Todd Palin is confronted by Alaskan in Iowa who reminds the Palins that their BS no longer works up here in the Last Frontier.

Courtesy of SF Gate:

As we told you the other day, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hasn't decided yet to run for president.

One big question she will have to answer is why she quit after only two years as governor.The question came up as Palin and husband Todd swooped through the Iowa State Fair the other day. 

A woman, who identified herself as an Alaskan, questioned Todd about why his wife quit. 

He told her to watch "The Undefeated" -- the movie about Palin made by a conservative filmmaker. 

They got into it, and the exchange ended with the woman calling Todd a "sellout."

God I LOVED seeing that.

I cannot believe that Sarah Palin's personal purse valet suggested to this lady that she needed to watch "The Undefeated."

Hey asshole, we are Alaskans!  We don't need to see the movie, we fucking LIVED it!

That is how we know it is a poorly constructed piece of propaganda that NOBODY wanted to attend and which nowadays cannot even attract donations of pet foods in exchange for tickets.

Which is something that Spokane politician Mike Noder discovered the hard way:

Sarah Palin may not be much of a draw in Spokane. 

That’s one conclusion – and a charitable one, at that – to draw from an event a little more than a week ago at The Bing Crosby Theater featuring the new biographical movie about Palin. Planned as a chance to raise money for charities, food for Second Harvest Food Bank and pet supplies for Spokanimal, it was a disappointment, said organizer Mike Noder. 

Unsure how much it might bring in, and unwilling to run afoul of the state Public Disclosure Commission, he didn’t want to collect money for his low-cost mayoral campaign. But he offered hold the screening and collect for some local charities. 

Admission was free, with would-be watchers urged to bring food or pet supplies or donate to charity. 

“People responding were kind of vicious,” Noder said. Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery wanted no part of the gig and the Food Bank wouldn’t bring down donation barrels, he said. 

The movie, which aired on a Thursday night, didn’t draw a big crowd. Noder estimated it at 50, although others thought it might’ve been half that. The Northeast Community Center Youth Group got the door receipts. The Food Bank got some donations and a plastic grocery bag of food. Spokanimal got some donations and a couple cases of cat food. 

Noder actually got less than nothing: “My web traffic dropped. The association was not good for my campaign.” 

Time to face reality "Tawd." Alaskans know you and your wife pathetic quitters, clearly movie audiences know you are pathetic quitters, and the number of American voters who know you are pathetic quitters is growing everyday.

Bill Maher's New Rule is that the Left needs its own version of the "looney-toon" Teabaggers.

Palin propagandist Stephen Bannon was on the panel last night, and he spent much of the time representing the Teabagger's complete ignorance of how government, politics, and math work. He attempted to attack President Obama several times and to blame the financial crisis on the Democrats and his policy decisions. 

The other guests, Joan Walsh, Dr. Neal deGrasse Tyson, and even chef Anthony Bourdain, kept having to correct the poor imbecile and explain to him exactly why he should have been paying attention in his Civics class instead of staring at the cheerleaders' pom poms.

By the way his celluloid embarrassment,  "The Undefeated," was ONLY mentioned one time.  And that was when Maher was introducing him to the audience.

Now why would Bannon go on a highly rated HBO program and NOT mention the Sarah Palin movie that supposedly he is so very proud of creating? 

(H/T to Mediaite.)

From the "Why didn't somebody think of this before?" file. Chicago Palin-bot just rents the damn theater and shows "The Undefeated" himself!

Courtesy of Time Out Chicago:

It was, for a Democrat-dominated city, a sight as rare as lush trees in the remote Alaskan tundra: a room packed with self-avowed Palinistas. The conservative baby cubs came to a rented theater at the Gene Siskel Film Center on July 23 to suckle at the teat of their “Mama Grizzly” during the first (and, so far, only) Chicago screening of The Undefeated, writer-director Stephen K. Bannon’s unabashed love letter to the onetime vice presidential nominee.

“I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t know if there’s any thought in Illinois. Wasn’t Quinn the running mate of the guy we just convicted?” William Kelly sounded off. The conservative commentator and erstwhile Illinois comptroller candidate ponied up the cash for the theater rental. “If I have to rent out every theater in town so people will see this film, I’ll do it,” said Kelly, only half joking.

See? This movie CAN TOO fill up theater seats!

All you have to do is find ONE guy with deep pockets to rent the theater and show it for free. Isn't that how Star Wars got to be such a blockbuster?  Or wait, maybe that was Deep Throat?

Well I am sure that the people who enjoy this movie are just your regular, every day Americans. (Just like the ones that enjoyed Deep Throat.)

