  • I was kinda upset with Disney/PIXAR for not bringing back Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling due to pay disputes.

    Amy Poehler got $5 million plus bonuses… and they offered Bill and Mindy $100k each. Now, I know Amy’s character Joy is the most important with likely the most lines, but that’s a huge difference. And then you cut out taxes, pay managers, agents, lawyers… the amount is a lot less. A slap in the face.

    Would kids notice the difference in voices? Probably not. But then why hire those actors to begin with on the first movie?





  • Audience rankings on Rotten Tomatoes can give a good idea of how well a movie is liked… however there are often review bombings where groups give something a score of one instead of an actual review. IMDb scores are usually a bit better.

    Critics score is more useless to me… as some are being paid by Hollywood to write a good review. Also, a high percentage Rotten Tomatoes score only means that most critics gave a somewhat positive review. I’d rather have 70% Fresh of critics who give 4/5 stars on average than 90% Fresh who give it 3/5.

    They used to have the score averages of critics, but took that away… probably because some critics don’t even rate the films they review, but rather talk about it.

    Best to just follow individual critics you mostly agree with.
