cool. release the files
I would like to see documentaty about making documentary Melania filmed with some hidden camera. Knowing how US government operates, such a footage exist in Israel and in Russia.
Must be good
The fact that it made $7 million just shows people are fucking dumb and will watch any trash you put in front of them, and they’ll pay to do it.
Or that Amazon paid £6.5m to seat-fillers.
They said that reviewers had to buy their own tickets, instead of the free tickets or previews that they usually get. One reviewer in New York said there were 5 people in his audience and at least two of the others were also reviewers.
“This momentum is an important first step in what we see as a long-tail lifecycle for both the film and the forthcoming docuseries […] The First Lady previously announced a spin-off series for her documentary, which she said was coming in a “few months.”
Oh God, they’re making a series!
First off, blatant bribe here. Secondly, I’m guessing, from Melania’s perspective, this is her trying to set herself up for a relevant and glamorous life once her husband dies (you know he won’t have left her much, if anything). And even if she doesn’t make it into Hollywood, it at least gets her some of her own money.
a long-tail lifecycle
In other words, they’ve lost money on it so far.
I hope she ends up like Mussolini’s girlfriend because that’s the end she deserves
I can’t help but wonder - does she really actually believe it’s some kind of success and that the world is actually interested in her?
Or, does she know it’s just the cover for a bribe and the reports of it’s success are just noise.
I don’t know anything about her (and don’t care to), but it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if she is vastly more intelligent than Trump and has a much better handle on how the world works.
Melania likely doesn’t care how her documentary is received by critics and the public. This is a woman who has been the butt of countless jokes for a decade because she’s married to one of the most hated people in the world. I’m sure she understands that all the money Amazon is dumping into this shitshow of a documentary is a bribe, and she’s all for it because it adds to her wealth.
She doesn’t strike me as particularly intelligent either. A more intelligent person would use their voice as First Lady to advance whatever they’re passionate about, but she’s done almost nothing like that.
it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if she is vastly more intelligent than Trump and has a much better handle on how the world works.
Yeah, but that’s not a high bar to clear. I was on the bus and heard a 5 year old yell out “ICE IS A BAG OF POOP!!!”
I’d say that kid has a solid handle on life, and meets the requirements to clear your bar.
with early box office for Melania exceeding our expectations
I do believe even one ticket sold exceeds their expectations
Also: anyone with a Prime subscription, congrats on finding Anazons’s bribe.
For anyone wondering why trump suddenly wants a new Rush Hour movie:
The film was directed by Brett Ratner, the Rush Hour director who has largely been absent from Hollywood following sexual misconduct allegations made against him in 2017. More than a dozen photographs of Ratner with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and unnamed women also surfaced in a tranche of documents from the Department of Justice on Friday.
That use of “Women” to describe the girls he rape is fucking sickening.
Exactly, it’s subtle downplaying of what these people have done. “Women” implies that the victims were adults. Most of them were CHILDREN.
While I think it’s the right thing to block out the faces of the women in all the Epstein photographs, I think it diminishes the impact they have. Without the victims faces in them it’s a lot easier for people to brush them off as “women” and for the media to push that narrative.
‘Scowling Void of Pure Nothingness’: Critics Destroy $75 Million Melania Trump Documentary | Common Dreams
One particularly brutal review came from Nick Hilton, film critic for the Independent, who said that the first lady came off in the film as “a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness” who leads a “vulgar, gilded lifestyle.”
Hilton added that the film is so terrible that it fails even at being effective propaganda and is likely to be remembered as “a striking artifact… of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly.”
LOL, wut. This is some real North Korean State Television style bullshit.
2017 on his first day as president, he was scheduled to call the prime minister of Austrailia.
It’s typically a nothing call. Usually short, basically just “Hi, I’m the new president of America. You’re our ally. Happy to talk, ok, buh-bye now.”
And he’s supposed to do like 20 of those calls on his first day.
Upon talking, he IMMEDIATELY changed the tone to hostile and aggressive, and ended the call by saying “NO NO, IN THIS LIFE IT’S AMERICA FIRST, AND YOU NEVER, FUCKHEAD!” before slamming the phone. I forget the full quote the prime minister said to the media, but it was something along the lines of “I don’t know what that phone call was. I was prepared to invite him for a presidential tour and meeting here, as is customary, and expected to be invited to America for him to give me a tour of America. Then he got pushy, and now I’m saved a 16 hour flight, but worry for Americas future if that’s who they elected”.
Remember, that was the day after inauguration. First day on the job, and our ally was (rightfully) worried about our future.
Within a week trump had met with North Koreas dictator, and trump was interviewed as saying “Now THATS a leader! That’s someone who’s respected. I want that for America. How do I get that gig?”
Again. Talking about Kim Jong Ill.
More trench coat and way, way more medals 😉
And every medal has a FIFA logo on it.
GÖOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLEuh!
Is Donvict going to find a way to put that stolen Nobel Peace Prize on his chest? I’m trying to think of all the participation trophies he might dream up to give himself.
The first row is just Nobel’s, the second row is just those little Monopoly stickers from all the chezburgurz 😉
Nonsense. North Korean movies have famously been pretty good.
I’m thrilled to hear it was a success.
I am equally thrilled to hear that they will be paying taxes on its success instead of getting a credit from its failure.
That’s happening, right? /s
Ever seen ‘the producers’? She pocketed a ton of money from the film it’s just another income.
Naked bribery
It’s a success for Amazon because the bribe happened. They don’t care if the movie is a hot wet fart.
Oooooh, trump had to cancel a press event today because one of those!
By issuing a free copy to all the employees laid off this week and crediting it as unemployment assistance on the books….?
I’m 😵
