‘The Sarah Palin Mama Grizzly movie has hit theaters — and critics are
growling

Harry Potter isn't the only big-name movie hitting theaters this
weekend. At long last, the two-hour Sarah Palin documentary The
Undefeated is out. No one was expecting a Tea Party Citizen Kane from
conservative filmmaker Stephen Bannon, but all the same, critics
(who've, so far, given the movie a 0 percent favorability rating on
Rotten Tomatoes) are deriding the film, not just for being pro-Palin
propaganda, but for being "bad propaganda." How foul is it? It's
amateurishly bad: The Palin documentary "makes no pretense of being
anything more than a full-length commercial endorsement of her
character and accomplishments," says Robert Levin at The Atlantic.

And quite boring: The movie might lead "even the most ardent
conservatives to emulate their idol's tenure as governor and walk out
halfway through."

This film is little more than "a string of encomiums against a
backdrop of frantically edited archival material," says Todd McCarthy
at The Hollywood Reporter. It's essentially a redundant, two-hour film
"stitched together with a thousand sound bites" and a grating musical
score.’

Five out of the six reviews on IMDB rave about how good it is. These
are from regular people who saw the documentary. Regular people,
that's why it was made.

The more commies go nuts about it, the more publicity.

The legit reviews that are obviously not just haters with hate "quips"
are excellent.

Uhh, speaking of rotten tomatoes:

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/771245638/

That is the FIRST time I have ever seen a movie with a 0%! How bad can
it be?? I actually enjoyed her TV show, but I won't be rushing to the
theaters to see this one.

I liked the quip where the reviewer said many viewers will emulate Palin
and walk out halfway through. lol

It opened in an Orange County theater to an audience of *THREE*.

One was an editor/political columnist for the Atlantic who wrote the article
linked below.

The other two didn't know what the movie was about and left after 20
minutes.

No one expects or cares if race baiters like you want to see it or
have anything remotely objective-minded to say about it.

The credibility/favorability, bottom-dwelling, left wing media with
their Sarah-smearing is what greatly publicized the tea party and
Sarah and made her a millionaire and as she lead the way to throw the
Democrats out off office in the 2010 elections.

Thanks for the buzz.

When we were in middle school and the theaters wouldn't sell you
tickets for R-rated movies, you'd buy a ticket to Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles or something like that, and just walk into Silence of the
Lambs.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of her actual ticket sales were
something like that - Harry Potter is sold out, so buy a ticket to the
Palin garbage and walk into Harry Potter and sit on the steps.

Really? I clicked on the leak you provided and read these on just the
first page. ROFLMAO!

=========================

The ONLY thing this woman is good at is self-delusion!
---------------------
So a film was made to stroke her ego, and no one showed up to even do
so? Funny.
---------------------
If you've ever bumped your little toe on a hard edge of a bed leg, or
slammed your finger in a car door, that have nothing on the pain of
sitting through even 5 minutes of this brownshirt propaganda film.
It's amazing how this film could last more than 10 minutes as it lacks
of any honesty, truth, logic, and integrity
---------------------
I weep for humanity and the country I once swore to defend.

I'd rather have rusty nails forcibly inserted under my finger nails.

Just curious, but in the movie, does Sarah Palin finally apologize for
her role in the Arizona shootings?

Actually, the bad reviews were obviously just over the top, Sarah-
hater attacks who didn't even see the documentary. Of course it's a
good documentary. The director/producer is a professional documentary
film maker who went to the Annapolis Naval Academy and Harvard
Business School.

As a documentry, the reviews are good: the reviews from "movie
critics" types are laughably just motivated by anti-Sarah obsession.
It's not like a movie, anyone against Sarah Palin is going to attack
the documentary and not give it an objective review.

Plus, the documentary is mostly aimed at independents and under-
informed Republicans, so they can understand the truth about Sarah's
record and accomplishments and have it spread as a word of mouth
informational source.

We couldn't care less if anti-America commies don't like it. In fact,
that's part of the fun: knowing how much Sarah bothers you.

The documentary is exceeding expectations in ticket sales and will be
rolled-out to more theaters.

Here's what they wrote at the daily caller. <chortle!!>


WHAT?? A PARTISAN HACK ON A FAR-RIGHT WING BLOG PROCLAIMED THE
GREATNESS OF “THE UNDEFEATED” (which should be more appropriately
titled “The Quitter)? ASTOUNDING REVELATION!! The Houston Fixed Noise
affiliate has already given it glowing reviews. Next up: Hannity
declares it should win the Oscar, and the WSJ sings its praises as
“epic”. This idiotic mediawhore’s 15 minutes of fame has lasted so
long that at this point, sane people can only hope the GOP will be
stupid enough to nominate her for the 2012 race. The sane can only
hope.
--------------------------

She Quit, when it got tough. Not a quality we need in a leader.
--------------------------

