The worst movie of all time

[Stalin]

who is stupid enough to invest their hard-earned cash into this biopic about a former "escort" who has done nothing of note, except
marry the malignant narcissus

77 million gullible and easily fooled people for a start

The unambiguous star of this weekend’s Trump-approved documentary is right there in the title: Melania. It’s coming to 1,500 theaters this weekend from Amazon/MGM.

Relatively few documentaries receive a wide release (though Melania is going out in about half as many theaters as last weekend’s Amazon release, the Chris Pratt vehicle Mercy), so comparison points are relatively few. Box office predictions generally place the movie well under Moore’s unlikely high-water mark for the form. Some are guessing the opening weekend will pull in about $1m, which would comfortably keep it off the list of the worst wide openings of all time (the record low for a new release in around 1,500 theaters is about $330,000) but would nonetheless qualify it as a bomb. Others estimate that it will go as high as $5m, putting it in line with rightwing docs like Am I Racist?, the highest-grossing documentary of 2024, which ended its run with $12m. As the Hollywood Reporter points out, technically inching ahead of Am I Racist? and the recent faith-based After Death would boast the biggest non-music launch for a documentary of the past decade.

But no one paid $40m to acquire Am I Racist? – or an additional $35m to market it. That’s how much Amazon has poured into Melania – remarkably, the most the deep-pocketed company has ever paid to secure distribution of a single film. This is seemingly the result of a post-election bidding war when corporate panic over matching a seeming rightward turn in the populace was at its peak.

Are people really going to see Amazon’s $75m Melania documentary?

This weekend sees the release of a controversially funded film about the first lady, directed by a disgraced film-maker

the correct way to view this potential bomb is as a bribe..

I haven't seen the movie, but I have heard a lot of criticisms from those prone to criticizing everything, including good things.

 

[Gabriel_Bell]

Whether a film is a good one or a bad one depends on technical expertise as well as the intent of what the director and others wanted the film to display.

A film can have the prime goal of amusing the audience. The goal is in that case to avoid boredom.

A film can also have the goal of advocating for a specific belief. Al Gore's film was really a very effective documentary, because it attracted a larger audience than any previous documentary and earned a lot of money and awards It was clearly a superior documentary, and I am sure more people will watch it than will watch Melania's puff piece. I have already heard that at no point will Melania show her nipples or her pussy. So forget any prurient excitement.

The worst film from both points of view is probably Plan Nine from Outer Space, which had technical flaws so bad that the audience could not follow the plot. Of course, there was also a film (Empire,1965) made by Andy Warhol that focused on the same place for 8½ hour of silent slow motion footage of the Empire State Building, but no sane person has ever watched the entire thing.

So is Melania's tale as the world's most successful gold digger amusing? I suppose one would need to watch it to tell.
Is it educational? Does it purport to demonstrate HOW a too tall aging Slovenian model can marry a filthy rich conman and enjoy a happy life?

I noticed that the local theaters have hiked their prices to over $11.00, and am not wiling to spend that much to watch something over hours long of gold diggery. Being as I am not a too tall aging Slovenian model, I see no educational value in watching it. So it would have to amuse me. Unless it is streamed for free, I doubt I will ever see the whole thing.

Lefties enjoy films that promote lots of immorality or political stupidity.

Very few films are political. But Melania is clearly the Queen of Gold Diggers.

Imagine that. A gold digger stole the position of candidate for president from a gold digger's husband but was defeated in the 2024 general election and so we got a gold digger 1st lady in the White House.

looks like the critics are far from impressed..

Critics, who weren’t invited to preview screenings or the premiere that took place Thursday in Washington, D.C., are now catching up with the movie and it’s as bad as many predicted. Many of the first reviews are coming out of the UK and Australia given the time zone differences.


The UK’s Independent gives the film one star out of five, saying: “[The] First Lady is a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness in this ghastly bit of propaganda … Hitting cinemas as the streets of America remain filled with the angry and grieving – with the country on the verge of an irreparable schism – the vulgar, gilded lifestyle of the Trumps makes them look like Marie Antoinette skulking in her cake-filled chateau, or Hermann Göring’s staring up at his looted Monet.”