 Nearby, a gentleman in his sixties, wearing a “Palin 2012” T-shirt and carrying a tote bag emblazoned with Palin’s face, discussed his lack of surprise at being surrounded by so many like-minded people. 

“You think this area should be so Democratic and so Obama, and it is to a certain extent,” said the man, a member of Organize4Palin who goes by the nickname Super Yoni. “But there are more of us out there than you know.”

The Illinois branch of Organize4Palin numbers about 100 members, one of the group’s coordinators, Whitney Zahnd, told me. The 28-year-old health-care researcher made the drive from Springfield in her Organize4Palin tee emblazoned with a bear and the slogan “Get your grrr on.”

Okay well maybe "regular, everyday Americans" was kind of a stretch.

But it is not like they are a bunch of shut ins with no social skills or ability to conduct themselves properly in public. Right?

In short time, the chatter grew to a Mama Grizzly roar. A theater employee gently announced to the crowd, “You’re going to have to take your conversation outside.”

Oh.  Well I certainly hope that during their little field trip away from the facility they were not confronted with anything that would disturb their fantasies about Sarah Palin's popularity or demonstrate to them just how far out on the fringe their faith in the Mama Grizzly was to those living in the REAL world.


On the sidewalk, the Palinistas were disheartened, though not stunned, at what they saw. Across the street, the Chicago Theatre’s marquee announced that night’s sold-out show: Bill Maher, the lefty political comedian who famously called their political idol a “dumb twat.”

Now THAT is why it is always so much safer for Palin-bots to just to stay in their mother's basement, where the Cheetos are plentiful, they can troll liberal blogs uninterrupted for hours, and the television is always tuned to QVC.

The epic defeat of "The Undefeated."

You know sometimes an image is almost all that you need to make your point.

This film was doomed from the start, which anybody who was really in Alaska, and knew about Sarah Palin's time as governor, could have easily predicted.  In fact I do believe that I did.

However besides simply indicating how bad this movie was, it is also an indication of how truly inconsequential the Palin-bots have become.  After all they both begged and threatened people to get them to go see this film, and virtually NOBODY responded.

It is very hard NOT to see this as a dry run for Palin's Presidential campaign.

If she does declare in September I have little doubt that the result will look very much like the box office results pictured above. In other words, in the immortal words of my daughter, it will be another EPIC FAIL!

(H/T to Box Office Mojo.)

Update: It looks like Malia wrote something about this as well.

Having run out of theaters willing to show Palin's pathetic propaganda film, now her supporters have taken to showing it in their homes! Can we change the name of the film now?

Yet another hat tip to Azure Ghost, who I imagine NEVER thought her poster would come in this handy!

From the Sea O'Pee (Where else?):

Toni Hagen of Mason City will be hostess for three showings Saturday of a new political film, “The Undefeated,” which promotes former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

The film had its premiere in Pella last month with Palin in attendance.

Hagen, a volunteer with a grassroots effort called Organize4Palin, has an advance copy of the film for private screenings and will be showing it at her home in Mason City at 10 a.m., 2 p.m., and 6 p.m. Saturday.

I can hear Ms. Hagen's pitch now: "This film is the greatest celluloid epic in this, or any other, century.  And if you don't believe me, come over to my house where I will be showing it on a white bed sheet tacked to the wall of my family room."

You know I wonder if the Palin-bots even take the time to stop and think before they put up a post like this?

I mean come on, you people are not even making this challenging for me anymore!

Update: Well now we know why they have to show the film at their teabagging neighborhood block parties.  "The Undefeated" is down 60.5% at the box office this week.

I guess all of that begging and threatening was just NOT enough to get anybody to waste two hours of their precious life watching this steaming pile of moose shit.

Update 2: You know I think Palin might seriously be having a nervous breakdown. Check out this newest tweet:


@BarackObama you're wrong, threatening to throw seniors under the bus because you refuse to prioritize govt spending.Time to #womanup & lead
52 minutes ago via web

Does this lunatic REALLY believe that Obama pays even the slightest bit of attention to her?

You know I wonder if this is the first time that a person's psychotic episode was captured on Twitter?

You might be able to fool the general public about the success of the Palin propaganda film "The Undefeated," but you CAN'T fool the movie critics!

From Box Office Mojo:

Normally, a movie with such poor box office would not receive story coverage on Box Office Mojo, but the furor over The Undefeated calls for an injection of truth.

Even before The Undefeated bottomed out in its second weekend, the movie was a bust in its first weekend, but its boosters latched onto two stats: per-theater average and ranking among political documentaries. The classic tactics of movie spin include bragging about per-theater average and declaring a high ranking in a niche category. The funny thing is that Undefeated's opening didn't rate highly on either front, making the spin extra-egregious.

