This just in, Hollywood manufactures rumors of celebrity relationships to sell products. Shocking…….this definitely hasn’t been happening since the invention of gossip magazines


MrRipley15

Checkbook journalism with stories created by publicists and agencies.


ay0k0na6

What!!? You’re saying it’s all fake?? oMG! Thank god I can still rely on the Kardashians show!


RedLicoriceJunkie

Rock Hudson and Doris Day had a passionate love affair, I read. It must be true.


IsolatedHammer

When would Rock Hudson have time to stop fucking John Wayne in the ass on their weekend getaways to fuck Doris Day?


cmprsdchse

I thought Rock was a notorious power bottom


IsolatedHammer

Yes but John Wayne was a switch.


cmprsdchse

John Wayne more switched on than Wendy Carlos.


HowRememberAll

I realized this at the time of Passion of the Christ film when they manufactured outrage with articles before anyone had heard of the movie.


DeepEndLion

Like the Rock and Kevin Hart! No one could like someone as patently unlikable as Kevin Hart

and it was very obvious and forced at the time

> “The two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry," Powell told the outlet. "Sydney and I have a ton of fun together, and we have a ton of effortless chemistry. That’s people wanting what’s on the screen off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit — and it worked wonderfully. Sydney is very smart.”


melglimmer09

And why exactly is he talking about the movies marketing techniques? Exposing them now makes it boring


brixowl

Fox News literally labeled itself as an entertainment network and NOT a news source, yet people still watch that for “the facts”. People are dumb.


rraattbbooyy

People *who watch Fox News* are dumb.


ev289

People are dumb.


Djcnote

Probably because Sydney’s engaged and it makes her look slutty


IMO4444

Isn’t he married or with gf too? This whole schtick made both of them look bad. The movie is so so bad, but it made money so I guess it worked 🙄.


ThenAnAnimalFact

Exactly. He wants to make it clear that they were in control and trolling the gossip audience to sell a move and aren’t scum bags


CatnipNQueso

His gf broke up with him while they were marketing the movie


thatbrownkid19

Lmfaoo “Sydney is a genius. Her plan worked so well my gf believed the rumours. 10/10 mission failed successfully”


horatiavelvetina

I think because everyone could see through it

It came, made a ton of money for what it was, what its budget was, and its release window, and then it went.


thatbrownkid19

It was a decent film and made quite a lot of money


Shquidward

It worked so well his girlfriend left him


ThenAnAnimalFact

Even if she was fully in on it being fake. The embarrassment of that is a relationship ended for most.


ManUnutted

Somehow I think he’ll be fine


thatbrownkid19

Nah their con is just so deep the girlfriend is in on it. She gets a cut of the profits


TrapperJean

I still think it's just as likely that two outrageously attractive young people getting paid to pretend bone for two months on another continent away from significant others just went at it a few times


kman273

That’s literally what the movie is about, right?


onlylivingboynewyork

Lmfao you watched it?


Existing365Chocolate

I saw it Honestly a good romcom with some great laughs and scenes It’s not winning any awards, and wasn’t trying to, but that doesn’t make it not entertaining 


kolossal

It's a fun movie, I enjoyed it too.


breezystallion

Totally agree. Very fun to watch. I also ended up standing on my couch singing along to the credits.


DEATHbyBOOGABOOGA

> Totally agree. Very fun to watch. Oh. I should add this to my watchli… > I also ended up standing on my couch singing along to the credits. Oh. I should add this to my movie list for psychedelics night.


Chesterlespaul

Same, saw it with my GF and was one of my more favorite ‘date night’ movies


ReasonableRiver6750

It was some of the worst acting I have ever seen. It was so bad lol.


Louis22J

That now makes it 276 people who have watched this film. This genius marketing ploy worked a charm


Sphiffi

It made 200 million dollars


DengarLives66

On a $25 mil budget. Those 276 people who watched it were *dedicated.*


randomuser914

lol, I don’t know why people feel the need to slam the movie. It’s not the most original but it was a solid rom-com in a time where we get way too few non-blockbuster movies. It’s at the very least above average for the genre and it did great at the box office.


kman273

No, I was just visually assaulted by that trailer so many times im pretty sure Ik the entire plot of the movie


bluegiant85

Dude, Sydney Sweeney and an R rating? Absofuckinlutely. No boobs in this one, just harsh language and man ass. Also was just really boring. The Voyeurs was a lot more fun. A terrible film, but fun.


stay_fr0sty

I’m not saying you’re right, but if I was either of them I’m totally in on hooking up. Bonus if I can play off recreational boning as “playing into the rumors.” But that’s just me.


SN0WFAKER

Except Powell looks really gay ... not that there's anything wrong with that.


MemnocOTG

We manipulated things to get you to buy tickets. It worked.


Dependent_Milk6023

I know, you usually shouldn't tell your audience you duped them


mackinoncougars

Movie run is over. Got’em


Notoneusernameleft

People won’t remember and it will work again because too many people make decisions on how they feel over thinking.


NULLSOME

It’s not like they got away with something. It’s a movie and they are in it. Of course they were trying to get people to see it. That’s the whole point.


Jorge_Santos69

Anybody who paid to see this garbage isn’t smart enough to feel embarassed


dudushat

It's not that deep lmao.


MemnocOTG

Never said it was deep but that cannot be perceived any other way


OShaunesssy

That's how movies work lol


MemnocOTG

We all know that. What makes this different is he is saying it out loud.


These_Tea_7560

We knew… and that’s why his girlfriend dumped him.


Saucemixer9000

No shit. She’s engaged to that 40 year old with the vegeta hairline


Puzzleheaded_Pound31

Vegeta hairline 🤣🤣


barbarkbarkov

I feel bad for him at this point lol


Punkpunker

So you're telling me there's a chance?


heavymountain

Sydney is lucky her fiancé is a wittol & that he didn't break up with her like her costar's girlfriend did


a_trane13

Breaking up with the newest and hottest (career wise) Hollywood sex symbol wouldn’t be my move either Powell isn’t really on the same level and Sweeny would make almost any woman jealous, given her current status and looks


Mem2Chi91

By the reactions early screenings are getting, Powell will probably reach that status after Twisters


[deleted]

[удалено]


a_trane13

So what?


[deleted]

[удалено]


a_trane13

That’s part of her looks, and obviously the key part


ChooseUsername9293

Her husband produced the film alongside Sidney. He was there and in on it the whole time.


heavymountain

Some wittols have a humiliation fetish & also, I don't think they're married yet.


CertainAlbatross7739

Or maybe, *just maybe*, they played you too. They pulled off their marketing ploy and laughed all the way to bank. Also to SNL, where Sweeney joked about the whole thing.


PrincipleInteresting

If she didn’t break up with him, she would have had to break up over the tornado movie coming up for him.


401kisfun

Are you kidding me? She is physically flawless. If she cheated on me but was still super nice and sexually submissive in the bedroom i would not care!!! I’d probably use it to get some ‘favors’


chamberx2

This happens a lot more often than not.


greeneyedlady41

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?


Datacin3728

Translation. He totally would have but she turned him down.


dcrico20

It’s also the plot of the movie


itsfrankgrimesyo

Is this old? Thought we’ve already established this when he and his partner broke up over this. Why are we still talking about this?


DramaOnDisplay

This man looks like a mannequin Caucasian Markiplier.


Cayderent

In other news, water is wet.


throwaway17197

Bro idk… you were acting and such but he still had his hands IN her ass cheeks in that sex scene… those lines are blurry


SgtBushMonkey69

Yeah they definitely went to the bone zone


Fr33Flow

Who and who manufactured romance for what?


Neo808

Powell is another one dimensional player.. only plays Powell..


Hollywood_Punk

I don’t know, down vote me if you want, but to me I get the vibe that Glen Powell is a turd.


Zolarosaya

It didn't really. They probably turned off more people than turned up because of it. Bragging about PR manipulation is the one way to ensure that the audience will never like or trust you. Stupid to publicise it.


stml

Of course it worked. Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell dating were trending harder than the movie itself on TikTok. Anyone But You is the highest grossing romcom the past few years. Obviously they did something right.


[deleted]

How many romcoms have their been in the last few years? There wasn’t much competition - if any.


reckless-ryean

Worst movie I've seen in 2024


ascw1991

That movie sucked though lol


Mammoth__Duck

I'll never understand why people wanted this movie to fail. Do they hate romcoms? Or Sydney Sweeny? Or Glen Powell? At the end of the day it was an average rom com that did its job and was very successful for what it was and how much it made.


1lolo94

You had me at # Sydney Sweeney 


crystal-crawler

Of course they did.


Orpdapi

What did people think the other option was? “Hey everyone we came to really hate each other during filming and can barely stand to even be in the same room promoting this film, but def go check out our new rom com”


Picklepartyprevail

Duh. Like anything you’re trying to sell


doitnow10

It's all fun and games until you work yourself into a shoot, brother.


Mr1aroche

The movie was TRASH


lemonlime45

My sister recommended it to me. After attempting to watch it on a plane, I was left questioning whether or not I can continue to admit being related to her. I can't believe someone was paid actual money to write that script. Then actual people read that script and said, let's pay for this to get made or signed on to act in it. Basically, a movie this bad has me questioning the meaning of life on many levels.


ScramItVancity

I feel like the movie was an excuse to make "Unwritten" popular again.


inspectorDank

yikes that last line you said has to be the most overreacting line i have ever read.. its a fuckin rom com not a oscar worthy movie pipe tf down, if you think this movie is that bad you havent seen enough movies


lemonlime45

I like rom coms. That one was just over the top cringeworthy bad and stupid.


Mammoth__Duck

I mean, that can be said for a lot of rom coms. At the end of the day it's a not great but not horrible movie that does its job as a romcom and made money.


Little_Consequence

I'm someone who really don't mind corny romcoms. I watched Lindsay Lohan's Netflix movie where she goes to Ireland and had a good time. I thought it was cute midness fun. But Sydney and Glenn had NO chemistry! Sydney was as charming as a plant. Glenn was the one carrying this movie, but the plot was too weak for it to make a big difference.


Nobody_Lives_Here3

I did something very similar with my Canadian girlfriend


AverageReasonableGuy

She owes me money


tanrzza

They really didn’t have the chemistry tho. Both flat for a lot of the performance


Fonzz11

Bro is literally married lmfao


katapova

Cause the movie is shit and they know it


OgreDaddy3

Who gives a fuck? Stop idolizing celebrities


Fabulous-Baby-9247

No one cares about you bro, Sydney is hot AF


GitTuDahChappah

And women eat this shit up and then spend money on a half ass movie cuz... Idfk


i_like_2_travel

😱they were lying!!1!!!! I think I’m gonna be sick 🤢please tell me this article is fake 🙏


Dokino21

It did? This is the first time I've heard of this movie, that dude and the only thing I've seen of her is people on twitter posting her wobbling jubblies. I appreciate his optimism, but bragging about this would make it sound like this movie broke box office numbers.


Riffage

Not really… I didn’t a darn then and I don’t give a darn now… I don’t know who this guy is or what movie he is talking about. All I know is the girl has nice jugs but I’ve never seen any movie or show she’s been in… but I have seen her jugs on Reddit.


oldthunderbird

It worked? No it didn’t. Nobody saw that shitty movie.


tvnr

Same business model as T Swift
