Rotten Tomatoes’ scoring system is completely broken, and the Joker movie reviews are the latest proof of that. Unlike other review aggregation platforms, such as Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer is purely measured on the likes and dislikes of film critics, harkening back to the old days of play reviews according to the site. Any movie that is scored higher than 60% receives a fresh rating and anything over 75% is Certified Fresh....

Joker’s Rotten Tomatoes score drops a bit following negative reviews out of the Toronto International Film Festival. Even though it’s a few weeks away from hitting theaters, Joker is poised to be one of the most polarizing films of 2019. While some have praised the movie as a game-changing masterpiece (bolstered by Joaquin Phoenix’s transformative performance), others have voiced concern about Joker’s potentially problematic approach to its social commentary elements. The debates about the film’s merits should only get more heated when it opens to the general public in October....

But what does it mean for the company? Ive is still in charge of the company’s industrial design and user interface divisions, but he won’t have to worry so much about administrative and management work, which is unarguably best for both him and the company. Over the years, we’ve learned that Ive isn’t much of a public speaker. Even at new product launches, Ive hardly ever attends events to discuss the new iPhone, iPad or iOS, as learned from Ive’s profile by Ian Parker for the New Yorker earlier this year....

A Kickstarter campaign launched earlier this month is aiming to help save the lives of children across the country with an iPhone-connected, weight-activated child seat sensor called Starfish. The concept is fairly simple. The Starfish sensor pairs with your iPhone via Bluetooth, then fits under the padding of a child safety seat in your car. Once the sensor detects a child in the seat, it creates a small geofence of about 20 feet....

Reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is out with a wide-ranging new report today focused on what to expect from Apple in 2021. The analyst says that Apple will release its first augmented reality device in 2021, alongside AirTag item trackers and much more. AirTags have been rumored for well over a year now, and despite multiple reports suggesting a release, Apple has stayed silent on the fate of the accessory. Nonetheless, Kuo doubles down on the existence of AirTags in today’s report, suggesting that the long-anticipated item tracker will be released in 2021....

Despite the huge split in opinion when it comes to the most-recent movies that help make up the DC Extended Universe (Suicide Squad and Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice), DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures will continue on with releasing their slate of upcoming films; with Wonder Woman right around the corner and superhero team-up Justice League following towards the end of the year. While information surrounding the Justice League film has been trickling out and speculation surrounding the movie’s second trailer dropping in the spring continues, little has been said about the confirmation that Warner Bros recently made of Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor being part of the Justice League cast....

Kentucky Route Zero has reached its end, and it’s been a long time coming. The game’s first act was released back in 2013, with developer Cardboard Computer steadily releasing further episodes and side content to expand its surreal story. The last act is finally here, coinciding with a complete release of the title for home consoles. The key premise of Kentucky Route Zero seems simple enough. Conway is a driver for an antique store, and is trying to deliver to the mysterious address of 5 Dogwood Drive....

Ever since his debut film, Clerks, was released back in the mid 1990s, Kevin Smith has been praised as some kind of pop culture icon in the comic book fandom world. Unabashedly enthusiastic about the things he loves and the characters he loves, Smith hasn’t been afraid to share his opinion about all things within those worlds throughout the years; whether it be what he thinks of the latest film from Marvel Studios, or the newest superhero TV series to make its debut on Netflix, ABC, and so on....

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is bringing audiences a new take on the King Arthur myth. With Guy Ritchie directing, it’s no surprise that this new Arthur is being portrayed as more of a gritty, street-wise version of the character than we’ve seen in other movies. Charlie Hunnam is playing Arthur, and he will certainly be bringing some of the edge and attitude he showed during his stint as a smoldering biker on Sons of Anarchy....

Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Kim Kardashian announced that she doesn’t want to have any more children with her rapper husband Kanye West. The reality TV star is content with her four children that she already has. Since their show first aired in 2007, the Kardashian klan has been entertaining the reality tv watching masses, with Kim at the center of it all. The beauty mogul married Kanye in 2014, which was featured on season 9 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians — it was Kim’s third marriage and the first for Kanye....

Warner Bros’ Joker has become the most profitable comic book movie ever. The Joaquin Phoenix-starring thriller has been shattering the box office left and right. Earlier this week, the film was reportedly on track to achieve $1 billion at the box office. Joker released over a month ago, and is still making headlines. The film has garnered varied responses, even dividing Oscar voters. One common point of agreement is Phoenix’s performance as the title character....

Jonathan Van Ness from Queer Eye is the first non-female on Cosmopolitan UK’s cover in more than three decades. The cover is being praised for its bold display of non-binary beauty and fashion-forwardness. Van Ness dons a sherbet-colored gown designed by Christian Siriano. He accessorizes his cover look with sports socks and vintage-inspired Nike trainers. Inside the publication, Van Ness models other vibrant looks including a floral dress with patent-leather combat boots....

A new report from KGI’s Ming-Chi Kuo indicates that the upcoming iPhone 8 will be about the same physical size as the 4.7 inch iPhone 7 and yet pack a much bigger battery, comparable to the 2700 mAH battery in iPhone 7 Plus. With reports indicating the OLED iPhone screen is circa 5.5 inches, it seems that the ‘no bezels’ rumor is true as its the only way the device would be able to be similar in physical width and height to a 4....

Meet Tabby, Kunai’s mute anthropomorphic tablet in a kimono hiding an arsenal and some slick moves. With an attractively rendered limited color palette and a superb sense of game-feel, publisher The Arcade Crew’s newest release offers up keen platforming in a metroidvania template that excels, thanks to considerable attention paid to movement and combat. It’s pixelated parkour with swords and explosions, and that’s all any players should need to now....

Venice Film Festival Chief Alberto Barbera says Joker will be a definite Oscar contender this year. The film premiered in Venice this past weekend, where it received widespread critical praise and was proclaimed a game-changer for comic book adaptations. Joaquin Phoenix’s transformative performance as the Clown Prince of Crime earned raves across the board, and some people used the word “masterpiece” to describe Joker’s hauntingly dark origin story for its titular character....

Joker director Todd Phillips says he would like to see a film about Batman set in the same big screen version of Gotham City as his own DC movie. Phillips’ extremely popular (and more than a little divisive) comic book adaptation actually sets the stage for the rise of the Caped Crusader during its own third act. The film climaxes with a riot breaking out in Gotham, spurred on by its protagonist, Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), having murdered talk show host Murray Franklin (Robert DeNiro) on-air....

While Sam Raimi and Marc Webb’s respective Spider-Man franchise had their many ups and downs, Sony Pictures was still determined to have a working franchise going. After years of fans hoping for the web-slinger to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sony and Marvel eventually agreed to a team-up which would allow Spider-Man to appear in the Avengers universe. With Tom Holland taking on the role in the MCU, we have seen a young Peter Parker take part in several Avengers films as well as star in his own franchise....

Screen Rant: Jovan, congratulations on all the success. You’re certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. You guys had a great debut at Fantastic Fest, and now we’re finally come full circle and made it to the home video release for Blu-ray and Digital. Talk to me about Boyce. Talk to me about the character a little bit. Screen Rant: All the characters are really flushed out in this movie and this does definitely feel like a band of brothers type of war epic, along with the mashup of a horror film....

Jurassic World 3 may be adding another familiar face: original Jurassic Park actor Joe Mazzello. Mazzello played Tim Murphy, the younger brother of Lex and grandson of John Hammond. Due to their parents’ divorce, the two come to Jurassic Park and spend a lot of time with Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), who saves their lives many times. Lex and Tim also appear in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, but only at the beginning of the film....