Within the minor political documentary sub-genre, The Undefeated's $6,532 opening weekend per-theater average ranked 33rd out of the 91 limited openings tracked over the past 30 years, normalized for ticket price inflation. Among all documentaries, it was in the middle of the pack. Hardly worthy of hyperbole. Even if it had little to no advertising, Undefeated had far more media coverage than most other political documentaries and independent releases could ever dream of. The awareness was there.

Undefeated boosters ran with the notion that the movie's opening had the "second highest per-theater average of the weekend, behind only Harry Potter," but the movie was actually sixth in that metric. They also latched onto a press release about how The Undefeated averaged "above $11,000 in top markets." But averages are naturally higher in top markets (that's why they're "top markets") and, without context (how it compared to other movies' grosses in those markets), that was a meaningless statistic.

It's extremely myopic to believe that having one of the higher per-theater averages on a given weekend means a movie is a success, and The Undefeated's second weekend bore that out. Indeed, "per-theater average" is one of the most overrated stats. For limited releases, the most receptive locations are cherry-picked with the purpose to impress with a high per-theater average in order to book more markets. The fewer the theaters, the easier it is to have a higher average.

To put these numbers into further perspective: The Undefeated's ten theaters on opening weekend yielded 159 showings. Using the current average ticket price of $7.86, that means the movie played to an estimated 52 people per average showing or at about one-fifth to one-quarter capacity. In the movie's second weekend, which had 211 showings, the per-showing average attendance dropped to 15.

Damn, I like how this guy Brandon Gray left absolutely NO doubt that this movie was an unmitigated disaster. 


Not really much argument left is there?


Which makes THIS, seem just that much more pathetic.



The path to the White House runs through the theaters across America showing this film.

We need to sell those theaters out! No more excuses, no more complaints. Let’s show the world why we support her. Show them this film! We need your help to make this happen. We can’t sit silently anymore. Now we must act.

Special incentives:

Each Youth For Palin's Youth Brigade member will receive special rewards including $$ compensation and/or a donation to our group (your choice). special recognition, and other items.

Game On!

Personally I think that any parent who encourages their child to pimp this move for Snowdrift Snooki should be brought up on charges of child abuse.


It finally dawned on me who the Palin-bots who are refusing to see the writing on the walls about Palin's pathetic propaganda piece remind me of.  They remind me of those Japanese soldiers who stayed at their posts for decades because they did not realize the war was over.

Team Sarah is now DEMANDING that their members FORCE their friends and family to attend Sarah Palin's propaganda film "The Undefeated." Just buy a ticket Mom, and nobody has to get hurt!

With full credit for the graphic once again to Azure Ghost.

 This was sent to my e-mail from my favorite mole over at Team Sarah.

I will try to recreate it exactly as it appears in the e-mail, including the screaming capitalization's and histrionic changes in font size, just so you can get the full, batshit crazy effect.

A message to all members of Team Sarah

Team,

The movie, The Undefeated, faces an onslaught of the same kind of “invalidation” that Sarah Palin faces from the media establishment.

For those who have been out promoting the movie, and trying to get people in the cities where it is showing to BUY TICKETS NOW, this has been quite a journey.

Movies, ALL movies, have their ups and downs, but you can bet that when The Undefeated has its “ups” the media will ignore that and when it has its “downs” the media will over-hype it, as if “it’s all over because of a bad day!”

Everyone knows that "success" is never a straight line!

The fight to make sure people KNOW the truth about how the ESTABLISHMENT treats ordinary Americans who rise to leadership is only just beginning!

Just because you don't live in a city where the movie is currently playing does not mean you CANNOT HELP! Email teamsarahhq@gmail.com to see how you can help as a virtual ambassador!

Whoever thinks this is going to be easy, here's the truth. IT CANNOT BE EASY!

The stakes are too high!

The opposition is DESPERATE to discredit all that we stand up for!

Hard, however, is not IMPOSSIBLE.

What kind of country do you want to leave your children, one where the values of a Tina Fey rule or one where the values of Sarah Palin are strong?

WHAT WE DO NOW will potentially decide how that question is answered!

How much can you do, how far out of your comfort zone can you go, for your children's future?

Here's what is needed: we need to get people to come to these theaters and we need to beat back the liberal narrative. WE CAN DO this because we MUST do it!

Here’s the WHOLE point of all this- We need EVERYONE in EACH CITY to focus on getting 25 people to come to the movie TOMORROW and THURSDAY!

TICKETS are available here,

IF you live in any of the cities where this movie is showing, or within 100 miles, then WE NEED YOU! If you DON'T live near these cities, we STILL need you!

