Not here for Melania.

HOLLYWOOD IS IN OPEN REVOLT. In a SCATHING public condemnation, cinematic master Paul Thomas Anderson and Radiohead genius Jonny Greenwood have BLASTED the creators of the flailing Melania documentary for a SHOCKING act of artistic theft. The filmmakers have been CAUGHT RED-HANDED illegally using Greenwood’s haunting Phantom Thread score—a piece of art about obsessive, tortured love—to prop up a tawdry political puff piece. This isn’t just a licensing error; it’s a VIOLENT DESECRATION of art for cheap propaganda. “Universal FAILED to consult Jonny… a BREACH of his agreement,” their statement thunders, exposing a studio system so corrupt it will SELL ANY SOUL for a dollar, even to Trumpworld. The composer of the Melania score, Tony Neiman, is hiding in SILENCE.
But the REAL scandal is the STAGGERING HYPOCRISY on display. Amazon paid a reported $75 million for this box-office DISASTER, which has scraped together a pitiful $13 million. They BURN mountains of cash to whitewash a controversial figure while simultaneously ROBBING actual artists. They used the music of a film that explored complex, human obsession to soundtrack a documentary about a famously detached and opaque public figure—a juxtaposition so morally bankrupt it DEFIES belief. This is where we are: our greatest art is being CANNIBALIZED to launder the reputations of the powerful. The haunting melody of Phantom Thread now echoes in a hollow tomb of cynical manipulation, proving that in today’s culture, NOTHING is sacred.
