Full of country goodness and green pea-ness. Wait, that’s terrible. I quit!

Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane, lauded as one of the greatest films ever made, has dropped from 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes to 99%. The change comes from the addition, sometime between February 25th and April 15th of this year, of a single 80-year-old negative review by the Chicago Tribune’s Mae Tinée, a pseudonym used at the time by the paper’s critics.

“It’s interesting. It’s different. In fact, it’s bizarre enough to become a museum piece. But its sacrifice of simplicity to eccentricity robs it of distinction and general entertainment value.”

The addition of the review was caught by Twitter user @Caulimovirus:

Well, Citizen Kane has been dethroned, and is no longer a 100% Fresh film. But it has gone to a better place; a place filled with Mrs. Pell’s Fish Sticks. *mmmph mamph* Yes! Oh yes! They’re even better when you’re not fresh!
