'Scowling Void of Pure Nothingness': Critics Destroy $75 Million Melania Trump Documentary | Common Dreams (www.commondreams.org)

One particularly brutal review came from Nick Hilton, film critic for the Independent, who said that the first lady came off in the film as “a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness” who leads a “vulgar, gilded lifestyle.”

Hilton added that the film is so terrible that it fails even at being effective propaganda and is likely to be remembered as “a striking artifact... of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly.”

I think we can officially conclude 2026 is The Year Of The Scowling Void Of Pure Nothingness

I mean, both are cult propaganda written by and for deranged members of the cult.

I guess the Mango Mussolini cult is just two and a half times as popular as the Tom Cruise cult 🤷

The 2025 version didn't have Tom Cruise

It had Ice Cube, and I can't, for the life of me, understand why the fuck people keep giving that man work.

Ghost of Mars, that horrible XXX sequel, War of the Worlds, shit... they are remaking Anaconda? That's going to suck, too.

~~True, but it was still based on some bullshit Hubbard wrote iirc~~

I sit corrected

I don't mean to keep correcting you, but the author was HG Wells...

Dammit! 😄

I think I'm just gonna go back to watching vocal coaches react to Jinjer on YouTube for a bit 😁

War Of The Worlds probably got MAGAed for having a Black protagonist.
