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

That's also an accurate description of narcissism—a void of nothingness. Those people only live on the outside, because they don't exist within themselves

Why would movie critics go to see a money laundering attempt?

[-] Nikelui@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Because it's their job? They can't just watch what they like.

[-] Aljernon@lemmy.today -5 points 6 days ago

It's a movie critics job to launder money?

[-] Nikelui@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

No, the director is laundering money. The movie critic is the one stuck watching the crappy movies.

[-] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

They don't pay to go see it. They get paid to see it.

To dunk on it obvs

It was just a 75mil payment from Amazon to trump. Movie was just the means to do the transaction.

[-] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 6 days ago

The film industry is just one massive money laundering scheme.

Coincidentally, Ratner just got greenlit for Rush Hour 4, which had been in development hell since 2018.

I hate that our country has become so fascist that this dumb bitch's movie failing feels like a victory.

Honestly I am shaken, if something this good could fail what is the meaning of anything?

[-] systemglitch@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

I wish it was nothing, but for Canadians, America is a big scowling dictatorship of pure evil.

Take your fucking country back.

I love that this quote applies to both the movie and the actual person.

The old story. Churches and other MAGA groups are buying blocks of seats. It's playing to "sold out" empty houses.

[-] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

At least Eva Braun was interesting.

Mel brooks should do a Producers about Maga. Too soon?

We'll finally get to see "Hitler on ICE"

Can someone explain to me how this movie has a 99% user rating on rotten tomatoes?

[-] archonet@lemy.lol 33 points 1 week ago

the same way the Trump family obtains most things they want, fraud.

[-] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

These dumb shits don't get it. It was never supposed to be good. It was a bribe. Even wasting a second watching it to do a review is a waste of human effort.

[-] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

No, insulting is absolutely worthwhile, do you think their goal was to get universal scorn?

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 week ago

Nick Hilton... said that the first lady came off in the film as “a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness” who leads a “vulgar, gilded lifestyle.”

He's saying it's accurate then?

[-] YoiksAndAway@piefed.zip 15 points 1 week ago

Currently on Rotten Tomatoes:

%11 Critics
%99 Audience

What's the point in review-bombing when it's so obvious?

Remember when people tried to frame her as a victim? What stank of a person.

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

There’s no way this thing cost $75 mil to make. It’s a documentary.

The funniest thing about this is she isn't even hot. She looks like every soccer mom in every suburban town everywhere.

[-] tomiant@piefed.social 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Way worse. Those vapid all american soccer moms have that MILF next door vibe, Melania just looks like an Eastern European prostitute possessed by a lizard.
