(X)…The semi-big news over the weekend was that canceled Hollywood filmmaker Brett Ratner has been tapped to direct an authorized documentary about Melania Trump for Amazon Prime.  It’s worth noting, as the blog Hollywood in Toto reminds us, that there was another documentary about the incoming first lady that was released in 2020. The 57-minute “Looking for Melania Trump” is available for free online.  I gather it's not a flattering portrait…Speaking of Melania, I stumbled across this 16-minute clip of her and The Donald in their first prime time interview with CNN’s Larry King from 2005.
