MASSIVE BOMB - Anyone But You (2023) Discussion

[–] blue1981 (7735) a year ago

I think it could be a modest hit and I mean that in a good way. Hollywood doesn't put out many rom coms and this looks like a lower to mid range budgeted movie that Hollywood needs to start making again. As for the stars I don't know the actress but Glen Powell was Hangman in Top Gun Maverick. You can't make the next generation of movie stars unless they get their break in the business. It's nice to see some fresh faces in movies.

Hey, this turned out to be a pretty good prediction.

I didn't think it was perfect but I thought it was enjoyable for what it was trying to do as a Rom Com. Now Hollywood get back to making Rom Coms again.

Yeah. I wasn't blown away by ABY, but if it's financial success is what's required to break the stranglehold that superhero movies/entertainment designed for 1st graders has had on US cinema since 2016, I'll celebrate without hesitation

I love Sydney Sweeney's massive bombs.

I wouldn't bother to see this movie then- she somehow manages to stay fully clothed for once, despite her history, and despite a lot of nudity from the rest of the cast.

Not sure what you saw but I saw a shower scene that showed quite some skin. On top of that several scenes of her in bikinis and underwear.

reply

[–] jaredjenky (59) a year ago

Brief sideboob and bikinis is nothing compared to what she's done before. Perhaps the "fully clothed" comment was a bit too far, though.

I agree. 🍆💦😍

Not easy being Glen Powell in a business that will go out of their way to omit using white guys in their productions!
If this fails he may have a hard time surviving Hollywood.

He looks like he should be in films like Fast & Furious or some team-up action film. Unfortunately, you're correct insofar that Hollywood only uses straight White males as evil foils, douchebags, and occasional eye-candy. There are those like John Cena, but he hasn't made one masculine action film his entire career after 12 Rounds. They basically use his masculinity as the brunt of jokes in almost all his more recent projects. Sad times.

I agree completely! White men are only cast as evil foils. The following actors therefore are NOT white:

Chris Evans
Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Gosling
Brad Pitt
Leonardo Dicaprio
Tom Holland

Jesus, SUCH a shortage of white men in leading roles in Hollywood.

As someone who loves the rom com genre, I will not watch this. And why? Because I find Sydney Sweeney ugly and unlikeable. There is something wrong about her face. So no I'll not support her projects. Cast someone else!

reply

[–] Guitar King (4890) a year ago

With a body like that, why the hell would anybody care about the face?

reply

[–] leader (1959) a year ago

It's like she has an overbite that was poorly corrected, IDK how to explain it...her mouth is disconcerningly big and it gives her this evil hyena-like look

[–] VanZan (903) a year ago

Da fuck is wrong with you?

reply

[–] cyguration (3951) a year ago

He's not wrong.

Plus she has the body of a 6/10, maybe at best a 7/10.

I have no idea why you Millennials and Gen-Z'ers are so fixated on women who aren't that hot. Now Demi Moore, Audrey Hepburn, Cindy Crawford, Barbi Benton, Jane Fonda, Faye Dunaway, and Jennifer Connelly in their heyday were all drop-dead 10/10 gorgeous.

They're not into it because sex scares them.
They're spineless, and confused and their women use tinder for "donations", because their men fear sex.

reply

[–] cyguration (3951) 9 months ago

This is a sad truth right here. When 66% of men are not in relationships or not seeking relationships or haven't had sex in more than a year in both the U.S., and U.K., it spells a very gloomy future ahead for the generations to come.

reply

[–] 123Guy (7259) 9 months ago

but, this is what they all want, right? because.. you know... the "OLD WAYS" were garbage and don't work.

except, they do, and no one lives confused.
oh well. I and friends are enjoying our lives. :D

reply

[–] Keelai (34858) 3 months ago

I agree with you about Sweeney and I'll add that Powell is ugly, too = ugliest movie couple.

But, they were funny. I watched anyway. It's an entertaining, lighthearted film. Amazing scenery makes me want to move to Australia.

[–] bobbydallas (8511) a year ago

anyone see it?
looks kinda funny

[–] blue1981 (7735) a year ago

I still want to see it but haven't done it yet. If I can't see it in theaters I'll blind buy the bluray.
