MAGA Made a Nicole Kidman AMC Ad Parody, for Some Reason
Vulture • • entertainment
Key Points:
- The White House released an AI-generated parody video of the Nicole Kidman AMC Theatres ad on August 3, titled “Silence your cell phones. Sit back. Welcome to the Golden Age,” which appeared several years after the original and multiple previous parodies.
- The video features a faceless avatar in casual MAGA attire replacing Kidman’s iconic figure, set in an abandoned White House rather than a movie palace, with AI-generated visuals and a Trump-themed narrative.
- The parody recasts the original ad’s tone into a political message emphasizing MAGA themes, national unity, and remaking history, ending with a “MAGA” logo styled like the AMC font.
- The video has been criticized as predictable partisan provocation, seen as an attempt to provoke Democrats by parodying a cultural moment regarded as sacred among liberals.
