  2. sometimes I wonder about the standing ovation times..you read it a lot but standing there clapping for 8 min? Idont konw…even like 3 min is an eternity…you try clapping for more than 30 seconds and see how weird it gets.

  3. I love Sebastian Stan but will not bring myself to watch this.

  5. I just don’t understand how ovations for anything go longer than 15 seconds

  6. The only reason anyone should clap that long is to make the band you’re watching come out for the encore already

  8. What? Somebody has the intestinal fortitude to publicly state that the emperor has no clothes? While all his sycophants are falling in line to say how wonderful the threads are on his butt ass naked disgusting body, we finally have a major film that is stating what is obvious to 60% of the country and 80% of the world. Whether or not this film will reach the 500,000 people in a half a dozen so called Battleground States, is anybody’s guess.

    How this blight on human society can even be in the running for dog catcher, let alone the most powerful person in the world, is an abomination. We can only hope this makes a difference.

  10. and the piece of shit Billionaire who financed it, is furious and trying to kill it.

  14. Now they need to secure a distributor and get this film out in American theaters before November!

  17. Do people at Canned measure success by the duration of standing ovations?

  18. This is by the same guy who testified in the congressional J6 hearings?

  19. >The movie is certainly explosive. It portrays Trump as a striver, who falls under Cohn’s influence as he struggles to deal with a racial discrimination lawsuit from the Justice Department over how his family real estate business treats Black applicants for its apartment complex. There’s a lot in here that should upset Trump and his supporters. He’s depicted raping Ivana, abusing amphetamines in order to lose weight (then getting tummy tug with a hair implants chaser), and cutting deals with underworld figures so Trump Tower can move forward as planned. He also fails to pay bills and makes a bad bet on a Jersey City casino (so much for “The Art of the Deal”). There’s also a scene where Cohn grips Trump’s leg suggestively under the table that may not play so well at the Mar-a-Lago screening room.

  20. yeah I’m so sick and tired of things not being polarized and politicized /s

  21. I remember when this film was first announced as going into production – over on instagram there were a lot of trumplandians who assumed they were going to give Trump some kind of hero portrayal just because Sebastian Stan was cast as the lead.

  24. I’m not interested in giving this clown any more attention good or bad. It’s a hard pass from me on movies like this until he’s dead.

  26. Make movies political again? Clearly they haven’t seen minions 4.

  28. Anyone know if this movie shows how Trump is a piece of shit or is this a shitty movie that glorifies him?

  29. You couldn’t pay me enough to watch a movie about this waste of oxygen

  30. Aren’t viewers required to give a standing ovation at any early viewing of a film?

  31. They just had to add in the part about him leading in the polls 🙄

    Really sick of the media hyping up all the polls that have him leading and ignoring the ones that have him losing.