EMAIL teamsarahhq@gmail.com and we will send you our own information pack!

The movie IS coming to DVD, but even if millions of the DVD’s are sold, the media will STILL try to use whatever WE DO at the box office as a measure of success. COUNT ON IT!

We need to ask people we know in those cities to COME!

Don’t ask, tell! What I mean is, call your buddy up and say, “you’re going to this movie, OK? It’s a done deal, I need you to go.’ Don’t be shy. Imagine your children’s future depends on it.

WE NEED-

CITY HOSTS who live near the cities where the movie is being launched. More cities are being added, so just email and we will put you on a list when the movie comes your way....

VIRTUAL AMBASSADORS- people who can help with social media and making phone calls. You don’t have to LIVE in a city to RECRUIT for that city!

WANT TO LEARN MORE?

 Wow!  I mean, wow! That was just, wow!

Well thank God they are not panicking anything, right?  Just imagine how much worse it would be if they lost faith in their idol's ability to draw a crowd on her own and they felt they had to FORCE PEOPLE TO GO TO HER MOVIE! 

I mean seriously?  Who tells their friends and loved ones that they either go see this movie or else?

You know I was worried before, but now I think we are actually seeing the mental breakdown of the Palin-bots playing out in real time.

When she breaks the bad news about not running for President to them, they are going to lose their shit!

Movie critic asks why did they release Sarah Palin propaganda film in theaters, if they were just going to put it on Pay-Per-View anyway? He must be new to the world of the Palin-bots.

If people will not go to see Sarah Palin's film "The Undefeated" in theaters, then they will just have to take the propaganda to them.

From Fox Nation:

ARC Entertainment, the distributor of “The Undefeated,” the film about Gov. Sarah Palin’s rise from obscurity to national prominence, announced today that beginning on September 1st the film will be available to 75 million homes via Video on Demand and Pay-Per-View access through national and regional cable and satellite operators. The DVD will launch on October 4th and will be available at traditional and online retailers nationwide. ARC is estimating its initial unit shipment to be approximately 250,000 units. A “Special Edition” DVD will contain additional new content and will only be sold in Walmart stores. ARC will continue to expand the limited engagement theatrical release nationwide throughout August and September as demand across the country remains high.

Trevor Drinkwater, CEO of ARC Entertainment, said, “Since the film opened in select markets across the country on July 15th we have been inundated with requests from people wanting the film to be made available in their market. After methodically analyzing the most effective ways to bring this galvanizing film to the widest audience as soon as possible we have determined that continued limited theatrical distribution, Video-on-Demand, Pay-Per-View and DVD sales will be the best modalities by which to deliver this film as widely as possible. We have created partnerships with national cable, satellite and mass retailers to achieve our distribution goals.”

"Inundated with requests" from people wanting to see this film?  Really?


Courtesy of Think Progress:

The Undefeated, the much-hyped Palin documentary, bombed during its second week in theaters, bringing in just $24,000 in ticket sales across 14 screens. The movie’s per theater average, touted as a relative bright spot by promoters, plummeted from $6,513 to $1,713, according to estimates by the industry website Box Office Mojo.

Essentially "The Undefeated" is demonstrating the irony of its name by plummeting even faster than Palin's Presidential possibilities, having added four new theaters this weekend but still losing 63.2% of its ticket buyers. That is not just a defeat, that is an obliteration!

However like any good Palin-bot this dose of reality has not managed to pierce the rose colored fantasy world that apparently envelops directer Stephen Bannon:

Filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon stated, “Given the strong audience reaction we have determined there is overwhelming demand for us to get this film out broadly enough to cover the entire nation in September and October. In a 90-day period from August to November we will be able to effectively cover the nation through multiple distribution modalities.”



You know if I were the cynical sort I might think that Bannon was in a state of panic, and desperately trying to find some new venues to hawk this stinker before he  loses his shirt and forever destroys his reputation due to this albatross of a film.


You know, if I were the cynical sort that is.

Stephen Colbert believes that Harry Potter and Sarah Palin films would make a GREAT double feature. You know that might be the only plausible way to get anybody to watch "The Undefeated."

Inside the Palin HQ as the launch of "The Undefeated" fails.

For those of you who sent this to me today, I am sorry it took me so long to post it, but I was a wee busy.

For those who have NOT watched it yet, drop everything and have a seat, because this video is HYSTERICAL!

Inside Palin Campaign HQ - Launch of 'The Undefeated' Fails from Moosehelmet Films on Vimeo.

Now that was very well done!

Perhaps this is why the makers of "The Undefeated" will not be showing their Sarah Palin propaganda film in Alaska.

One of the members of our IM community took a recent trip to Alaska.

