    I discovered Rotten Tomatoes back before it influenced the whole industry, and was just a review aggregator. Seeing the name Peter Travers brought back memories, because the site used to let you pick favorite critics. He and I have similar likes and dislikes when it comes to film, and more importantly, we often have similar reasons for those opinions.

    I didn’t realize the site was now owned by a studio, and gaming the system had become rampant. If anyone has alternative suggestions, I’m listening!
