"She... helped cut the trailer, which features a particularly arch interaction between husband and wife."

"'Did you watch it?' President Trump asks her over the phone, as she stands in her office in Trump Tower. 'I did not,' she responds. 'I will see it on the news.' It was a clip Melania chose herself. 'That’s the essence [of the movie],' says [Marc Beckman, her senior adviser]. 'People have never seen this part of their relationship before.' Melania as the chief executive, busy with other things. Trump as the sensitive husband. Melania then selected the marketing imagery, which was painted across billboards from the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles to Times Square in New York City. 'Melania’s vision is very symmetrical, right angles, black and white,' says Beckman, comparing the brand guidelines to those of fashion houses such as Chanel, Christian Dior and Bulgari. 'It’s all about supporting this luxury brand that she’s building.'"

"OMG can you believe Eva Braun made a documentary?" will go the cry among the useful idiots.

I'm curious who goes to see this and where. If it's possible to tease out the why about those who choose to plunk down money to see this in theaters, that information would also be interesting, to me. Even filtered through the thoroughly hateful media, I'm curious what we learn from this.

It's rare for a movie to come out that has such potential for truly unexpected reactions.

gspencer చెప్పారు...

Odd for someone who claims privacy to be so publicity-minded.

Political Junkie చెప్పారు...

Love it, but will not watch it.

baghdadbob చెప్పారు...

Wake me up when a major US fashion magazine puts Melania on the cover. I mean, sure, she's no Michelle or Hillary, but she's not hideous looking.

Eric the Fruit Bat చెప్పారు...

The movie should be popular with foot fetishists.

John henry చెప్పారు...

So Melania is the new Dr Jill controlling a non-compos president?

Are the really going to try that on us?

Or Edith Wilson for another Demmie analogy

Perfect movie for Ann and Meade to see in Madison this week. Go early to beat the crowds.

Some banshees were complaining because brett ratner is director

doctrev చెప్పారు...

Amazon MGM made this?

Oh yes, the culture is turning.

Mike (MJB Wolf) చెప్పారు...

Privacy and publicity are both highly valued and normally attainable. Privacy for one's private life and publicity for one's public role. Is this another of those simple concepts that progressives are going to complicate by pretending to not understand? Like Federal supremacy?

Inga చెప్పారు...

“So Melania is the new Dr Jill controlling a non-compos president?”

Looks that way.

Eva Marie చెప్పారు...

The thing about the Trump presidency is —
it’s fun.

Eva Marie చెప్పారు...

What Trump detractors don’t understand is how many unusual friendships have been forged by all their nuttiness.

Jaq చెప్పారు...

Here is a surefire sale to Hollywood, a "documentary" called "The General's Wives" that reveals in a now it can be told manner, how Mamie Eisenhower, and Patton's French mistress, and .., well you get it, explained to their thick headed husbands what was really needed to win the war. You could even have a scene where Harry Truman hesitates to drop the bomb on a Japanese city, and Bess bucks him up, like Maggie Thatcher telling George H. W. Don't go wobbly on us now!"

Jaq చెప్పారు...

"Are the really going to try that on us?"

"Perfect movie for Ann and Meade to see in Madison this week. Go early to beat the crowds."

We haven't gone to see a movie since "Elvis."

Going to this would present the danger that some crowd of protesters would come in and yell at us, like at that church thing the other day.

Avatar or Lord of the Rings or Marty Supreme ends, and on their way out, the crowd stops in at Melanie to loudly inform the audience that it is evil.

I don't have time for that.

Ann Althouse చెప్పారు...

How about a movie delving into the subtle realities of Trump, the grandfather?

Peachy చెప్పారు...

Inag - you are so disgraceful.
did you ever complain about Crook Joe after the mob cheated his way in? No.

The leftists in this country have turned into rabid animals.

People that do this should not be allowed in a free country.

This seems like some kind of asshole bait. It's gonna draw them out, and nobody needs more of that.

Left Bank of the Charles చెప్పారు...

She comes across as a great Bond villain. I can imagine the reboot. Ernst Blofeld is elected President of the United States, but his Melania-like wife is the real power behind Spectre. James Bond is sent in to clean house. On His Majesty’s Secret Service.

"Going to this would present the danger that some crowd of protesters would come in and yell at us, like at that church thing the other day."

You need to look at it like visiting a petting zoo, or swimming with sharks.

bagoh20 చెప్పారు...

Regardless of merits, what the chances of media critics liking it?

Dave Begley చెప్పారు...

Ann:

But the two of you will go see my, “Frankenstein, Part II,” right?

Jaq చెప్పారు...

" James Bond is sent in to clean house. On His Majesty’s Secret Service."

If you follow events closely, Starmer, who is as unpopular among the British people as a whole as Trump is unpopular among Democrats here, seems to believe that that is the play. They keep whining TACO, when what they really mean is "At the end of the day, Trump never does the thing we neocons and neoliberals (globalists all) want the most!"

