I think I saw one review that said it best:

If they showed this film on a plane, people would still walk out.

Can you short a film like you can with stocks?

The most valuable thing you have in your life is time. Every company knows this, it's why there are constant battles for streaming, social media, YouTube, games, drinks, time with friends happening in your head. How am I going to spend the little time I have?

And some people will spend two hours watching this.

Is it bad or Showgirls bad where we’ll appreciate it more in 20 years?

I suspect watching it will feel different once Trump has been left dangling from a gas station and Melania will be.. In prison, I guess?

Could be an interesting enough historical document one day to help understand just how shit America is in 2026. As a contemporary document it's not really needed; we know.

Don’t despair Mussolini’s girlfriend was hung with him by an angry mob. There’s hope

and Melania will be.. In prison, I guess?

Has Melania committed any crimes? With Trump the list of crimes is endless. For his children, the list of crimes is endless. But are there any known (technically, suspected) crimes that belong to Melania?

I ask because I assume in 5-10 years she'll be putting out books and giving interviews about all the crazy shit she witnessed, but didn't participate in.

By all accounts she's a terrible person, but would she be in jail?

At the very least she should be deported for her Einstein visa fraud after being held in the same conditions that the rest of the immigrants are being held in and investigated throughly for her involvement in any violations of the emoluments clause

And that, friends, is the difference between morals and ethics.
