If you’re on the fence about seeing MELANIA but you’re really busy, contact the theater. Tell them your availability and they’ll work around it

This week, #Melania heads to cinemas, a $40m documentary with a marketing budget akin to a mid-level studio film.
It may be one of the most expensive documentaries ever. Here’s how it compares to other films of its type...

If you're in the UK, Rabbit Trap hits theaters this Friday, January 30. Recommended if you're interested in folk horror, the fae, hauntology, and things of that nature. A totally trippy time, starring Dev Patel and Rosy McEwen. Here's the trailer:

I think this one was from Sex Education S1 time? Or it may have been Normal People
![Scene: two teenage boys in school, in their uniforms, walking along corridor by the lockers.
BOY 1: Argh!
[We see what he is reacting to. They have seen their friend DANNY, who is a great big man with a thick neck, wrinkles, a strong jaw and nose. He is dressed in a school uniform much too small for him.]
DANNY: Hi lads.
BOY 2: Danny... What’s happened to you?
DANNY: Yeah it’s really weird…
DANNY: I thought I was 15, but I’m actually a character in a prestige TV drama who is inexplicably being played by an adult actor?
DANNY: I think this is like, a flashback scene which explains my future story as a troubled genius.
BOY 1: But your neck is all thick
BOY 2: You’ve got actual wrinkles
BOY 1: You look like a massive boy
DANNY: Stop it lads!
DANNY: You are saying mean things to me that will fuel my inner conflict and drive my narrative forward!
BOY 1: Is that a grey hair?
DANNY [running away]: SOB!

I'm sure it's a total, utter, complete, 💯% coincidence that this story has come out when one of them has a film in the running for an Oscar. It definitely has NOT been maliciously leaked by a rival, no siree
