Josephus

Quote from: crazy canuck on January 30, 2026, 11:40:29 PMI am not sure she cares if anyone actually sees the movie

I wonder about that, though. I think she shares her husband's vanity and disillusion that she is very important.
I think the nasty reviews must be getting to her, unless she is being shielded from them, and only shown the ones made up for her.

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

So apparently Melania did pretty well. It is expected to get over $8milion and be the best start for a doc (excluding concert films) in 14 years

It's not that much given that a lot of it probably comes from organized watching from conservative communities - they do that a lot for i.e. religious movies that gross about the same amount.

One of the latest Kevin Sorbo movie.  It's about someone having a crisis of Faith.

Now I understand a lot more :P
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

A huge chunk of Trump voters display cult-like tendencies. I think that documentary should do ok box-office wise. I don't know why they're trying to distribute it overseas though. That's ridiculous.

It's an investment, not an expense.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar
