In some rather odd news, Rottentomatoes.com has had to shut down the comment section for The Dark Knight Rises because people are sending death threats to reviewers who gave the movie a bad score. How crazy is this?!
Okay, I love Batman movies just as much as anyone, but threatening to kill people because they gave the movie a bad rating is insane. For starters, these fans haven't even seen the movie so they have no idea if it is good or not. Second, different people like different things. Not everyone is going to like the same exact movies, get over it. Third, this unfortunately shows one of the negatives about the internet. People feel anonymous online and say things to others they would never have to courage to say in person. Everyone knows if they said the things they say online to someone in real life, they are going to be eating a punch.
A good general principle is, if you wouldn't say something to someone in person, don't pretend like you are a tough guy online. Just keep it to yourself before you end up in prison for making death threats.
