Comment on Watch Out Hollywood, Rotten Tomatoes Is Adding “Hot” Movies to Its “Fresh” Rankings
andrew_s@piefed.social 2 months agoThis feels wrong - a tomato can't be both 'fresh' and 'stale' - they're the opposite of one another! If 'good audience score' is 'hot', then 'bad audience score' should be 'cold' surely.

Good point there.
I think it’s a reference to the symbols on the website - fresh tomatoes + hot popcorn, and rotten tomatoes + stale popcorn.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks.