Where is the review by Fox News? I’m sure they will plug it also. Only
problem is the title: Not only was Palin “defeated” along with old
McCain in 2008, she’s a mediawhore who QUIT as Gov. of Alaska to
pursue $$$ in the private sector preaching to her knuckle-dragging
admirers. Nothing wrong with that, but trying to defend her quitting
as Gov. by saying people were “out to get her” is highly disingenious.
Not “Undefeated”, but “Quitter to Pursue More Money”.
--------------------------

Not in the Republican stronghold of Orange County.Triple Yawn!!! I
hope the poor schmuck that produced this movie recoups some of his
money!!
--------------------------

Does the movie mention how she joined with Democrats and slapped a
windfall profits tax on the oil companies in Alaska because she felt
they were making too much money and she wanted to skim some off and
redistribute it to the voters so her poll numbers would go up? That’s
why I call her a socialist.

I thought "Showgirls" was a good movie. Obviously way underrated, imo.
It really did seem to give some interesting insight into Vegas' "back-
of-house;" the acting with above average performances.

Left wing media? I love hearing that, but if only it was true.

Where was the last Teamster's convention? Who is the AFL-CIO
president? Who is the chairman of NAACP? Where is the ACLU's main
office? When will the next GreenPeace rally take place in an area near
you?

It's so easy to destroy Risky Biz' pathetic lies spewed, due to the
pain he goes through (which is enjoyable to watch) with his Sarah-
hating.

Sarah resigned from the Alaska energy commision in protest of the
corruption between the RINO Republicans and the oil companies. She
resigned to run for governor in order to change things; she was a
courageous reformer.

She forced the oil companies to give-back to the people of Alaska for
profiting on the Alaska resources.
The oil companies' giving back part of their profits to, the people,
is a longstanding agreement in Alaska.
It became corrupted and Sarah changed that.

She ran for governor on this as one of her campaign issues. Of course
it's in the documantary.

Actually, the bad reviews were obviously just over the top, Sarah-
hater attacks who didn't even see the documentary. Of course it's a

At least you're consistent.

Why would you cite the LA Times? Aren't they part of the commie
liberal lamestream media that you find so unreliable?

Nonetheless, the article says nothing about the quality of the film.
It says only that the distributors chose a good marketing strategy.

Oh, and a bad documentary would be a good marketing strategy?

It gave the facts, and the facts are positve: the film exceeded
expectations. It's a success.

It's a great documentary, not a movie, for one thing. If it does play
on HBO, it'll be to HBOs advantage. It will get big ratings.

HBO is presenting a movie based on Sarah's time as the Vice President
of the United State Republican candidate, (who kicked Joe Biden's ass
in the VP debate) btw.

Why would I ever say such a thing? Sarah Palin's life was tailor made
for cheesy TV movies.

You leave me with no choice but to repost my essay from a previous
thread.

Also, Sarah Palin's book sales are up to five milion (5,000,0000) as
of this week. Read it and weep.

Sarah Palin was governor for two thirds of a term, btw. Romney was a
governor for only 16 months longer than Sarah. Sarah produced an
enormous amount in accomplishment in that time, Romney didn't.

Sarah was a mayor for as long as the "term limits" law allowed.


I wrote, previously:

Sarah Palin left office in the first instance due to the executive
branch of government in Alaska being consumed with defending a stream
of 20+ bogus and consequently debunked ethics charges.

In Alaska, unike other states, a governor of Alaska is NOT immune from
lawsuits. She was dealing with a massive number of bogus, mostly
ethics charges-lawsuits: she, personally, and also the state of
Alaska, had to deal with each and every one. That's the point that
makes all the difference.

It was Sarah Palin, herself, who instituted her own campaign promise
of ethics/accountability reform upon taking office: requiring Alaska
governors to defend themselves in lawsuits.

Sarah Palin resigned as the Governor of Alaska because she was
harassed out of office. National Democrat, left-wing groups and the
local left-wing Alaska media, targeted Sarah Palin in a relentless,
but insidious smear campaign.

Sarah Palin was forced to spend too much time meeting with lawyers,
etc., on both sides. It was costing the Alaska government millions as
well as a $500,000 in legal fees debt of her own. This chaos was
interfering with the affairs of state. The local left-wing media was
going hog wild.

She let no one "down". She handed over the governorship to the Lt.
Governor. That's how it works.

Sarah Palin went national.

It was a wise decision. She's now a multi-millionaire with great
financial resources to defend herself. She'll greatly affect the mid-
term elections for the better and set herself up as a Republican
presidential front-runner in 2012. She couldn't do that as governor:
fighting both parties and the media in Alaska.

She'll raise tons of money in campaign contributions for her own
campaign as well as for other conservative Republican candidates.
She'll (has been) also be traveling the world giving paid speeches and
making important business/political contacts that will enrich her
standing in geopolitics and foreign business circles.

