1. "Must remain in seat for the entirety of the film"

gawd they are cruel

2. I just have to ask, what about it makes it look "real"?

Both political "sides" do this all the time, and it's never legit (that I can ever remember)

8. I meant

it is on craigslist, not a mock up from the web somewhere.

3. You'd have to pay me a lot more than $50 to sit through that dreck.

4. When a right wing org buys right wing books in bulk, the sale is recorded

Now, they are usually recorded and reported as bulk orders, but nobody reads the asterisk.

When right wing orgs buy tickets in bulk, the sale is recorded, but whether the ticket was redeemed is also recorded. That's the problem. Since theaters make their money off concessions, they notice when a 300 seat theater is sold out but nobody shows up.

5. "Lock in your savings! Buy a Melania popcorn bucket for $13, two for $30, or three for $60!"

6. Not surprised at all

The film's failure is passively piquing the base, so the underground reacts.

[Totally Tunsie]

7. Does it count if you sleep through it?

Asking for a current president.
