'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

Coincidentally, Ratner just got greenlit for Rush Hour 4, which had been in development hell since 2018.

Jackie Chan is the best. Must be a little long in the tooth now.

He's a tool of the CCP.

Idk how you figure that. He is an actor, of course he's going to have relations to his home country.

He's always been a scummy fuck. He's good with kicks and punches, sure, and he figures heavily in the Panama papers. He's connected.

Yeah, but you wonder if he'd sign on to Rush Hour 4 now, knowing the director was in the Epstein files.
