Do you check Rotten Tomatoes before seeing a movie?

Do you check Rotten Tomatoes before seeing a movie? I'll check if I'm on the fence about spending $50 at the theater or waiting for DVD and sometimes I'll decide if it's easier to wait for the second-run ($1) theaters if I think the movie needs a larger screen.

But yeah, Hollywood just puts out of a lot of crap these days. I'm looking at you, #Transformers5 and #FastandFurious23. I haven't seen The Mummy starring Tom Cruise, but seriously, it's Tom Cruise, so who cares? I'd like to see #Valerian but just didn't want to this weekend.

I think Rotten Tomatoes missed a wonderful opportunity. The scale they adopted is just like others -- zero is bad, 100 is good. Instead, they should have made zero good, with no rotten tomatoes thrown, and 100 bad, with 100 rotten tomatoes thrown.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
