Melania - The Doc

[silentkisser]

So, Amazon dropped $40m to buy the rights (and allegedly has spent another $35m to promote) to make a documentary about Melania Trump. Reportedly, she was able to pocket $28m of that money without having an ethical issues. The film is directed by Brett Ratner, and follows 20 days of Melania's life from the build up of the inauguration to the first few days of the new Trump administration. It is apparently being released in theatres across the world...Some analysts expect it will make maybe $1m its opening weekend, though a more optimistic take is maybe $5m.

Now, it wouldn't surprise me if some big Trump ass kisser boosted sales and bought out theatres out to boost the box office. I mean, they've done it before to promote Don Jr. crappy book and vault it to a NYT best seller. But, what an embarrassment this will be. You know it'll be bad when the studio isn't allowing critic screenings.

I think they should a Kamala documentary...You know 20 days before the election.
Just to balance things out.

But Kamala was an actual candidate and Melania is a parasitical hanger-on. That's the actual punchline.

Plus the fact that Bezos is throwing a $40M bribe at Trump.

More reviews...

"I just saw the Melania movie and one thing I don’t understand is why she wanted to steal all those Dalmatians."

Abraham Lincoln said watching “Melania” was the worst experience he’s ever had in a theatre.

You know, the GOP and right-wing media lost their minds over Hunter's painting. Yet, they seem totally fine with the Trump family grifting at an unimaginably larger scale. I mean, Hunter sold $1.5M in paintings, but only got 60% (the gallery got the other 40%). Melania got $28M for this puff piece that will make nowhere as much as they spent on it. And, let's not forget Trump's other grifts that have made his family $1.6B more wealthy.

It would really be nice to see consistency from the right in these situations. But, we know they hypocrisy is strong with them.

The social media posts on the film have been amazing.
But I kind of like this one, trump is so far gone he can't even remember what country she is from

Jeff Bezos has his knees on his ears, he shouldn't be surprised to have sburra on his face.

That could actually be an interesting documentary, honestly.
Especially if they had a lot of behind the scenes footage.

Who is they?
Both are really bad ideas. Who cares. Malenia is good looking but that's where it ends - assuming it isn't R-rated

Maybe its because she is always in bitch-face mode- I find her as unattractive as it gets. As they love to say at comedy roasts, I wouldn't fuck her with someone elses' penis.
