We come to this place \u2026 five years after literally everyone else. In a real head-scratcher moment of publicity from our nation\u2019s capital, the White House released an AI-generated parody video of the famous Nicole Kidman AMC Theatres<\/a> ad. The official Trump White House YouTube channel posted the video on August 3 under the title \u201cSilence your cell phones. Sit back. Welcome to the Golden Age.\u201d At only one minute and four seconds long, one wonders how long they\u2019ve been working on this, or why they would choose to parody the \u201cWe come to this place for magic\u201d spiel (replacing \u201cmagic\u201d with \u201cMAGA\u201d) now, five years after the original debuted, four years after Saturday Night Live parodied it in 2021, and a few years after Gritty<\/a>, Morgan Freeman<\/a>, and countless drag queens<\/a> put their own spins on it. My theory is that a staffer went to see The Odyssey<\/a> and thought Kidman\u2019s pre-roll was part of the movie? Sing, O Muse, of dazzling images on a huge silver screen.<\/p>\n The video begins with a clunky AI re-creation of Kidman\u2019s stiletto heel cinematically stepping in a neon-lit puddle, only her glamorous heel has been replaced with all-white NPC sneakers. Instead of an Australian enchantress in an iconic pinstripe suit, we now have a bland, faceless avatar rocking a no-visitation-rights depressed-dad \u2019fit: a gray hoodie, tactical sweatshorts, and a red \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d cap that you can tell he bought cheap from Temu because the casing on the letters is wrong. Instead of a movie palace, it\u2019s the People\u2019s House. \u201cWe come to this place for MAGA. To fight, fight, fight and win, win, win. Because we need that, all of us,\u201d he says, walking through an abandoned White House after dark.<\/p>\n \u201cThe indescribable feeling we get when we hear the national anthem and stand together stronger than ever before,\u201d he says. He\u2019s in what appears to be the overly gilded hallway of a cheap wedding-banquet hall in deep Queens. He walks by an AI-mangled painting of Trump in his famous raised-fist pose and enters an empty ballroom, where he watches some B-roll of Trump doing stuff. \u201cWe aren\u2019t just watching history. We\u2019re remaking it,\u201d AI Trump he says. Eventually, after a line about how \u201cwe don\u2019t do heartbreak,\u201d Trump creeps up behind the faceless man in the darkened hall and a \u201cMAGA\u201d logo in AMC font appears with the tagline, \u201cWelcome to the Golden Age.\u201d<\/p>\n Ultimately, this video is bog-standard Democrat rage-bait. Reciting along to the Kidman AMC video in a congregation of moviegoers is the closest thing that secular liberals have to religious ritual, making this parody tantamount to sacrilege. Heartbreak feels exhausting in a place like this.<\/p>\n Sign up for the Vulture Daily<\/p>\n An entertainment newsletter for the pop-culture obsessed.<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