Neocons think that the US should rule the world and not a sparrow should fall to the Earth but with the permission of the US President, with consolation with a couple of the old families in London, and the neoliberals think that European old money should have a say too, meaning the wealthy descendents probably of Roman officers, whose families have maybe held sway in Europe since Caesar dragged Vercingetorix back to Rome for public execution. .

OK, that last bit is speculation, all the parts after "European old money."

Consort of the light bringer Obama laurels all around

1) What if it turns out that Melania quietly turns out to be the most substantial First Lady we've had in decades?

2) Ann Althouse said..."Going to this would present the danger that some crowd of protesters would come in and yell at us, like at that church thing the other day."

I live within sight of the Manhattan skyline. Unfortunately, I find myself thinking this way, too, especially going to the city or a handful of particularly activist communities.

Biff చెప్పారు...

Also, between Condoleezza Rice and Melania Trump, there's something about Republican women who can wear high heels that really triggers the left.

narciso చెప్పారు...

That was David samuels coinage

Even more substantial than Big Mike?

boatbuilder చెప్పారు...

Good for Melania, but anybody who believes that Melania is in any respect other than decorating "the power behind the throne" is an idiot.

boatbuilder చెప్పారు...

Heh--I posted that before I read the comments. Thanks for confirming, Inga.

narciso చెప్పారు...

Or Times reader on eithet shore

Kakistocracy చెప్పారు...

Just got the wife and I tickets to see Melania.

She asked what it was about. So I explained: It's the inspiring true story of a porn star and high-end escort from Eastern Europe who gets trafficked to America, marries one of her wealthy clients for a green card, settles into a life of luxury surrounded by child traffickers, and eventually becomes First Lady.

Can't wait for the heartwarming red-carpet moments and the triumphant score swelling over the immigration triumph. Five stars for the American Dream. 🇺🇸

Peachy చెప్పారు...

Leftist would rather fill in around ABC's the view and listen to Michelle Obama complain.

narciso చెప్పారు...

The spew is an increasingly more selective audiencd as is the ine great Thunderer

Once great Thunderer as was the Torygraph

Jaq చెప్పారు...

I can just imagine the good German citizens, in the late '30s. when the day's newspaper is read by the dad at the breakfast table, and there is a story of the latest perfidy of "the Jews" on the front page, and the father throws the paper down on the table triumphantly and says "I knew it!"

Aggie చెప్పారు...

Keenly interested to see how this pans out over at Box Office Mojo. Will there be protestors keeping people from buying tickets? Will they allow ticket sales, but prevent people from actually attending, lest their eyes be soiled? Will the police be told to 'stand down' by the mayors and governors, declaring a 'sanctuary theater'?

Peachy చెప్పారు...

Aggie -
The left are such losers, I fully expect them to act like the Nazis they are at the door.

bagoh20 చెప్పారు...

I guess I'm really a rube. When I read "She... helped cut the trailer" I'm thinking about what they were building, and why do the Trumps have a mobile home?

Peachy చెప్పారు...

Melania chops up a double-wide with her very own chainsaw. Up next on HGTV.

I wouldn't count on it, Dave.

She hasn't watched my Bob Dylan movie, and it's:

• free at home

• award-winning and warmly reviewed

• and about Bob frikkin' Dylan.

She is a peculiar one...

I am Laslo.

Do I detect a note of jealousy?

Hassayamper చెప్పారు...

They keep whining TACO, when what they really mean is "At the end of the day, Trump never does the thing we neocons and neoliberals (globalists all) want the most!"

This TACO thing is the most surreal delusion the Left has, which is really saying something.

Number 1, it's the most erroneous thing possible to say about the guy who had the balls to destroy Iran's nuclear program, move our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, go far down the road of demolishing the Department of Education, and exfiltrate the dictator of Venezuela with the most daring and successful military operation in decades.

Number 2, everyone knows it's just an opportunistic volte-face from day before yesterday when the very same people were saying he's a pigheaded intransigent ideologue who never changes his mind or negotiates compromises. The JournoList.2 bat-signal goes out, and the messaging of the day is switched 180 degrees just as fast as it was after the Molotov-Von Ribbentrop Pact. Do they feel no shame at all at such craven Orwellian mendacity?

Rosalyn C. చెప్పారు...

I want to see this but not in a movie theater, especially not in my town. TDS central. I think Melania is surprisingly sharp witted and very funny. And as she said, everybody wants to know what their marriage is really like. So bring it on. Of course the trailer could have picked the best parts and the rest is boring, which sometimes happens in movies, but I hope not. I doubt she is that stupid.

Ann Althouse చెప్పారు...

i’ve never watched “a complete unknown” either, if it’s any consolation. I’ve been watching this 90 minute Jerry Lewis movie in pieces, I think five pieces so far, and I still have at least 20 minutes left. I guess I don’t really watch movies

Kakistocracy చెప్పారు...

Will the number of people going to see the Melania movie exceed the number of Fox viewers who are aware of Trump’s pardons?
