Well said.

Now that's a shirt that goes hard!

Worldwide even.

Isn't it an Amazon film, not Netflix?

40M is nothing to Bezos, and it's a good investment if it wins him a few favors from Trump.

With narcissism, I think their goal is always both. They deserve the bribe and the adoration, in their minds

If it gets them a new tax bill or something, it'll be worth billions. Trump is the cheapest presidential bribe of the last 100 years, and that's just because of inflation.

“With all their tools, all their AI, Amazon Web Services — they didn’t just come up with that number randomly,” Da Frè said. “They believe, through their metrics, that it’s worth that amount.”

Having worked at Amazon for a couple years this is the most hilarious thing I've read.

If someone L10+ wants something to happen its gonna happen metrics be damned. Lemmings will fudge numbers and just make it work. For all the bluster about LPs and such it's a very top down culture and what VPs and above want they fucking get it.

They believe they’ll get something back out of this via corruption for sure. 

I think ultimately Trump will blame Amazon for messing up the movie defeating the whole point of the exercise though. 

Amazon should have let Ellison’s companies make it because the backlash won’t have been worth it. 

As you said, it's only worth that amount as a bribe. Paying Trump directly would definitely be a problem if we had a functioning Supreme Court and Congress (or if he were a Democrat), but why not make sure that bribe has a thin veil of deniability by wrapping it up in a pretty package that's labeled "Movie."

He’s half right. Bezos is getting what he paid for. He couldn’t care less if anyone sees that movie.

That’s because it’s a bribe

You misspelled, "public money laundering".

You can choose the seat yet take one on the side??

Illegally worked in the USA too.

Melania’s early career as a queer-baiting wannabe porn star?

Wouldn't those films sell better? Assuming she actually did any.

It'll be 90 minutes of her servicing guests at Epstein Island, then 30 minutes of legal threats that she is not now, and never has been a prostitute.

No shortage of Chuds who were horny for Eva Braun. But I've seen far more slashfic of Sarah Palin than Melania, even now.

Idk what it is about this generation of MAGA, but they're way less into jerking it to their (female) fascist overlords than they were 16 years ago.

Did the shitbag Hitler make a film for Eva?

Probably. The movie is so damn repulsive I wouldn't be near a cinema playing it.

I'd agree if I didn't think that every single part of the movie would vaporize every bit of libido in a 2km radius.

"Paradise Alley" was pretty good for that, back in 78.

Don't ask how I know.

Trump purchased her from Epstein

She’s an Einstein Genius™ Visa holder!

Probably not from the theater (would be hilarious though) but since I would imagine they were online reviewers they may have been paid to watch it, which is close!

teriffic

Guess who wrote that one

Jeez, I sure hope they are bots. She has been a complete non participant when it comes to doing the tasks a First Lady does. Outside of her "I don't care..." bullshit, she's just done nothing. Well, except consistently try to weasel out of all attempts by her husband to touch her, anyway.