While visiting Skagway, she happened to see this rather decorative automobile.

You see the Palin-bots can peddle their Sarah Palin revisionist history all they want down in the Lower 48, but Alaskans know EXACTLY who Sarah Palin is.

And we also know that she eats poop.

Dipping my toe in the Sea O'Pee. Where the crazy train is always just entering the station.

I am always receiving links from visitors to alert me to crazy Sarah Palin stories, or bizarre goings on from her supporters.

"Hey Gryph, you have to see this!"

"Gryphen wait until you see what they are doing now!"

But I am rarely impressed.  After all by now I have pretty much seen it all.

I mean for God's sake, the woman chased me out into a parking lot to write down my license plate number!

When it comes to Sarah Palin I have seen me some crazy.

Or so I thought.

This was the link that I was sent about two days ago. (Before you click that link make sure you hang onto to something solid, because the complete lack of reality can be somewhat unsettling.)

Here is a sample of what I am talking about just so you don't think that I'm exaggerating:

Speaking of light, The Undefeated premieres tomorrow. Governor Palin’s supporters have been looking forward to this day. So have others who, though not supporters, have a genuine appreciation for the truth. Some people, however, don’t share that same enthusiasm or respect for facts. On the contrary, they despise it.

They’re panicking.

In typical roach fashion, as the light of Governor Palin’s record is about to shine brightly for all to see, they’re scurrying like roaches. Running in every direction, they’re doing everything in their power to avoid exposure. Light brings revelation, and they cannot handle revelation. It destroys what they’ve worked so hard to achieve. They’ve created, encouraged, and feasted on lies, and they’ve relied on never being found out. Everything seemed to be working in their favor, too. They had the left, some on the right, and the mainstream media in their corner, aiding and abetting their sinister deeds. They are the left, some on the right, and the mainstream media, in most cases. They did not have the foresight to imagine that the truth would emerge in the form of a Stephen Bannon documentary which would destroy their false narratives and outright lies. They expected these to forever go undetected as they chewed away at the Governor’s record and future. They thought they’d have the freedom, like roaches in the night, to roam and eat undisturbed, that she would at least go away and not come back. It’s taken them a while to figure it out, but as they have become increasingly aware that they were wrong, that the light has come and opened eyes and enlightened minds, they’re panicking.

Why do I say this?

We have been anticipating the release of The Undefeated for some time now. We’ve been waiting, getting the word out, expecting this film to be a definite game-changer. In the meantime, reviews have been written, interviews have been conducted, and previous skeptics have admitted that their opinion of Governor Palin changed upon learning the facts presented in the screening.

I can read your mind right about now, tell me if I am wrong.


Right now you are shaking your head and thinking "WTF?" Am I right? I knew it!

Right after that you might have asked yourself "Just WHAT kind of medication is this person was on?" And perhaps even wondered if you could get you some, because baby it MUST be the shit!

Well whatever these people are on it has taken them to an entirely different reality than the one that we are all currently experiencing.

Here is how the film critics are ACTUALLY responding to this film, courtesy of Politico:

The reviews are in on the Sarah Palin documentary, and they are not kind.

The pro-Palin film “The Undefeated” opened in 10 midsized American cities Friday to a chorus of boos from professional film critics.

Reviewers — not generally a conservative lot — faulted its one-sided portrayal of Palin’s rise to power in Alaska and national prominence.

New York magazine’s David Edelstein said he really tried to like the film. “I swear I gave ‘The Undefeated’ a chance, because who wants to writhe in agony for two hours?” he wrote. “I hoped that Director Stephen K. Bannon would show a side of Sarah Palin I’d never seen — I thought it would be so cool if I could give the movie a rave. But it’s a straight hagiography, without nuance or ambiguity, or the admission of opposing viewpoints — even those meant to be dismantled.”

Other reviewers also were quick to call the film propaganda.

Time magazine’s Richard Corliss wrote that the director “applies so much idolatrous air brushing to his portrait of the Divine Sarah that the movie might be called ‘Going Rouge.’”

Later in the review, Corliss added, “The movie may tempt even the most ardent conservatives to emulate their idol’s tenure as governor and walk out halfway through.” 

The response of the critics was not the only indication that the film was doomed. The lack of asses in seats is the REAL barometer for determining a movie's success.  And guess what?

Undefeated grossed $60,000 to $75,000, meaning a per-screen average of $6,000 or $7,500, the measure by which limited openings are judged. A screen average below $10,000 is considered mediocre.


You know that is the problem with cockroaches.  Just when you expect them to scurry away, instead they stand their ground, look you in the eye, and tell you that your idol is a fake and that the ridiculous film you thought would make everybody love her is a steaming pile of moosecrap.

