I find it humorous that in this movie Brett Ratner asks a woman who may have been sold to Trump by Epstien her favorite musician and she says Michael Jackson. It's a child molestation trifecta
The only good thing to come out of any of this (and by that I mean the Trump administratios) has been the reviews of Melania. Top award to you. I am laughing my ass off in a doctor's office in Canada and stifling the desire to read excerpts aloud to people... None of them would care. They're also all grumpy because they couldn't of south this winter.
As with Michelle Obama and Laura Bush, sometimes "the woman behind the man" is just not that interesting, at least in public figure terms. Melania, by all available evidence, including her own interviews, is just a completely run of the mill gold-digger. *Yawn*. If you your only accomplishment is being pretty and young, and then you get old..... well... that's that then.🤷
Not gonna lie, I would watch a movie about how Melania made that nightmare forest red/white Christmas village for the White House during the first administration. Her chirping orders and terrified staffers frantically reviewing their notes. "'The trees must bleed' -the fuck does that mean?"
That the mob opens a restaurant to launder money, I can accept.
That crooked cops and the deputy mayor praise that restaurant to the newspapers and insist that it's the hottest spot in town, I cringe at. They can't let it be an honest graft.
Very entertaining. Can you point me to your accompanying piece on the Obamas' Netflix deal, $75 to $100 million if memory serves? Because I'm sure your take is even more hilarious!
So, when Pfizer hires its regulators away... this is suddenly "just plain kosher"? They call it a revolving door for a reason. Do government work, then get payout.
An interesting (and unasked) question is, why do entertainment companies feel the need to bribe Presidents? I doubt these deals (Melania, NetFlix, whatever) turn into good investments on their own terms, and I don’t think anyone expects them to. We can see the quid, what’s the pro quo?
A good way to search for this sort of thing is to use google search functions like OR, since Obama himself didn't win the award. It was only the production company.
If you don't want to learn that, AI is good at natural language searches so you can let it do most of the work.
There's a critical difference between, "Seeking to influence a government official" and "Seeking to influence literally anyone else," and it's a long-standing problem that many people don't recognize an essential difference there.
I'd guess it's a bit of both. I don't think it's ever bad to have a former president in your phone contacts.
One big difference is that the Obamas are actually popular among culture consumer. Like being on Obama's EOY list is a huge get. But nobody looks to the Trumps as tastemakers.
I'm starting to see what Melania and her husband see in each other. The relationship is just one big tacit agreement to pretend the other one is the centre of the universe, isn't it?
I’m sitting at a random bar in Atlanta by myself because I’m stuck here for work and just cackling hysterically. The bartender just came over to ask if I’m ok. I sent her a link, maybe she’ll subscribe.

Don Barbara on the other hand...
"The Bush Crime Family" was their own nickname, for themselves.
Thanks for taking one for the team.
It is most appreciated!
This was excellent
Remember when hating terrible movies was a way to NOT talk about politics?
Where is naked Elizabeth Berkeley when we need her?😁

“Gimme Shelter” was actually in the film? Presumably not the, “Rape, murder, it’s just a shot away” line?

I just REALLY want the limited edition popcorn bucket.
I dreamed the guv'ment gave me a choice -- watch "Melania" or be shot. I chose death.

1) Probably made money, 2) Obama wasn’t president anymore.
So, when Pfizer hires its regulators away... this is suddenly "just plain kosher"? They call it a revolving door for a reason. Do government work, then get payout.
Both sides. Both sides. Waah.

The Obamas probably made money for Netflix. Higher Ground Productions has racked up awards, including an Oscar. Seems like a good investment.
"Obama-produced movie wins Hollywood award" gives me no information at all.
I was referring to American Factory.

Because the Netflix deal was actually just to make content to put on Netflix, not to get policy favors.

I quite enjoyed American Factory. Have you seen it?
That was also during Netflix’s “green light everything” period.

“the muff police” made me need to reapply my black liquid eyeliner
This may be the first time they selected someone to manage a bureau who could actually deliver.
