It’s making headlines now!
404 media has the report.
That cover really does look like a great fit for #Monsterdon. Too bad that’s not a movie.

OUCH! "It’s one of those rare, unicorn films that doesn’t have a single redeeming quality. 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"
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/jan/30/melania-review-trump-film-is-a-gilded-trash-remake-of-the-zone-of-interest@cstross I see we've found the one person who bought a ticket

@CurlyParakeet @richrockster @503bartley @cstross @jwz searching from an account that hasn’t looked at it, it comes up second in a search on Amazon for Melania when I checked just now.
@thatKomputerKat @CurlyParakeet @richrockster @503bartley @cstross @jwz am I seeing 12200 actual purchases of the real Melania book? Wtaf.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/jan/30/melania-review-trump-film-is-a-gilded-trash-remake-of-the-zone-of-interest@cstross Looks like a script for the Bond villain of our times: vapid, more vapid and carelessly destructive in OTT white and gold.

This guy is delusional. This was a bribe to curry favour.
"Documentary filmmaker Stefano Da Frè, who was not involved in the project told CNN that Amazon would have done their homework before making that kind of outlay, explaining that Amazon “is a data-driven company.
“With all their tools, all their AI, Amazon Web Services — they didn’t just come up with that number randomly,” he said. “They believe, through their metrics, that it’s worth that amount.”

Just to rub it in, I want to contrast that with Michelle Obamas book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becoming_(book)

It is rare for any piece of art to so fully capture the spirit of its subject.

@confuseacat @wriggly @Corax42 @UweHalfHand @503bartley @cstross The ad "Saugroboter für jeden Bedarf" - "Sucking Robots (German for Robovacs) for all needs" wrt Melania is :chefskiss:

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/jan/30/melania-review-trump-film-is-a-gilded-trash-remake-of-the-zone-of-interest@cstross So, I get this right, all these reports of "Only one ticket sold for the opening night" actually just refer to fhe local film critic?

@UweHalfHand @503bartley @cstross Congratulations, it's #1 now. For both "Melania" and "Melania Trump". We did it!
@UweHalfHand @503bartley @cstross It's still #1 for "Melania", but it seems to have fallen back to #3 for "Melania Trump"

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/jan/30/melania-review-trump-film-is-a-gilded-trash-remake-of-the-zone-of-interest@cstross The comparison to Zone of Interest is very clever. The banality of everyday life while the horror is right there.
