          They’re really not. It’s just now being released in a theater. Not only that but it was paid for by Jeff bezos and Amazon. So why in the world would you think that they’re streaming it on Netflix? When in all reality it’s going to be streamed on prime video and not watched by a single person except for bots trying to raise the view count.

    I dunno how you get a whole movie out of her story. What is there to tell?

    • Eastern European model

    • Sleeps her way into the family of a rich asshole

    • Has baby to secure long term seat at the dinner table

    • The end

    That’s a story everyone has seen play out 1000 times already.

    Amazon didn’t care if it lost money. They gave 25 million for the rights to melanias story right to trump. A legal payout. So they spent a few more million on a failed movie.bribe was payed

    What the fuck is possibly the content of this movie?

    How to pretend to have a headache so you don’t have to sit on the mushroom again?

    Melania’s early career as a queer-baiting wannabe porn star?

    The story of the first mail order bride to become first lady?

    The story of the last occupant of the East Wing?

    Where to find Dick Tracey’s haberdasher?

        Oh she did, I’m referring to various things in this post but yeah she did some queer-baiting photo shoots as a model.

        No shame in being gay or even being “gay for pay” or a sex worker or any of these but she and her husband are vile, trashy hypocrites and are trying to dismantle rights for LGBTQ+ people. So, I think it’s worthy of ridicule.

    Why would someone be humiliated that their money laundering scheme is laundering money?

    You people don’t honestly believe she gives a shit, right? And you certainly must recognize this movie as just being a grift, and that it wasn’t made with the intention or expectation of being successful, right?

    Please tell me you all aren’t that fucking blind.

      I also believe that above all else, this was a money laundering scheme.

      That being said, I feel like there was a part of her that was hoping this documentary about her life would be revered as incredibly interesting and a work of art. Like, single digit ticket sales is incredibly bad… I don’t care who you are - that’s gotta sting. And that’s hilarious.

      I read she made $30M from the film - that’s pretty shockingly obscene compared to all the big tech innaguration bribes - of “only” $1M.

      No shortage of Chuds who were horny for Eva Braun. But I’ve seen far more slashfic of Sarah Palin than Melania, even now.

      Idk what it is about this generation of MAGA, but they’re way less into jerking it to their (female) fascist overlords than they were 16 years ago.

        I won’t ask. I was of the generation that still had drive-in movies, and if I did some extra work on the house, my dad would lend me his late-50s Cadillac, with a back seat the size of a double bed. Cinemas were a distant second-best. The only challenges were keeping the seat clean and dissipating the smell of pot smoke.

      Have you noticed that Melania has no displayed star rating or reviews. Has any movie had those things hidden before?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
