This is Palin's plan for fighting back against the truth. A two hour movie filled with Palin mythology and misinformation. Update!
Courtesy of Real Clear Politics:
Shortly after Republicans swept last November to a historic victory in which Sarah Palin was credited with playing a central role, the former Alaska governor pulled aside her close aide, Rebecca Mansour, to discuss a hush-hush assignment: Reach out to conservative filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon with a request. Ask him if he would make a series of videos extolling Palin's governorship and laying to rest lingering questions about her controversial decision to resign from office with a year-and-a-half left in her first term. It was this abdication, Palin knew, that had made her damaged goods in the eyes of some Republicans who once were eager to get behind her potential 2012 presidential campaign.
The response was more positive than Palin could have hoped for. He'd make a feature-length movie, Bannon told Mansour, and he insisted upon taking complete control and financing it himself -- to the tune of $1 million.
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
Obviously this is a movie, much like Palin's books, that will really ONLY play to those people who already worship Sarah Palin.
I seriously doubt it will create any new converts. Not this late in the game.
However it completely puts to rest ANY question of whether she is running or not. She most definitely is!
Perhaps we could get Frank Bailey to watch the movie and review it for us. He could easily see through the bullshit and tell all of us what was REALLY happening behind the scenes. Now THAT would be a great post!
Update: Is anybody really going to buy this?
Bannon dramatizes the theme of Palin's persecution at the hands of her enemies in the media and both political parties, a notion the former governor has long embraced. Images of lions killing a zebra and a dead medieval soldier with an arrow sticking in his back dramatize the ethics complaints filed by obscure Alaskan citizens, which Palin has cited as the primary reason for her sudden resignation in July of 2009.
Palin is the victim of her own stupidity, and arrogance, and no paltry one million dollar film is going to be able to change the fact that more and more people are learning that reality every single day.
And by the way, this is not something that is widely known, but there is ANOTHER movie being made about Palin (No not Game Change) that will be much more truthful, and much less helpful to the Grizzled Mama's political aspirations. It is also worth noting that the film certainly cost more to make than a measly one millions dollars! (I think porn costs more than that to film these days. Though come to think of it, this might very well be considered the soft core version of Nailin Paylin.)
That's right, the forces of truth and justice are capable of creating both books AND movies

That makes me sick! Lies, lies, and more lies!
ReplyDeleteWill it NEVER end?
Palin's shiny new object -- such obvious timing of this.
ReplyDeleteI predict it will equal the blockbuster status of the recently released conservatve oscar hopeful film, Atlas Farted...or whatever they titled it.
ReplyDeleteThe Quitter can't handle the truth about herself. She has to rewrite history to try and make herself the least bit acceptable. She's not, never will be.
ReplyDeleteThis movie will speak to her faithful just as the Dunn and Bailey books speak to the skeptical. There's no changing the minds of those that love her and nothing can change he minds of those that dislike her. This documentary is merely the "Game Change" for the faithful. I doubt that this film will garner her any more than the already faithful 25% of the GOP that love her and would vote for her. She will never have enough to win the election, even if she somehow wins the primary.
ReplyDeleteOh oh, does this mean Sarah is going to tap Alaska's finances again for this movie like she did Sarah Palin's Alaska?
ReplyDeleteCharlton Heston will star in it to
ReplyDeleteName of movie... "Ben Hurt"
There is just too much freaking money in this world and it is all in the wrong hands.
ReplyDeleteHow much pain could a million dollars alleviate in Joplin, Mo today if a true Christian distributed it?
She was born 100 years to late for the Ministry of Propaganda under Goebbels.
ReplyDeleteSilliness. But should be good for some laughs.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think, the Repubs were so mocking when Obama (not president yet) did his 1/2-hour program in Oct. '08.
2 hours of Sarah Palin. Yeah, that should finish her off. Good work, Sarah!
La Palin is getting serious over-exposed and with all the dirt coming out, I don't think a two hour kiss ass movie about how wonderful she is, how much she cared about Alaska, and how much she and Todd are in LUV will make a difference to all but her most drooling supporters.
ReplyDeleteWonder what Roger Ailes thinks of this new twist? Is she out at Fox? Does he have the stones?
ReplyDeleteWill the new Bristol or the old Bristol be in the movie?
ReplyDeleteLevi?
Ben?
Gino?
Shailey Tripp?
Ever wonder if she sees herself as larger than God? Think no farther.... She is the messiah. Roger? Are you listening?
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine people wanting to see this 'movie' (or 'video', or whatever) outside of C4P fundraising events.
ReplyDeleteReally, what theater would book it?
Me Me Me the Sequel
ReplyDeleteWill this be titled
ReplyDelete"Blood Libel Part Deux"
OMG - That woman is delusional!
ReplyDeleteWill Willow play the roll of Mansour or will Mansour play herself?
ReplyDeleteThe film will debut in Iowa to be her surrogate in the straw polls. .
ReplyDeleteComplete with testimonials from..drum roll please..the usual slobbering worshippers -Breitbart, Tammy Bruce and Mark Levin.
