If people are watching it, it’s only out of curiosity

This is literally the only reason I’ve tried to download it, I’m not paying money for that 🏴‍☠️

But every time I search for Melania, it’s just all porn.

The porn likely has a better plot and message.
Show threadNastybutlerMar 11
And more natural diction
Show threadKairosMar 10
Oh no, you’re mistaken—everything else on Prime is way worse
Show threadPunnyNameMar 10
Fallout and Invincible aren’t slop!
Show threadKairosMar 10
Sure
Show threadTheAsianDonKnotsMar 10
I’ll add The Boys, The Expanse, The Marvelous Ms Mazel, The Grand Tour, Clarkson’s Farm, and Reacher just off the top of my head.
Show threadFrozengyroMar 10
The last season of Reacher is definitely slop!

SPOILERS! I wish a temporary skin rash on your pits. It will go away, but man is it annoying.

Prime specializes in acclaimed violence.

There’s a bunch of seasons of Would I Lie To You that aren’t available on Britbox. Arguably 100x better than Malignia.

This is what I expected to do. Can easily fake the numbers.

What I did not expect was its cinema release. You can fake ticket sales

Show threadTheAsianDonKnotsMar 10
Sure you can. Musk bought a bunch of cyber trucks and abandoned them. It would be WAY easier to buy a shit ton of movie tickets and there’s no evidence to get rid of after.
Show threadfox2263Mar 10
Not when one person goes and says it was empty.
Show threadTheAsianDonKnotsMar 10
I’m just saying you CAN fake ticket sales.
Show threadfox2263Mar 10
Well they chose not to it seems, oddly. Plenty of articles and memes showing completely empty showings in the booking sites.
Show threadFrChazzzMar 10
Which makes me wonder if this was part of the strategy. Like a kind of reverse-Streisand? Once it hits streaming more people might watch it out of spite or see if it’s “really that bad.”
Show threadBluescluestoothpasteMar 10
Who cares? They put it the box office numbers in the newspapers and 99% of the country believes it was a success.
Show threadreddig33Mar 11
People did go and say it was empty. The tickets were bought en masse and not used. It’s the same thing they do with religious and political books to get them on the best seller list.

Imagine paying for prime to have the privilege for jeff bezos to personally fuck you but not in the good way
Show threadthatsnothowyoudoitMar 10
It’s not just elites and corporate overlords. This trash was the top spot on “staff picks” at my local private swashbuckling club. Sad.
Show threadNastybutlerMar 11

I saw that come up last night and immediately gave it a thumbs down.

Show threadk0mprssdMar 11
saw the ad before turning on a hockey game. didnt know I could thumbs down but I will after the game!
Show threadÆnimaMar 11
As if I needed another reason to avoid having Prime!
