😂😂 "Melania" is already free on Prime Video (Amazon)

[underpants]

My wife and I were queuing up “Young Sherlock” to finish the season and it popped up. We cracked up.


I clicked on it expecting at least a trailer. No trailer. Straight to the intro. Basically straight to video.
Everything at least fishes for a rent or buy for a week or two. Nope

Budget $40 million (+ $35M in marketing)
Box office $16.7 million

1. I wondered what happened to that

how long before free on you tube? fucking grifters

2. It was a bribe.

She got $28M up front. Bezos was just throwing pocket change away to keep government contracts going. Anthropic apparently didn’t pay up.

[0rganism]

14. Funny thing, if she'd cut back to $4M the film's theatre take could have (barely) exceeded its budget

Not that profitability means a damn thing to these ultra-rich mega-grifters, still it stands proudly as a grand monument to Bezos' magnificent sycophancy.

24. Funny thing is

Amazon has a significant stake in Anthropic:

3. Too expensive for me

23. If you have prime vide, give Malarias movie a !ousy score!!!!!!

[Norrrm]

4. Pretty sure I'll miss it. Did the butler do it? Or the pool boy?

[Sympthsical]

5. I have a small Fire tv on my nightstand

I like to fall asleep to documentaries and things, and the small tv doesn't bother my partner like the big tv on the wall would. So every night, I plop down, turn it on, and usually throw on a YouTube watch list.

But first, you get a splash screen of Amazon things.

Lemme tell ya. Seeing Melania just leaping out at you as you're laying down to sleep is an experience.

11. Gave ya nightmares didn't it. 😱

[demosincebirth]

15. I would not waste my time even if they paid me.

[MustLoveBeagles]

6. Already?

Well good. Now I can hate watch it when I want to.

[edhopper]

7. Another $35 million into advertising

Besos doesn't do small bribes.

[lame54]

8. Box office 16.7 million...

Number of viewers - 27

[Cha]

9. I know... I hate that Bad Witch's Face

starting at us... I scroll the hell down As Fast As I CAN

[RainCaster]

10. I would love to review it, but I would have to watch it first

I can't bring myself to do that.

[rsdsharp]

12. Not if you paid me. Hell, not if SHE paid me.

[msongs]

13. does it include all her nudie shots? nt

[Cadfael]

16. I very carefully navigated to the "more info" button

And chose the “thumbs down - not for me” option

[jeffreyi]

17. Pro tip.

You can "hide" the video. You are welcome.

[Maru Kitteh]

18. Good information! Thanks :)

[Pisces]

19. I wouldn't watch it if they paid me. No need

[purr-rat beauty]

20. I watched 5 minutes

And noticed the opening song is about war, chaos, rape, and murder...

Looks like she should share her thoughts on Epstein

I stopped it and disliked it

[Red Mountain]

21. Already?

Good things come to those who wait, I guess.

[underpants]

25. My daughter pointed out that it may be to create more clicks/views

[LilElf70]

22. I'm afraid

it is still a total waste of time I would never get back. Yeah, I'll pass, again. and again. and again!!!!

[QueerDuck]

26. My husband and I enjoy Young Sherlock too... except for the music.

It's disconcerting and distracting. The show's anachronistic musical style clashes with its 1871 Victorian setting.

I'm sure that Guy Ritchie thought he was being clever and artsy in using modern, high-energy music to create a "punk-rock" period aesthetic rather than a traditional orchestral one... but I dislike it.

Even though I enjoy the acting and story telling, sets and costumes... it might very well be that I abandon it because of the music. It remains to be seen if I can get accustomed to it, or if it continues to be intrusive.

[underpants]

27. I can definitely see that.

I thought it was a good move x of sings but you’re right about it not really fitting in.

[Solomon]

28. I hate it when they do that.
