Ah yes, the ole' Rotten Tomatoes Dilemma; do you listen to the critics who know what they're talking about who what you to stimulate them intellectually, or the audience who come en masse to make an emotional connection with what you've made? Which one truly matters? Which one should you take seriously? Who's opinion effects future exhibitions? Do either of them even matter?

Get the Rotten Tomatoes Dilemmamug. When certain features or basic functions present on a new product are changed for the sake of "innovation" with no consideration for practicality.
"It just feels like the thought process was 'well, let's change these designs, because that's what innovators do. And also it will get attention,' without actually improving on the old designs, or thinking about actual problems with the old designs that could be solved. See, what's happening here is not uncommon for Tesla and some other car companies, but specifically any of Elon's companies. I don't know if there's a name for it yet, so I'm just gonna call it Futurism over Function."

No. That's too much. That's gone right over the Tropic of Fuckabout on a jet-ski full of dicks. I'm done. Fuck The Surge, fuck Deck13, fuck anyone who likes it. Blimey, that's filled my schedule out for the week."

Neil: I'm telling you, man. "SS Girls" was a billion times more disturbing than "Women's Camp 119."
Craig: "Women's Camp 119" takes place in a frickin' extermination camp! If "SS Girls" had taken place in an extermination camp I'd agree with you. But it's in a whorehouse, so it might as well be a musical!
Gene: This is really a genre? Nazisploitation? You guys don't see anything wrong with this?
Neil: Oh, yes. God forbid somebody exploits the Nazis.
Gene:That's not what I meant dude...

"There are certain people who believe that Shakespeare's plays are so sophisticated, so erudite, so brain-crapingly good that a middle-class kid from the Boondocks without a University degree couldn't possibly have written them. Why no one suspects the same from degree-less writers Maya Angelou, Truman Capote, Ray Bradbury, Mark Twain and Charles Dickens is anyone's guess. Still, the belief goes that only some one with a vast education and a noble soul could have designed such masterpieces. Shakespeare's too perfect not to be made by a perfect human. It is literary creationism."
