Bless you, @hunter . I do hope Josh has instituted some sort of hazard pay when you guys have to sit through these things. Or perhaps he picked up a neuralizer to clear your memory once the article is written.
I’m not sure what theater you viewed it in, but your experience seems remarkably similar to what happened in the DC Regal Cinema
In Washington, DC, the first showing of the day — 11:30 a.m. ET at Regal Gallery Place downtown — was about one-third filled, and almost everyone in the theater was a reporter. Representatives of NPR, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Atlantic were among those in the room.
Before the previews began, a male reporter called out, “Is everyone a journalist here?”
A chorus of replies came from across the room: “Here.” “Here.” “Here.”
“Any civilians?” the man asked.
“I’m a civilian,” said one woman, who added that she was there with a journalist friend.

A reporter yells out to outgoing President, Joe Biden
“Will America survive?”
A potential (snarky) reply: “Up to you now. Not my problem.”
Of course, old, decrepit, and possibly as demented as Biden was, he’s still both polite and decent.

At the screening I attended on Friday morning, there were twelve attendees. All but two of them were journalists.
Hah!

Headline you see when you link to the article:
From empty theaters to packed houses, response to Melania Trump documentary reflects America’s political division
The “packed houses” refer to theaters in rural areas that hold around 100 people.

It’s worth noting that Barron, who is tall, is taking English lessons in an attempt to lose his Slovenian accent. You know, like every other average American kid.

Triumph of the Will → Melania
History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce, Marx.

As Velshi said this morning, let your pocketbook do the talking. Boycott Amazon and the corporate enablers who want to be “neutral”.

Having a movie was just a smokescreen. It was protection money from Bezos to Melania and Trump. Nothing more; nothing less. She obviously spent no time on this ridiculous thing according to the descriptions of the movie. And apparently even the MAGATS can’t be bothered to watch it. She is a complete dullard whose only talents seems to be shopping for truly ugly clothing with a fascist flair and SM flavored shoes and an ability to be eye candy for a homely crook and con artist with a lot of money and the ability to extract it everywhere he turns. Any normal and intelligent woman would have left him in an instant. But then again she likes being paid to be his “wife”.

Someone referred to the director, Brett Ratner, as an “idiot Leni Riefenstahl.” I guess we can call this “Triumph of the Shill.”

It is all about Melania getting her cut of the $$$. She is as bad as her husband.,.
You deserve a bonus for enduring this scholck.

You want to know where Bezos didn’t make an appearance, silent or otherwise? The premier of the “movie.”
I suspect he was too busy negotiating with ICE/DHS for more Cloud storage.

I felt gross just reading the review, so I skimmed to the end. Great writing, of course, but the subject sucks. Reminds me to completely deactivate my Amazon account, however.

So, what’s the message here: You all have to endure Dear Leader’s misrule so people like Melania and the cabinet can lead the life?

What? He never conversed with the kids he went/goes to school with for K-14? A youtube video claims his accent is all gone now, but it seems to be based on his utterances at Dad’s inauguration where he can be heard saying “good to meet you” over and over.

Melania “helped produce” this very obvious and illegal bribe in the same sense that she produced the contents of her weekly bowel movement.

To me it’s like the old Ma Bell -she doesn’t care and she doesn’t have to. As long as she gets to live a life of luxury is all that matters. It’s the themes of black and white or gold and whatever not health care, child nutrition, literacy, affordable anything, humane immigration policy, executing people in broad daylight with witnesses. None of that matters to Melania or the billionaires who pull the strings. Keeping her happy, keeps Trump happy.
