I did try to reserve seats in a knob shape, but it wouldn't let me select enough.

Try aiming for something a bit more like her husband's. Fewer pixels required.

It was attended by what the Hollywood Reporter describes as “70 assorted VIPs”, including Amazon’s Andy Jassy, Apple’s Tim Cook, Queen Rania of Jordan and Mike Tyson.

I'd actually really like to go to one of these parties.  I mean, how often do you get to see Tim Cook and Mike Tyson in conversation?

I have no idea who Andy Jassy and Queen Rania are but I'm going to assume they are part of a group of performing drag queens.

And out of that nine, how many bought their ticket just so they could see how bad it could actually be?

That second booking is a brave person going there for a dangerw##k.

Extending the Dangermouse universe to a more adult audience like that was a mistake

I think as others said... The movie wasn't designed to make money at the box office, it's just a donation gift vehicle.

This is just another 'Trump Bible', 'trump luxury watch', 'Trump NFT' etc. Etc

Without wishing to turn the thread into a sexist shaming thing she doesn't score well:

Nice smile: nope

Natural movement: nope

Expressive movement of hands, eyes, shoulders, head etc: nope

Dress sense: nope

Friendly and chatty: nope

As a Guardian blind date I think I'd soon be eating with a spoon, sniffing, picking my nose and dribbling to put her off, but Angela Merkel on the other hand I might even exchange numbers with, just as friends of course.

There are different types of seduction, social, sexual... to be "quite hot" someone needs to be first and foremost seductive socially IMO. As an example these two have social seduction skills that make Melania look like a dress maker's mannequin.

AIUI there weren’t any preview screening for media people so some a significant percentage of these sales will be them 😆

Indeed  - the 'deal' if you can call it that was $40m to make the documentary- or rather for a documentary to be made (the bulk of which went straight to Melania as she's both the subject of the documentary and also its 'executive producer). She also gets a a sizable percentage of any sales. For the cimema distribution there are obviously no sales to speak of - the cinemas won't care - theyre basically on a deal where they get paid by Bezos to screen the film, - he's paying for the film to screen in hundreds of empty rooms - they don't actually need to sell any tickets. (Amazons promotions budget for the doc is around $35m so these empty cinemas are just marketing)

But of course is also screening on Amazon. Streamers are notoriously incredibly opaque about streaming data, usually with the aim of stiffing productions out of any residuals they're due. But in this case they can pretend many millions of people viewed it and use that as a front for passing further money over without its being 'a donation'.

Also part of the deal - third parties are able to 'sponsor' the documentary - you'd think that means they can contribute to the cost of making and distributing the film. Yes? Just incase the $40m ends up coming up a bit short? No. The contract she has with Jeff is 100% of any 'sponsorship' goes straight to her pocket.

 

Amazon has more that $70billion worth of US government contracts - so thats something like a 17500% return on investment for Jeff

I see Amazon need to shed 16000 employees. Coincidental? Hmmm

 

(Point of order: I believe Jeff Bezos is no longer CEO of Amazon, so not sure what his link to the company is now and/or he was actually involved in this "deal")

as CEO he only took a modest salary - approx  $80,000 per year. His billions come from his amazon share holdings. And his influence is through ownership, not through holding a paid position.

Presumably a joke? Yeah? Paying cinemas to show the movie to empty auditoriums is scary enough.

If I wanted to watch a film about a sex worker climbing the social ladder, I would have watched Pretty Woman.

My money is on it being a fake, but the fun thing with Trump is that you can never really be sure.

I kind of want to see it just to see how bad it is . Surely this is an occasion when downloading it from a torrent site would be a morally acceptable option ?

So long as you seed generously (minimum ratio of 1) torrenting is always morally acceptable.

Saying that, I wouldn't bother as it would be funny if this became the least pirated movie in history.

Edit to add before anyone asks:  Yes, I would shoot a policeman, steal his helmet, go to the toilet in his helmet, send it to his grieving widow, and then steal it again!

Still plenty of availability for Rochdale tonight.

I suppose if nobody goes they'll be able to get maintenance in to fix the two broken seats.

The problem seems to be that there’s a misconception about what the film is, as she explained last night at the premiere….

‘Some have called this a documentary. It is not,'

‘It is a creative experience that offers perspectives, insights and moments that only few perceive.'

Maybe the world just isn’t ready?

I had the misfortune of seeing the preview on the BBC news. Not a single clip showed her doing 'good works' , you know the type of thing that Betty Ford or Michelle Obama did, often without fuss or not promoted.

All I saw were 6" stilettos disappearing up aircraft steps, (for all I know Donny could have been wearing them) oh and her ringing the stock exchange bell.

If it was a film about an eastern European who girl arrived in a strange new country and worked her way to becoming The First Lady, meeting all sorts of unpleasant and abusive characters along the way, then it might make a good story.

But for it to work she needed to have ended up with a good guy, not an unpleasant and abusive one.
