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 think we can officially conclude 2026 is The Year Of The Scowling Void Of Pure Nothingness

No. the 28M was for her per reporting. They still had to make the movie and advertise it.

Why did they have to advertise it?

This is becoming the new word that people just seem unable to get right and it is just as easy to understand as all the other common ones. It's seriously like there's a conscious campaign to make more and more people forget more and more basic words and grammar, and most of those that make those mistakes are American. You gotta be so dumb to not get this right.

I'm still flabbergasted how often people misspell "Epstein". Like, bruh, at this point...

What does that mean? I remember something on it's always sunny about that. I presume it's a smiting.

You know. Like that, almost laugh thing you do when something is just. Barely, funny enough.

Personally. I'm hoping when we fly these wax wings all the way to the sun and everything works out so great that a true artist and historian team up to make a mockumentary about the "Melania" production.

You have to sell the con or else someone might catch on.

Who makes a movie and then doesn't advertise it? Only fake movie and this is definitely not a fake movie. 😉😉
