Pauline is funded by the same people (russia via the NRA) so probably. I just can't see them going to the cinema. Probably a good option if youre looking for 2 hours of air-conditioning and dont want to be around other people
Fake quote. Variety have not reviewed Melania (when that tweet was posted, they hadn't written about it at all) and the quote is originally from a YouTube comment under the trailer for Snow White (2025).
I just checked my local Regal. In 4 showings on Friday, only 3 seats have been sold, all for the same showing. It's really odd, because while 2 of them are together, the third is right behind them. So, like is the single there to ruin the experience for the pair?
My local one always has the same two seats sold for every show. Just as part of the system maybe its a reserve for some reason but I always notice it and have never seen anyone in them.

Writing for a College Newspaper we did reviews of movies. One of my friends Chris wrote a review of Sylvester Stallone's movie over the top. It is review he wrote over the top is a pile of slop the world won't meet you halfway, and neither will this movie.
Someone basically posted an image macro with a ton of fake reviews from real critics; I'm assuming someone thought that was real and pulled this one from that. I don't think it's real, no.
The woman has all the charm and personality of a damp paper bag frozen to the sidewalk. Personally I'd rather eat a whole bus tire than watch a documentary about her.
It's actually a whole thing - though usually it's a director or screenwriter will have their names removed to protest meddling in their works, either declaring the work can't be considered theirs anymore or fear it'd hurt their career to be associated with it.
(SGA used to use 'Alan Smithee' for that until someone tried to make a comedy over the concept - Alan Smithee alias and it's purpose was brought to public awareness, and the film was SO bad, they retired the use of that specific name).
Unfortunately, I'd venture these are fake reviews. I just checked RobertEbert.com and Rotten Tomatoes: Rotton Tomatoes does not have any reviews, and RogerEbert.com doesn't even list it
Roger Ebert is a moron and only attacks movies that won't fight back. My favorite is his review of Gentlemen Broncos, "I didn't understand Napoleon Dynamite and I don't understand this" proving he is incapable of understanding a story. From the same folks as Napoleon Dynamite but it's a far sweeter story with Stifler's mom being the hero in the end.
And? You do know that Roger Ebert has been dead for almost 13 years, right? It's not him doing the reviews anymore; it's his successors that took over the brand after his death doing it now
Telling lies when there are SO MANY TRUTHS that are way worse is not only stupid, but its short sighted. If they can prove one thing you said is a lie, then they can use that to weaken every other thing you say. Misinformation ONLY hurts the stuff you are fighting for. Pick a page from the epstien files and make a post about that.
I think Melania's an interesting figure for discussion - just not in *this* way. She's interesting as first lady in a fascist government, in the most misogynist era of the 21st century, and as a white immigrant during a racially pointed anti-immigration movement.
Each first lady (and how we treat them) says a lot about us and about the presidency. For ex the misogynoir for Michelle was a canary in the coal mine.
Alice Capelle is preparing a vid essay on Mlnia and I'm looking forward to it tbh.
Money laundering. I doubt Melania even wanted to do this. She has far more money than she'll ever need. But her husband is obsessed with money and image... thinking this would glorify Melania and boost his own image.
I mean I know it's not legitimate but I can't even fathom why you would fake a UK release. The number of people who care about the FLOTUS inside the US is low enough but who gives a flying $@#$ about another country's president's wife? That's the kind of thing that maybe if it were a huge hit in the US you might have a single specialty showing of overseas not a nation wide launch. And I've watched a lot of really weird and crappy niche one off movies that 99% of the population didn't like.
sadly there are Magats aboard who think the first escort is a class lady compared (redacted racial epithets for Michelle Obama), but yeah, not enough to justify sending it overseas.
It’s a grift. It’s always a grift. Amazon paid like $40 Million to make it. Melania gets paid $30 million. Even if it only makes a million at the box office (which is generous) Amazon gets to kiss Trump’s ass and Melania gets her pay day
Goebbels was highly intelligent and really fucking dangerous. We should be thankful that the orange cockwomble doesn't have that Nazi at their disposal.
They hoped people’s hatred or love for her would be enough to get them to watch the film but they were wrong. People don’t hate her enough to spend money to see something about her to point fun at. Nobody seems to actually give a crap about her except Russians
also nowdays if you have someone your not going to pay to watch the movie. you wait 1-2 weeks get the pirated copy whit out the FBI copyright warning that takes for ever to get past and the you wouldn´t download a car whit Copyright infringed music playing.
well about $70-80mil is what Amazon will pay once you factor in the marketing and distribution costs, but still.
also Minecraft movie is a poor comparsion is that's a CGI-fest with big name stars so that's always going to jump the price. $40mil is reasonable for a biopic - given Song Sung Blue was $30million
$30m was how much Song Sung Blue cost to make, including the rights. Take that against $40m for just the rights.
The reason the Minecraft movie is a good comparison is because that should be many times more more expensive than a documentary - not a biopic - covering three weeks of time.

Precisely this. A documentary no one cares about and no one will watch that Amazon paid $40m to get the rights to.