Wouldn't it be ironic if in the archival footage
they gathered they may unwittingly
show more evidence
of Sarah's non pregnancy ?
Someone is going to have to draw the short straw and monitor the dreck
for this and other unintended reveals.
So they bought the house to have a movie room to review the film in? Hilarious! The movie room is the only nice room in the house.
ReplyDeleteTwo HOURS? Hope it opens with Mansour playing a ukelele singing "Tiptoe Through The Tulips," and, yes, I DID go there!
ReplyDeleteI want THIS as president? Not just no, but HELL NO!
Come on guys...there is too much out there to nail her ass. The book (w/her specific emails) was published today. She is a liar, cheat, unethical and a huge fraud...she'll never be elected for any office in the U.S. Many of us will be watching to counter whatever she says and does.
ReplyDeleteShe can holler all she wants and try to prove otherwise...there is way too much out there that shows what the fraud and liar she is.
Go to hell Palin!!!
That lying, scheming bitch has known about this two hour campaign ad since 2008, and she played it coy about whether or not she's running. That tells you right there all you need to know about her. Cut her loose, Fox, GAME ON!
ReplyDeleteHmm. Wouldn't the million bucks the guy spent to make the film count as a political contribution -- which may be illegal? Does anyone know?
ReplyDeleteTheres also the documentary about her childhood that is positive.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin's Alaska, take two...
ReplyDeleteElizabeth44
I was thinking the same thing. There may be a short flurry that will quickly turn to a fizzle before it is a long forgotten gimmick. This is Sarah's answer to hitting the road? She really doesn't want to put any effort in, she didn't even make or finance the film. Maybe there will be some interesting "pregnancy" footage. Other than that, ho hum. And, honestly, this only means she wants to run. Not that she will. I'm not even sure it will get released but if it does, it won't be a game changer.
ReplyDeleteI thought Sarah Palin's Alaska and Sarah Palin's Dancin' Bristol were supposed to make Amerika fall in love with $P?
ReplyDeleteHow on earth can you come up with two hours worth of white-wash of a half term elected position?
ReplyDeleteAtlas Shrugged hit the floor with a thud, how is this poliscifiction going to fare?
What a narcissistic loser Sarah Palin is.
LOL.
ReplyDeleteShe's not going to campaign.
She's got going to do any interviews.
She's just going to send her movie around to theaters (where people will have to pay to see it, thus raking in more money) and then send out Tweets and Facebook rants. That's it. She'll take money and let her canned or ghosted
She's figured out a way to rewrite her life and avoid any gotcha questions from the lamestream media. If she appears anywhere or talks to anyone live, it will only be stump speeches with no questions, or appearances on Faux Noise to her most supportive pantysniffers. All questions pre-screened of course so she can rehearse the answers her staff writes for her.
She was co-Governor for a second. . .and she quit halfway through that second. Her assbackwards legislative accomplishments are dying on the vine. Her husband and equally dim-witted kids are her think-tank/brain-trust.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell can fill two hours of celluloid fantasy?
It's weird, FRank speaks against divorce rumors, Shailey says she thinks theres love between them, they are growing closer and looking happier......
ReplyDeleteI think their relationship is the result of meeting and marrying young and living all the ups and downs. They were once sublimely happy. Add work stress etc to that, yes you're going to meet crisis. It really is desperate housewives and they really are lynette and tom. with half bree tossed in.
Um, doesn't Sarah realize that some Bullshit political movie will thrust her back into tabloid queen presidential-wannabe? DWTS did not make Bristol a dancer, and Sarah's movie will not convince anyone that she should be President. Hasn't Sarah seen the movie "Idiocracy"? Yes, that is what it will be compared with. Is she so sick that she can't see this? SARAH, watch "Idiocracy", that is what voters will see you as. We are aren't that stupid yet. This must be RAM's idea, so she could use her screen-writer talent. Sarah, please stop making a fool of yourself. If you are going to run, hire professionals.
ReplyDeleteMein Kampf da Movie by Sarah Palin
ReplyDelete(English: My Struggle or My Battle)
Starring Sarah Palin
Directed by Sarah Palin
Financed by someone else of course
What about the documentary about her childhood coming out later this year? It started sometime last year and promises to be pretty positive. Some british guy is behind it and said a lot of people had great things to say.
ReplyDeleteIs the movie supposed to replace real campaigning? Sarah will run by FaceBook, Twitter and now, movies. Ask Elan Frank how well that turned out. Thanks to another Sarah Film, we got to see Trig before he was born when he looked like Sponge Bob Square Cushion.
ReplyDeleteHey, Rebecca and Sarah, why so silent? Bailey has been all over the media spreading hate and lies. Where's the outrage? You regularly zing Obama for much less. Where's the outrage?
Considering that Rush Limbaugh called Going Rogue the most important policy book in the history of the world, I'm sure he'll demand an Oscar for this film.
ReplyDeleteIt's past time for that information that Tony Knowles gave to the democrats or Obama to be released.
ReplyDeleteScorpie
I think there are only certain venues that would be able to handle the clientle that this film may attract.