The people of Alaska are now free of the debilitating left-wing
attacks on their government, and so is Sarah Palin. It really was the
best move for Sarah Palin. Not only for herself, but for her acting in
the best interest of Alaska.

It's doubtful that we'll hear much in the way of fabricated
controversy in national headlines with regard to the current Governor
of Alaska: the current governor isn't a threat to the national
Democrat, left-wing agenda.

She certainly didn't have to leave office to write a book. Rick Perry,
the 2010, reelected and successfully Sarah-endorsed Governor of Texas,
presented and publicized his book around the time of his election. The
governor of Minnesota, Tim Pawlenty, wrote a book while in office and
in the beginning stages of running for president. Mitt Romney
published a book about himself about a year ago. He's been running for
president since 2008, nonstop.

Given Sarah Palin's opportunity to be of great influence on a national-
political level, and therefore to announce leaving office after her
term expired, (giving other Republicans notice on the impending, open
governor's race) would have left her in a lame duck situation for the
remainder of her term as Governor: a political position that was
unacceptable for a motivated, pro-active, reformist governor as Sarah
Palin.
As she said in her resignation speech: To her, "only the dead fish go
with the flow."

Where is the left wing going to go now? They've already used-up all
their attacks; they scraped the State clean "looking for something on
Sarah Palin" and failed miserably. Sarah not only survived but came
out of it a winner.

The vetting of Sarah Palin is complete. This is a great advantage for
her now. No surprises are lurking, no "willie Hortons" on the horizon
to derail a quest for the advancement of conservative principles and
eventually, the presidency.

And you want her to be president? If you can't stand up and do your job in
the face of a constant barrage of attacks from opposition and their
supporters, as Obama has done, then you are ill-prepared to be the country's
leader.

I'm not a religious person, but God help America and the world if she ever
becomes president. It's almost impossible to underestimate the intelligence
of the American people, but I have to believe even they aren't this dumb and

I think her best role is to provide publicity and leadership for the
TEA (Taxed Enough Already) movement.
That is certainly more valuable to Conservatism than sitting in a
backwater like Alaska, fending off frivolous lawsuits brought by
wingnut Liberals.

And yes, she's making money too.
Eat your envious little Liberal heart out, hoser.

Besides, you're a little behind on the current project.
You Libtards are supposed to be focusing on Michele Bachman now.

CNN gave the "The Undefeated" a fair write-up; unlike the goofballs on
this thread.

http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/07/18/palin.film/index.html

Now Turbotard can make a home movie about Bachstabber's fake farm with
the teen slaves.

Hey Turbotard, have you ever read the transcripts from Ed Rollins
(Bachstabber's campaign manager) radio interview where he ripped into
Sarah Palin? Bachstabber started out in her campaign slamming Sarah
Palin. That's some pretty underhanded shit, especially considering
Sarah "made" Bachstabber: Bachstabber tagged along with Sarah during
the 2010 elections to, as it turns out, exploit Sarah's fame for
reflected glory and selfish, personal gain.

Now, she's absolutely trying to undermine Sarah's candidacy
selfishly and deceitfully to help herself: she's stealing Sarah's
lines and everything else.
Bachmann is indeed a Bachstabber.

You wouldn't know any of this because you're a drivel-spouting idiot,
and don't know what you're talking about, as usual.

You have it set up rather nicely for yourself. You can dismiss
anything they say that you disagree with as mere left wing propaganda.
At the same time, you can tout anything that you agree with as solid
proof of your position. That sort of intellectual dishonesty could
score you a lot of debate points if it weren't so transparent.

Well, HBO does make relatively high quality TV movies, so he got me
there. She is an American hero (to some). She is fighting anti-American
socialism (even though it doesn't exist--no law against swinging at
ghosts).

Don't expect any movies about my life...that true. I live a quiet,
modest life; it would make a boring movie. If Sarah's plan was to parlay
a mayorship of a one-moose town into national celebrity status, then she
pulled off something I wouldn't even have attempted, so she deserves
kudos there.

Sarah isn't stupid. It's just that she belongs on the city council in
Anchorage, not running the free world. She is the Peter Principle on
steroids.

Poupon gets miffed at ass kickings. Poupon identifies so
poignantly. :-)

It's a great documentary. If HBO does run it, it will be among the
other quality documentaries for which HBO is well known.

Even the ultra socialist CNN gives it a fair shake.

Gigantically successful book, Huge hit with "Sarah Palin's Alaska,"
Bristol in "Dancing With The Stars,
Great documentary. Big ratings whenever she appears on a news show,
Twitter, Facebook, etc etc. All in the media that the left wing
controls (chortle).

All the while the left has been trying to take her down, and have
failed miserably,

Why do you think she's The Undefeated, and a pathetically-stalking,
Poupon, can't stand it (snicker).