The smell of Palin-bot desperation.

Courtesy of Indiana's Channel 4:

While Steve Bannon's documentary, "Undefeated", opened in Indianapolis Friday to a very small audience, its viewers were still enthusiastic.

"We just love Sarah Palin. We think she's a great politician and so we want to see it," said Nancy Pemberton of Indianapolis.

Pemberton was one of a dozen people filing into the AMC Showcase theater on South Meridian Friday afternoon

"We thought she was a great vice presidential candidate and it was just terrible how they had to pull personal issues in that really had nothing to do with being a vice president," said Ron Pemberton of Indianapolis.

Speaking of presidential campaigns, we asked Bannon if his documentary and its timely release was a way to persuade the Republican to throw her hat in the ring.

"I think that will have some element of how much she will get back into elective politics," he said.

Well the possibility that the success of this pathetic piece of propaganda will somehow convince Palin to jump into the 2012 Presidential race, has Palin-bots clinging to it like rats clinging to the last floating sea water saturated life preserver from the Titanic.

In an effort to make all of their "President Palin" wet dreams come true, her supporters have labeled themselves "Mobilizers" and have sent out the following e-mail message to direct their fellow Palin Kool-aid drinkers to pimp this film like crazy before the theater owners yank it out to free up another screen to show the amazingly popular "Harry Potter" movie.

Wow! If the opportunity to be referred to as a "Killer Whale" does not inspire an elderly woman to buy out an entire showing of this film, than I just don't know what would!

Jesus what is wrong with these people?

I have a couple of follow up questions.

Has any other political prick tease EVER asked their supporters to humiliate themselves in this fashion before?

Or asked them to almost literally spend every dime of their meager income in order to line their idol's pockets in such a blatant, and selfish manner?

In other words is Sarah Palin, as I am coming to believe she must be, the most disgusting political grifter in the history of America?

(H/T to Democratic Underground.)

Palin propaganda might sell out in Texas, but in Orange County the movie opens to an empty theater.

Atlantic associate editor Conor Friedersdorf arrived in Orange County for the midnight showing of the Sarah Palin homage "The Undefeated."

Here is his report:

When the clock struck 12:01 am today, AMC theaters in select cities were permitted to start showing "The Undefeated," a feature length documentary about Sarah Palin. As it happens, I'm visiting my parents in Orange County, Calif., home to one of just 10 theaters where the film is being rolled out. Watching it didn't interest me so much as going to interview folks who decided to attend. I figured I'd meet some nice people, perhaps run into someone who knows my grandparents, press five or six Palin fans on why they like her, and convey their worldview. It's my experience that the grassroots doesn't fit the caricature of its champions or its detractors.

At first Friedersdorf believes he has arrived too late to get a good seat because he sees throngs of people lined up at the theaters.  But then he remembers that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-Part Two" is also playing.

As it turns out his concerns about not finding a good seat were completely unfounded.

It isn't strictly accurate to say that I sat through the whole movie alone. Just as the previews started, two young women walked in giggling together and took seats three rows behind me. Afraid that they'd ruined the only story I had at that point -- What If Sarah Palin Starred in a Movie and No One Showed Up? -- I hoped they'd at least oblige me with an interview, and so they did.

Jamie Watkins, 22, is a Missouri native, which qualifies her as a real American. She only recently moved to Southern California, and her little sister, Jessie, age 18, was visiting for the first time.
"So, um, what made you come out here tonight?"

"We're going to Disneyland tomorrow," Jamie said, "but she just got here, so we decided we should go out."

"We looked online for the latest movie playing," Jessie added. "But all the Harry Potters were sold out, and then we saw 'The Undeafeated.' We don't even actually know what we're seeing."

"Well welcome to California," I said. "You're about to see a documentary about Sarah Palin." 

"Oh, really?" they said, and started giggling again. I think they were expecting an action flick. When I returned to my seat, I thought maybe I'd talk to them after the movie, and get the perspective of two people who went in with no expectations. But they only lasted 20 minutes before walking out.

After that, it is strictly accurate to say that the theater was empty, except for me. On screen there were clips of a younger Sarah Palin helping to reform Alaskan governance. "In politics, you're either eating well or sleeping well," she said. I jotted this down: "And which of those are you doing now?" 

Shortly before the end of the film, a young couple entered, walked to the back row, started making out, then interrupted their session and left (spoiler alert) as Andrew Breitbart, who made one of several guest appearances, started talking about eunuchs. Then I was alone again, working. Instead of researching civil liberties violations, or the war in Libya, or the contest to elect the next president of the United States, I was both a journalist and the only member of the public willfully paying attention to Sarah Palin, as if standing in for the pathologies of my profession.

