Would it be possible, for future BD release threads, to also include the Rotten Tomato rating? Or some sort of rating...
Unfortunately, Rotten Tomato and HDD are blocked at my work. :(

I usually include a IMDB score if it is really high or really low, but average movies I leave it out.

I think this is a good idea. Blu-ray.com does movie reviews but they should be confining their opinion to the picture, sound and features and not the movie. At the end of the review there should be the movie score and a separate disk score.
At the moment they munge all the scores together into one and compound the issue by not scoring any movie less than 2.5 out of 5.0. Blu Ray might be great and all, but a bad movie is still a bad movie no matter how many pixels you throw at the screen.
It totally skews the results. Using RT or IMDB's movie rating and keeping it separate from the disk rating would solve this issue and make the reviews far more trustworthy.
