Sarah Palin: The Movie
Via Real Clear Politics:
The fruits of that initial conversation are now complete. The result is a two-hour-long, sweeping epic, a rough cut of which Bannon screened privately for Sarah and Todd Palin last Wednesday in Arizona, where Alaska's most famous couple has been rumored to have purchased a new home. When it premieres in Iowa next month, the film is poised to serve as a galvanizing prelude to Palin's prospective presidential campaign -- an unconventional reintroduction to the nation that she and her political team have spent months eagerly anticipating, even as Beltway Republicans have largely concluded that she won't run.
RealClearPolitics was recently given an exclusive screening of a rough cut of the now finished film, which Bannon designed, in part, to help catapult Palin from the presidential afterthought she has become in the eyes of many pundits directly to the front lines of the 2012 GOP conversation.Palin initially learned about Bannon's work after she saw one of his previous films about the origins of the tea party movement, "Generation Zero," which premiered last year in Nashville and was later aired in prime time on the Fox News Channel. Impressed, Palin promoted "Generation Zero" via Twitter before later reaching out to Bannon about creating something to highlight her record in Alaska, where her performance in office was overshadowed by her resignation eight months after the 2008 presidential election.
We can only hope it does as well as Atlas Shrugged did at the box office.
Atlas Shrugged at least has some historical value to it. I hope Sarah's latest vanity project doesn't even get screens in most theaters. All it could serve as is an unintentional cautionary tale for children.
That's odd, I didn't know "sweeping epics" ended in miserable failures.
Atlas Shrugged, and so did the audience.
Or even better yet, the movie is actually seen by many because it is a virtual train wreck.
If this movie is bad enough I can see it replacing the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" as the number one cult classic!

Who would pay money to see a 'movie' about Miss Sarah, when you can see a much better version of her on SNL for free?! Wonder if she had to suck Dickie Morris' toes to get the deal?

I hear that 45 minutes into the 2-hour movie, the screenplay quits. I also hear they had trouble getting the film into the projector -- something about an unfit leader...
Good one, even though only about 3 people here got it!

two hours of anything Palin is just to painful. McCain f'd up and released the monster and now, fittingly, she moving to Arizona for his job.... way to go dumbass.
Despite my pre-release interest, I was never able to watch more than 15 minutes of "W". The fucker was GONE, and I found I couldn't stomach even a good actor imitating him anymore. Now they think I'm going to watch a movie about this screeching harpy? I don't think so.

It'll be released in the primary states to coincide with a DVD / pay-per-view distribution deal, which like "Best Sellers" in books will be purchased in bulk by American Enterprise, et. all.
It'll get talked about endlessly on MSNBC and FOX until CNN and then the morning and Sunday shows will pick-up the thread. Finally, FOX will "debut" the "documentary" timed to make the most impact on the election cycle.
Produced by Citizens United, with distribution by Koch Industries, Halliburton, Exxon-Mobil, Goldman Sachs, and News Corp. No one will go to a theater to see this, that's not the point. Did anyone watch the Citizens United documentary about Hillary Clinton? ...Just sayin'.
...with a touch of "Monster".
they actually expect people to pay to see this crap?
I hope they are not expecting my money 'cause it isn't coming.

I have never understood the fascination with her. I usually turn the channel if there is something about her. I definitely won't pay to go to a propaganda piece.

In the Navy, I saw syphilus-wracked pier side hookers with more smarts and class than Sarah Palin. I can't see her do her insipid wink with out also hearing her say, "Yoohoo...Sailor boy....".
How can it be titled Undefeated? She lost the biggest election and really the only one that matters. This is the biggest example of doublespeak I've ever seen. It's amazing how some people didn't get the warnings in 1984 and instead see it as a playbook.
if you pass over that one shes only 'undefeated' because she QUIT. low value low budget flick for low iq voters. not much else to be said for it. except i bet theres a f-ton of stupid quotes suddenly available for use :P

If only Newt's spokesfool could be the narrator, then it would become a cult classic comedy of epic proportions.

Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
Das Bitch
Highlighting her record in Alaska, highlights the hypocritical sell-out she is. This supposedly christian, supposed traditionalist, VETOED a bill banning gay marriage while governor, and she passed a huge oil tax/royalty increase. The woman is a total fraud, for sale to the highest bidder.
When I read the title of this film, "The Undefeated," in regard to partial-term former governor Sarah Palin, the film I really think of is "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."
Specifically, I'm remembering the scene where King Arthur is fighting the Black Knight, and chops off the character's arm.
"'Tis but a flesh wound," insists the Black Knight, and continues fighting until Arthur has hacked off his three remaining limbs.
Even then, the Black Knight remains "undefeated"... at least in his own addled brain.
I prefer "Wasilla vs. the Smug Monster".
Anyway, you can't be defeated if you quit in the middle of the game.

Hope they infringed the copyright of 1969 movie with same title starring John Wayne and Rock Hudson.
... does this woman want to be POTUS? I can't imagine that it's for any altruistic "I can do some good for America" reasons. She was elected governor of Alaska, and then evidently decided the job was too hard and/or no fun. She thinks being President has to be more fun than being a governor? I'm sure she thinks the perqs are better, but if she just wants the job for the perqs, she just needs to go away, and the sooner the better.
they made a movie about palin already, titled,

Couldn't resist, after reading the Monty Python reference regarding the Black Knight. But there's more to this story. The "epic" is scheduled for release in Iowa. Following that, it goes to New Hampshire and South Carolina and Nevada. See a pattern there? The movie itself is a propaganda piece, a looooong "commercial" that begs the disappointed and desperate Tea Partiers to "draft" Palin into running for President. Palin is too comfy to drop her Fox contract without some "pre-approval" by a faction of the GOP. By all indications, the GOP candidates are only in it for the potential income following their loss (other than Romney). Income from speaking engagements, endorsements, books, monetized internet content, etc. It's a pretty lucrative business these days just to run, unless you're a Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum. Actually, Santorum has likely raised his market value. But the point is, Palin actually wants to run for President but everyone in the establishment is yelling NO! So, she's got the ultimate capitalist plan. She has no "investment" in the movie, yet she can profit in multiple ways. She can't "lose" by any noticeable measure because it's scheduled for release as "on-demand" and you just know liberals and nutjobs alike will order it out of curiousity. It won't be a total fail because it starts out as extremely limited release like "exclusive" showings. So small crowds of viewers aren't unexpected. It's actually a rather brilliant marketing strategy that could result in a big thorn for the GOP. If the Tea Party react as they normally do, they'll assume the "establishment" is trying to silence Palin which makes her their hero. They'll order the on-demand, they'll fawn over the propaganda and they'll draft Palin. And that "could" make Palin the first Woman nominated for President by either party. As Donald Trump would say, "That's YUUUUUGE!"
Run, you vile bucket of turkey shit, please run.Anybody with half a brain knows this idiot has no intention of running for POTUS because of one reason and it's a big one. If this lame brain does run she knows full well that the media won't be very kind to her, because, after they ask Palin any tough questions they won't tolerate any of Sarah's STUPID Jibberish that only she can understand, so, please SISTER SLUDGE, PLEASE RUN!

This half-term politician, professional nitwit is clearly savvy to raking in the bucks, kudos. Its really about the gullibility of the average American voter that knows the channel for Idol and Football but knows not where his tax money goes. Wailin' Palin should by all means run for Preznit. I wanna hear the debates with Obama.
The Palin Propoganda Machine is coming to a theater near you! This makes me wish the rapture had of occurred over the weekend. As reckless as Palin is with her mouth, I don’t want to see what she does with a full length film. Sex sells so cross your fingers for a nude shower scene! Mamma Grizzly’s rhetoric is predominately negative and continues to lower the world’s expectations of our government and society.