Afterward, I found a theater manager, told him I was a reporter, and asked if he could give me numbers about ticket sales. "Did anyone pay and not show up?" He said that they'd sold out all the Harry Potter movies until 2 a.m., and that all 5,000 seats looked full. "No," I said, "I saw the Sarah Palin movie. Do you know the figures for that one?" 

"Oh," he said, "I can't release sales figures."

Oh well, this probably doesn't mean anything right?  After all only very young people, with actual lives, go to a midnight showing of a new release.

I am sure that today the target audience for this movie will awaken early, take their Metamucil before heading off to Denny's for the "Early Bird Special," after which they will ride their scooter from the "Scooter Store" over to the local AMC, buy a ticket (making sure to get their senior discount), and after parking their scooter in the handicapped space five rows from the front and getting the valve on their oxygen tank adjusted perfectly, will sit back to enjoy watching the Nazi inspired Sarah Palin propaganda film, before nodding off halfway through the coming attractions and missing the entire thing.

Palin propaganda film sells out in Grapevine, Texas. That might be impressive if anybody had ever HEARD of Grapevine, Texas.

"The Undefeated," a glowing look at failed vice-presidential candidate and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has already sold out a show in Grapevine, Texas (population 46,000), according to the distributor Cinedigm.

Grapevine isn't exactly a teeming metropolis but the film is set to roll out across Tea Party country in 10 AMC theaters.

In addition to Grapevine, the documentary by conservative filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon will expand to Indianapolis, Ind.; Independence, Mo.; Kennesaw, Ga.; Houston, Texas; Orlando, Fla.; Oklahoma City, Okla.; Highlands Ranch, Colo.; Phoenix, Ariz.; and Orange, Calif.

 The film opens tomorrow if anybody is looking for an accidental comedy, an opportunity to be surrounded by assholes, or a cure for insomnia.

Currently the website Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 0%, which means that of the eight people who have seen this cinematic beatification of Sarah Palin, ALL of them gave it a "rotten" rating, but ONLY because that is the lowest rating available on the website.

Below is a screenshot featuring the professional film critics who were subjected to this celluloid abortion because their jobs demanded it of them. I figured their opinion of the movie was worth noting.

I captured this screenshot because, as we all know, the minute this post goes up Rotten Tomatoes will be inundated with positive reviews of this "film" by Palin-bots, the majority of who have not yet even seen the movie.

As revealed in Frank Bailey's book, THAT is how Palin and her supporters handle bad, or negative, press, by hijacking the polls or attacking the critics, or both.

Still I am more than positive that nothing they can do will save this clunker from joining films like "Ishtar," "Battlefield Earth," and "Freddy got Fingered" as one of the worst films of all time.

Since we are on the topic of Palin failings, I should also inform you that all of that talk by her sycophants of "Sarah Palin's Alaska" possibly earning an Emmy turned out to be bullshit as well:


Outstanding Reality Show
The Amazing Race
American Idol
Dancing With the Stars
Project Runway
So You Think You Can Dance
Top Chef

However as kind of a booby prize it looks like Bristol's complete lack of rhythm, poor work ethic, and bizarre weight gain did not keep DWTS from getting nominated. So that should make the Grizzled Mama feel better right?

Ah, who are we kidding? That bitch only cares about one person, and that person is HER!

The director of Sarah Palin's film "The Undefeated" studied Nazi and Soviet propaganda filmmakers. Ahh, now it all makes sense!

Courtesy of the Wall Street Journal:

People have said I’m like Leni Riefenstahl. I’ve studied documentarians extensively to come up with my own in-house style. I’m a student of Michael Moore’s films, of Eisenstein, Riefenstahl. Leave the politics aside, you have to learn from those past masters on how they were trying to communicate their ideas.

Leni Reifenstahl was Adolph Hitler's favorite filmmaker, while Sergei Eisenstein made numerous propaganda films in Soviet Russia and his film "Ivan the Terrible, Part 1" made him a national hero of the USSR, and won him favor from Joseph Stalin himself.

So let me see if I have this straight.  The guy who made the documentary designed to sell the REAL Sarah Palin to the American people, admittedly received his inspiration from studying propaganda filmmakers from both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

Have I got that right?

You just can't make this stuff up folks.

Sarah Palin could win the big prize after all. Well kinda.

Courtesy of LA Times:

Sarah Palin might not win election to the presidency, but she could reap a Razzie Award for her documentary "The Undefeated," which opens in select movie theaters on Friday.

