Those Brutal “Melania” Documentary Reviews Have Vanished from Letterboxd
Meanwhile, the First Lady used a Fox News appearance calling for “unity” to shill the film.

James West

Yesterday I published a story about what was quickly becoming a surprising site of capital R Resistance: the Letterboxd review page for the $75 million documentary film, Melania.

Comments were profane, fun, silly, unprintable. I included some of my favorites. The point I was making was this: Even before the movie’s release this Friday, it has become a lightning rod for anger, not least because Melania Trump’s oligarchic private premiere gala at the White House came the same day Alex Pretti was shot dead in the streets of Minneapolis amid her husband’s disastrous siege of the city. A real let-them-eat-cake moment.

But as my colleague Arianna Coghill went to promote the story today on our social media channels, she discovered the have been wiped from the site entirely.

Snip...
Meanwhile, as if pocketing $28 million for just 20 days of being followed by filmmakers wasn’t grifty enough, Melania went on Fox News this morning to sermonize about “unity” after the Pretti killing—beneath a banner promoting her new film, bearing her own name.

Snip...

1. And now, the reviews . . . continue!

Pustulent vanity flypaper that of course I haven’t watched – I’d rather have my eyelids removed and converted into spider egg hammocks – but I think it’s my civic duty, as an American, to take a shit on this.

After all, I’ve had bowel movements more impressive, honest, and worthy of adoration than the turds currently occupying the White House.

Flush.

Sex pest Brett Ratner resurrected by the state so he can make propaganda fluff about the dictator's wife.

She was fearless and crazier than him. She was his queen, and god help anyone who dared to disrespect his queen.

4. That appears to be yet another highly AI-ized appearance of the rent-a-FLOTUS.

Carly Simon needs to revisit “You’re So Vain”.
