Will the Razzies have the balls to torch this shit next year?

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.

It’s a success for Amazon because the bribe happened. They don’t care if the movie is a hot wet fart.

Oh yeah?

‘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.”

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

LOL, wut. This is some real North Korean State Television style bullshit.

As long as they score viewership like they do golf, then she wins by a landslide.

I’m just surprised they haven’t tried to pull what they did for The Acolyte when it comes to Rotten Tomatoes having some set of “blessed” critics giving it high ratings even as everyone else is giving it one star.

I remember seeing all the drama around it and not having watched anything Star Wars in a long time, I thought I’d try to see if it was just anti-woke dumbasses being butthurt about having their “childhood ruined” or being “anti cishhet white male” or whatever the fuck those snowflakes are always crying about.

Nope, it was simply not good. Sure, the wingnut bros were brigading it because they hated the creator and the main actress and their politics, but I couldn’t even finish the whole season. I kept putting it on later at night and literally falling asleep. I’d go back to where I fell asleep and try to pick it up later and would fall asleep again. I tried to watch during the day and give it my full attention, but found myself starting to use my phone again. Turns out the far right douchebros were actually right about a thing. I really tried to give it the old college try, but it was just not something I could even finish.

The same thing happened with more recent Doctor Who. It’s almost like Disney or whoever is purposefully making total shit under the banner of representation in order to cause a blowback? I don’t know how things so stupid got released. It almost seems like intentional sabotage.

Anyway, Melania and Donvict must be both in such a narcissistic bubble that they thought this would work? I think I heard on Pod Save America that everyone would have been less embarrassed here (Bezos, Melania, Donvict) if Amazon had just cut him a check openly as a bribe, or bought into his crypto scam or whatever.

I wonder if any of those involved believed that people would go see this in enough numbers to make all that money back? I cannot imagine trying to put on a front about something like this even as it seems to be failing like Gigli…
