Bravely Bold Sir Robin. Remarkable how, with the exception of Arthur and the Black Knight, the arms of all the other characters are RoT-compliant. Edit: I would say the Three-Headed Giant breaks tincture rules too, but the main charges stand out well enough so... Tis' but a scratch!
Oct 4, 2019 · For a great explainer on heraldry, check out Terry Jones’ Medieval Lives: The Knights, in which a member of the College of Arms designs a special coat of arms for the Holy Grail director himself. Terry Jones’ custom coat of arms includes a golden python (naturally), his cat holding a feather pen (to symbolize his writing career), and a Life of Brian reference in the latin phrase “Messias ...
In heraldry of the early modern period, use of a boar's head (rather than the entire animal) became a popular device. Siebmachers Wappenbuch (1605) shows a boar in the coat of arms of the Schweinichen noble family. Boars, in whole or in part, feature frequently in British heraldry. While a distinction is sometimes made between the wild animal ...

The rising scores come as Rotten Tomatoes has forged close financial ties with the movie industry. The website, launched in 1998 by three recent Berkeley grads, was purchased by Warner Bros. in 2011. And in 2016, Comcast (which also owns NBCUniversal) acquired a 70 per cent stake through a deal that turned Rotten Tomatoes into a division of the tic...
Meares hasn’t crunched the numbers himself, but speculates that if Tomatometer scores have risen, it may be due to broader shifts in the media industry. “Over the last 20, 15 or even 10 years, the way that criticism has operated in the world has changed.” When Rotten Tomatoes started in the late-1990s, most professional film critics worked as full-...
While movie audiences are growing more diverse, film criticism has long been dominated by white men. Looking at the top 100 films in 2017, a USC Annenberg reportfound that 82 per cent of the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes were written by white critics, and 78 per cent by men. Male critics are consistently more harsh than women when it comes to reviewin...
More critics on the site have meant more movie reviews contributing to each film’s score. The top 10 highest-grossing films in 2009 had an average of 278 reviews per film. By 2019, that number had risen to 445 reviews per film. If you are feeling particularly studious and want to browse the 541 reviews that makeup Avengers: Endgame’s 94 per cent ra...
Global News also looked at average movie review scores for wide releases on Metacritic, a competing online review aggregator, and IMDb, an online database of movie and TV info. Between 2009 and 2019, average Metacritic scores for wide releases, which are out of 100, increased to 56 from 49, or by 7 per cent. In contrast, Rotten Tomatoes scores rose...
Anyone old enough to remember Siskel & Ebert & the Movies can recall how often the two critics used to disagree with each other. Two critics, five opinions, as the old joke goes. Now imagine trying to get upwards of 500 critics to reach a consensus. That’s exactly what the Tomatometer attempts to do. Gorber believes a great deal of nuance is lost w...
- Call Me by Your Name (2002) While not a Netflix Original (which means it's not likely to stay here forever), Call Me by Your Name a fantastic and critically acclaimed film that just recently returned to Netflix.
- The Woman King (2022) The Woman King is based on the impressive and intimidating all-women army of the Agojie tribe, from the Dahomey Kingdom in West Africa.
- Marriage Story (2019) Inspired by the breakup of his own marriage, director/writer Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story is sort of like Kramer vs Kramer for the modern age.
- Da 5 Bloods (2020) Spike Lee doesn’t do half-measures, and he goes all in on Da 5 Bloods. The film focuses on a group of Vietnam vets who return to the country in search of the remains of their fallen squad leader.
Up until the maiming silliness this is also one of the most accurate longsword fights you'll see in a movie. They had an expert in medieval longsword fighting on hand to coordinate. Some things of note are the pommel bashing and half sword techniques where the blade is held.
