The man sitting next to Trump is his mentor, one of the most horrible people who ever lived, Roy Cohn.

Here is a review from Entertainment Weekly, which gives it a B+.

The first thing that stands out to me is that they got a ruggedly handsome, well dressed man to play him, instead of a fat blob, with freakishly weird hair, and a bald spot. So unrealistic.

Apparently he gets fatter and uglier as the movie progresses.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

LOL, that's a nice touch, but he's never been fit or handsome, not even as a young man.

This movie sounds like the tell-all that helps explain the origin of the worst president in US history. Can't wait to see it.

I wonder how it will stack up against the W movie

After Succession, I'm so looking forward to watching Jeremy Strong play another sleazy businessman.

Somewhat unrelated, what the fuck is up with Lemmy not auto-loading YouTube thumbnails on new posts? I have to fetch the thumbnail PNG image each time, and not everybody knows how to do that. This is not a problem with any other link type.

Lemmy has had a weird relationship with YouTube for a long time. For a while, it was doing the auto-description in various languages that seemed to change over time. I'm sure it's entirely on YouTube's end.

[-] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

It's not. I can easily pull the thumbnail image of any YouTube video. Same with yt-dlp.

For some reason, Lemmy can't figure out this simple template: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VIDEO_ID/hq720.jpg
