pretentious review I've ever read, and the movie was pretty bad too.
That might be one of the worst reviews I've ever read.
I know, man. I read it, like, a year ago, and it was so memorably bad that I spent 15 minutes sifting through the archived reviews looking for it to post the link here.
