  1. Details:

    >In the hours before the film screened (press check-in began at 2 p.m. for the 6 p.m. carpet), there was slight optimism from veteran reporters, accustomed to slipping their way into Trump World, that they’d be able to network their way into a seat. But by 6:30 p.m., when members of the administration began walking the carpet, it became clear that most of the mainstream press would be blocked from attending the Amazon MGM Studios film.

    >Reporters from The New York Times, The Washington Post, AP and Vanity Fair, among dozens of other outlets on the carpet, were not granted tickets to the invite-only screening in the Opera House, located one floor above the carpet. The only press from the carpet allowed into the screening (not counting those separately invited) were One America News anchor Dan Ball and his wife Peyton Drew, a producer for the far-right news channel.

  2. The right will call it payback. The left will call it censorship. With both sides missing the (likely) common sense truth: *this film is a fucking disaster,* lol. (Stills of it do look pretty, I guess.)

  3. “Who should be have direct this movie about Melania? I know, the guy with multiple sexual assault allegations and present in the Epstein files? Nooo, I didn’t mean Donald.”

  4. This is fundamentally gross for a million reasons but if I were a reporter/critic that was supposed to cover this movie, I would feel like I dodged a bullet
