    To be fair, it sure seems to be a pattern that the most anti-consumer, limited crap usually wins these battles. Look at Apple.

    Maybe it’s Sweeney’s personal unlikeability that makes the difference here.

      God she’s just not likeable. I’ll admit that she was great in White Lotus, but it’s because she was seemingly just playing herself! She did a great job at being an unlikable brat!

      We just watched “Anyone but you” as a joke, and man what a shit job she did. Ironically she did really great at the beginning of the movie, by the end it was just a trainwreck. Funny enough, I also dislike Glenn Powell, but that movie made me like him more. It was a shit script and he honestly did a pretty good job with it. While there are many better than him, it does take talent to take a shit script and try to make something of it.

      But I mean, her boobs were nice in it. So I guess that’s enough for Hollywood to say that it was in fact a movie.