"She's the political equivalent of what the Razzies are all about and she's hysterically funny if you don't stop and think, 'Oh, my God, she could've been vice president!'" gasps Razzie president and founder John Wilson. "Sarah Palin exhibits ineptitude and an indefensible grasping after other people's ideas, calling them her own. Just like Hollywood filmmakers who can't make an original movie. She wants you to put on rose-colored glasses instead of 3-D glasses, but there is still a surcharge you should not pay."

I never thought I would be rooting for Palin to win anything, but you know I think I might have changed my mind.


Go Sarah!

More damning reviews for Sarah Palin's "triumphant" revisionist film. Are Sarah and Bristol competing to have their name attached to the bigger failure?

Here is movie critic Roger Moore's take on this polished turd:

But everything in “The Undefeated” is loaded, from its choice of endorsements to the choice of extreme voices in those rare moments when she is criticized. An opening three minute barrage of bile lumps everyone who found her lacking into the same pile as profane anonymous Internet commenters, shock jocks and gadfly comedian Bill Maher. There’s Sharon Osborne. But where are the credible critics who questioned her qualifications?

Her political allies sing her praises and do most of her burnishing for her – “Sarah stands for this” and “She’s a rock star” and “She’s an existential threat to the left.” But about these “endorsements – They aren’t spontaneous question-and-answer sessions with a wide assortment of critics and colleagues. They are mostly Alaska acolytes who appear to be performing their testimonials carefully staged and edited monologues directly to the camera. Thus, “The Undefeated” plays like an infomercial.

The film rightly gives Palin much of the credit for the Tea Party movement she opportunistically leapt onto in 2010. We see her pointing the finger at ethically challenged Alaska Republicans. But we don’t see Palin “standing with” the disgraced Senator Ted Stevens, just like any other party hack. The film misstates her popularity in Alaska and misleadingly twists energy data to convince us that what she did to push more drilling in Alaska is actually America’s energy independence solution.

And while there’s plenty of inspirational Tea Party footage scored with music to make you moist-eyed, there’s nothing about that group’s more controversial elements — the intolerance, conspiracy-mongering, the anti-intellectualism tinged with violent rhetoric.

There’s also no mention of Palin’s burgeoning media career — from “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” to her many connections to Fox News and the controversial commentator Glenn Beck. This is a far more credible reason for her quitting her governor’s job — cashing in. Afraid of how that looks?

Ouch!  Now Moore is one of the people that director Bannon identified as his key demographic, those who had opinions of Sarah Palin based on rumors and the skewed view of her provided by the "Lamestream" media.  Well after Moore has seen the film he appears to be even more convinced of her lack of fitness for political office, and finds her depiction in the movie to have carefully avoided topics that would  have revealed a truth about the film's subject that the creators desperately did not want their audiences to learn.?

However THAT review was a big sloppy kiss compared to what the Hollywood Reporter had to say about it.

A documentary stitched together with a thousand sound bites, this entirely partisan account of the phenomenon that is Sarah Palin looks like a campaign film for a campaign that at least for the moment isn't happening. Puzzlingly titled The Undefeated in that its heroine lost the last election in which she ran and subsequently stepped down from her job as governor of Alaska before her term was up, this narrowly conceived valentine calls upon a vast chorus of coworkers, friends and admirers to numbingly defend everything she's ever said or done and to champion her as a maverick politician with a real connection to the people. Set to begin theatrical runs next week in select houses nationwide, this will attract media attention in the way that anything to do with Palin invariably does (all the more so because it's favorable), but nothing about the film earmarks it as a must-see anywhere other than in the living rooms of die-hard loyalists.

Just makes you want to throw the kids into the mini-van and dash off to your local AMC theater to learn ALL about Klondike Kardashian doesn't it?

No? Well then unlike the paint chip eaters who still clamor for a Sarah Palin campaign for President, your gray matter seems to be in fine working order.

So exactly what kind of person is REALLY determined to see this horrible movie? Hmm I think Vanity Fair contributing editor James Wolcott might just have an answer to that question.

Andrew Breitbart, the angry-faced entrepreneur who likes to inflict himself upon press conferences, has announced that he has already seen the new Sarah Palin documentary The Undefeated three times.

It's a free country, and what Andrew Breitbart masturbates to is none of my concern.

Some people prefer Japanese hentai porn, others have squirreled away Traci Lords bootleg cassettes inside a basement vault in case of nuclear war.

I say: It's your thing, do watcha wanna do.

I wouldn't presume to tell you who to sock it to.

Ahh, yes that seems to be the most accurate label that I have seen for this film. It is in fact conservative political porn.

Which I guess would possibly explain why Palin showed up to the premiere in Iowa looking like a haggard, used up old porn star.

Complete with too much make up, a helmet of over teased hair, and a peek-a-boo blouse.

Jenna Jameson could hardly have done it better.
