'Scowling Void of Pure Nothingness': Critics Destroy $75 Million Melania Trump Documentary | Common Dreams

Coincidentally, Ratner just got greenlit for Rush Hour 4, which had been in development hell since 2018.

Even so, they had a massive budget, a competent director, and they didn't manage to produce something that paints her in a good light.

I don't understand the spending of millions on marketing.

The film industry is just one massive money laundering scheme.

ew her nails

$75m bribe*

The 28 was just the advertising part iirc.

That head would look great on a pike outside the city walls.

Honestly I am shaken, if something this good could fail what is the meaning of anything?

I love Canada, but this holier than thou mindset I keep seeing is getting tired. Remember Poilievre was polling ~20 points higher than Carney, until Trump started his 51st state horse shit. The entire world seems to be swinging right, and Canada just got lucky this time.

We are all in this together whether you want to be or not.

Not with these democrats and these dumb motherfuckers still trust them. They are quite vicious about it too.

i assume some kind of hollywood accounting where they can write the unprofitable movie off their taxes

We'll finally get to see "Hitler on ICE"

the same way the Trump family obtains most things they want, fraud.

The only people that would go see this are Trump cultists, who are going to approve of it regardless of quality

Because the only people who'd ever see it are either members of the cult or reviewers being paid to see it.

1% of the audience being reviewers and the rest deciding that it's amazing before seeing it and not changing their mind when proven wrong sounds pretty plausible 🤷

They might be filtering out the deluge of bad reviews as anomaly or political.

Selection/volunteer bias, no one who would give it a bad review would pay to see it

Beep boop.

No, insulting is absolutely worthwhile, do you think their goal was to get universal scorn?

It's not review bombing if it actually sucks

Because it's their job? They can't just watch what they like.

They don't pay to go see it. They get paid to see it.

To dunk on it obvs

I wouldnt insult soccer moms like that, but I see what u saying.

Way worse. Those vapid all american soccer moms have that MILF next door vibe, Melania just looks like an Eastern European prostitute possessed by a lizard.

She looks like every soccer mom in every suburban town everywhere

More like every self employed sex therapist hanging around hotel bars.

The bribes for "access".

I read somewhere that about $24 million of it went straight to Melania.

I mean, both are cult propaganda written by and for deranged members of the cult.

I guess the Mango Mussolini cult is just two and a half times as popular as the Tom Cruise cult 🤷

War Of The Worlds probably got MAGAed for having a Black protagonist.

You cannot fast travel to Epstein Island.

We need to give her more money! That'll teach trump a lesson!

This has to be propaganda

Its official budget was $40 million (presumably before marketing), so I'm not sure that this can be called a hit on an $8 million box office

Just for giggles I checked my local theater yesterday afternoon. There were 6 seats purchased for the 6:30 show, and, as of 9:15, none for the 9:30 showing. On a Saturday night.

I wonder if it's like book sales, where a publisher or other entity buys a ton of copies to make it a "Best-seller". Are the seats being filled, or are the tickets just bought out to make it appear more successful?

Or Elena Ceausescu.