The publication continued: “The “film” is part propaganda, sure, and part sop to Big Tech companies who require constant regulatory approval for financial manoeuvrings. Even then, it is bad. It will exist as a striking artefact – like The Birth of a Nation or Triumph of the Will – of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly.”


The Guardian, whose critic said he had the cinema all to himself at his screening this morning, also gave the film one star, calling it “Dispiriting, deadly and unrevealing – there is a decent documentary to be made about the former model from Slovenia, but this one is unredeemable … I’m not even sure it qualifies as a documentary, exactly, so much as an elaborate piece of designer taxidermy, horribly overpriced and ice-cold to the touch and proffered like a medieval tribute to placate the greedy king on his throne.”



The Express‘ critic, one of seven people in the cinema he attended, gave the film 2/5 stars, calling it “a painfully sincere Trump puff piece, all style and no substance”: “Many scenes bore, as Melania – who narrates throughout at a monotone pitch – spends too much time in service lifts with sycophants and in painfully stiff, orchestrated scenes discussing her all-important work. … Of course, President Donald Trump himself features prominently in scenes that just about begin to humanise his wife, with her backstage YMCA dancing and suggestions for altering his inauguration speech. However, her singing Michael Jackson in the back of a limo is pretty awkward amid a totally humourless and extremely sincere documentary that takes itself far too seriously.”


London’s Evening Standard had kinder reflections in its 3/5 star review: “Is the film worth $40 million? I can’t see it myself, except for the shot of Kamala Harris at the inauguration, which is worth the entrance ticket, but if Jeff Bezos and his millions are that easily parted, good luck to her. The greatest relief in the whole thing came when she actually took her heels off, after three balls, and, as she says, 22 hours without sleep. She’s a phenomenon. What, exactly, is her relationship with Trump, who was effusive about, “my beautiful wife”? We don’t know. The enigma remains.”

Australian outlet the Sydney Morning Herald gave the film two and half stars, calling it “beautifully shot but short on substance.” Subscribe to read more of that one. The Atlantic, another subscriber-only joint, made its stance clear with the headline “The Melania Trump Documentary Is a Disgrace: The exorbitant film captures the rotten state of the entertainment industry.”


Australian substack Screen Space also gave the film one star: “Watching Melania get fitted for expensive clothes in gaudy rooms, or talk up how extravagantly staged she demands her balls be – and both happen a lot in Brett Ratner’s unrelentingly boring feature doc debut – only strengthen perceptions of her as a chilly, lifeless socialite wannabe… Melania is not the story of the First Lady of American politics, but the imagining of the first homeland monarch in U.S. history. This is not a film concerned at all with the America of today; it is propaganda that serves the formation of a future non-democracy.”

I am sure that anyone, including myself could learn a lot from Melania's movie. But it is absurd to compare Melania, whose only talent seems to be wearing clothes, with Kalama Harris, who was elected by millions of California voters, and who was a very good campaigner, and whom I think could have beat Shitshizpants, if Shitshizpants had not got millions in contribution from Musk, Theil and other reactionary software, financial and hedge fund billionaires.

Nobody has gotten more mass-mimeographed votes in California than Kackles. Not even Pelosi.

It is a shame that the movie did not show her having intimate relations with frump since that is her only real claim to fame.

If she had not been married to the malignant narcissus, she would have been well forgotten as an ex-non-supermodel and
illegal immigrant into the US.

it looks like the non-supermodel was very good pals with pedophile maxwell


"..The Justice Department on Friday released many more files related to its investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, including a gushing exchange between Melania Trump and Epstein’s now-imprisoned sidekick, Ghislaine Maxwell.

“Dear G! How are you?” Melania began one apparent email to Maxwell, dated October 2002. “Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great in the picture.”

New York magazine ran a story about Epstein that month in which Donald Trump indicated he knew about his former pal’s penchant for young girls.
