Sometimes life imitates art. Sometimes art imitates life. Sometimes Trump imitates Twitter.
During a disastrous speech in Pennsylvania, Republican Babadook Donald Trump ranted about “crazy” Bernie Sanders, “disloyal” Hillary Clinton, “bleached tweets,” his history on The Apprentice, and his thought on movies today:
“Right now, you say to your wife: ‘Let’s go to a movie after Trump.’ But you won’t do that because you’ll be so high and so excited that no movie is going to satisfy you. Okay? No movie. You know why? Honestly? Because they don’t make movies like they used to — is that right?”
And maybe you think this dig at movies came out of nowhere. But it may have been the result of Trump self-googling.

Miley's character in Small Screen Woody's "TV" show sounds like a prototypical Crazy Bernie supporter! Annoying!

It might not be the popular thing to say, ok? But Mad Max: Fury Road was a boring hyperkinetic mess! Critics fooled again! Sad!

I was against the Iraq War! If they'd listened to me, no one would've had to sit through The Hurt Locker!

And of course:
Absolutely nothing good playing this weekend! They don't make movies like they used to - is that right?
