I believe this may just be a bug in the OMDb API. But I am hoping that someone can point out the errors in my ways.
I am trying to include the Rotten Tomatoes Ratings in a output. But no matter what options I try I don't get anything.
curl http://www.omdbapi.com/?t=Iron+Man&y=&plot=short&tomatoes=true&r=json
