Eddington made people mad. After the Hunt is going to make people mad. People are already mad about Wuthering Heights and it's not even out until Valentine's Day 2026. Even if it's not the original intention, is being infuriating the best way to get people interested in your movie again? Does it work?
The way people react to movies online is, I feel like, a sign of the times: there's hype, then there's anger, then there's a movement of people advocating that the rage-inducing movies are actually good.
As a marketing expert or a pop culture expert, why do you think this is? A reflection of how things are now? The result of so much conversation being facilitated by algorithm-based social media sites that reward heavy emotions? The result of ongoing culture wars? Let me know what you think!

You've probably seen the viral videos of the artist Role Model, who brings out a different celeb/member of the crowd at his shows to dance with him while he performs "Sally When the Wine Runs Out." Would love a comment from an expert - can be very brief! - about why it benefits both him and his "Sally" for these stunts to continuously go viral.
We've seen major stars like Natalie Portman and Kate Hudson be Sally, as well as (sometimes smaller?) pop acts like Conan Gray, Griff, Ashe and Renee Rapp. I assume he will be doing it on SNL this weekend! Let me know your thoughts, thanks!