ReplyDeleteHere we go again, if you donate $1000 to SarahPac you will get a personally signed copy.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous at 6:50 - tulips?!! Hahahaha that is the funniest thing I have read today. And I've read pretty hilarious shit. Pulled some really old memories from the dark recess of my mind.
ReplyDeleteA movie? Really? She is completely delusional.
Great day Gryph!
I just watched the Dancing With the Stars finale, $carah and Toad were there. The camera just quickly passed them, so I don't know if Bristol was there. Doubt that I would recognize her with her new face.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that this "movie" might just get panned. Sarah's starting to stink like old rotten fish. She's past her expiration date.
ReplyDeleteI think that this movie is supposed to counteract "Game Change." It's funny that there wasn't that big a fuss about the book. But, Sarah is really frightened about the actors who will portray her and her family. They look just like their Palin counterparts, and nothing makes Sarah look more stupid than repeating some of her wonderful word salad, word for word. The movie will also show how unstable she was during a well managed two month campaign. If she couldn't handle two months, she can't handle anything longer.
ReplyDeleteThe point is she totally blindsided bloggers, the major media broadcast and print outlets, and has created a p.r. mechanism that her opponents, left and right, will have to invest time and money to counter or their own ramped up strategy to keep pace with her.
ReplyDeleteAGAIN, she's found a way to capitalize on new trends in the use of media that her opponents couldn't conceive of.
Re: Anonymous at 6:37: Your assumption that documentaries cannot change minds is not based on fact. It depends on the craft of the film maker. I held Mohammed Ali in little regard as a compassionate, brilliant man until I saw "Fignting Ali". My beliefs were totally changed.
So, too, has the perception of Mike Tyson been changed by similar documentaries. The list is long.
Film is a powerful medium and Palin has scored a major P.R. coup by being the first to attempt to correct what her camp believes are falsehoods about her rather than by stumping, writing books, or investing in campaign spots--and she has done this without spending a dime of her own money or any contributions. The film was financed and directed by the man who successfully sanitized the image of the tea party setting the stage for the spanking of the dems during the midterms.
(Bennett, by the way, is hardly a hack. He's filmed and directed for the BBC, History Channell, and the Discovery network. He's also won a "Best Documentary Award" at a foreign film festival.
If you're counting on an amateurish film, you might want to prepare for disappointment.
When the movie shows the part when Sarah was inseminated and it produced Track, who is going to play the part of Curt Menard the sperm donor?
ReplyDeleteThe good news for $arah is that this movie didn't cost her a penny.
ReplyDeleteThe bad news is she is not "undefeated."
On fact, she was defeated as a beauty queen, a lieutenant governor, and on the bottom of the big ticket.
She was so defeated she let ethics complaints keep her from completing her elected position. No matter how she tries to change the topic and language, she still quit.
They are moderating comments very heavily over there at the linked website discussing the "movie". This whole movie thing would fit the bill for Palin attempting to revise her entire life history and political record. "If ya didn't fall in love with me on Sarah Palin's Alaska, perhaps you'll fall for me in my new movvviieeeee".
ReplyDelete$1 million for a 2 hour feature film? The production values must be absolutely stellar. I think a quality 60 second commercial costs more than that.
ReplyDeleteIgnorance has always frightened me, it's a conscious choice to be ignorant and too many unfortunates follow her.
ReplyDeleteI am truly fearful...her rowdy appeall to the unborn sociopathic citizen has already been witnessed and still, still, Palin has endured past her allotted fifteen minutes.
Will McCain ever tell the truth? Will the Doctor who wrote her note ever tell the truth?
Will anyone stand up to the bully?
OT
ReplyDeleteNew York Special Election
The Rethugs LOST!! A Republican seat held for what seems -- Forever!! There are 27,000 more Republicans in the District than Dems!! If you recall, it's the same story as the other NY seat held by Rethugs for 100 years and the Dems won that one too!!
Dems - 48%
Rethugs 42%
Teabagger - 9%
It came down to the rejection of Ryan's plan -- all about medicare that he wants to turn it into a voucher system.
Hey Roger Ailes from FOX, Sarah is going rogue on ya again. She is coming out with another Blood Libel movie.
ReplyDeleteCorrection: Director, Stephen Barron.
ReplyDeleteCall it what it is -- more pandering to her cult to rape them of more $$$$$$$$ to line her pockets as she has no chance.
ReplyDeleteI expect to hear FAUX cancel her contract now and Ailes to vilify her.
This self promoting movie had nothing to do with Bailey's book. Sarah had her eye on an Oscar Award back in 2008.
ReplyDeleteLOL Sarah probably planned on debuting her movie about herself during her 2012 presidential inauguration dinner.
LOL The sea of pee-ers are busy plotting ala Palin style:
ReplyDeletedanielvito 1 hour ago
Ok, all! Let's get creative, how can Sarah/We use this film as a tool;
1) For every donation of $100 you get a film disc
2) Prior to a campaign event, Sarah's crowd could be treated to the film
3) Portions of the film can be made into campaign ads
4) For Whale donors the film can be screened
5) Have a special screening for the media, have the LSM have to sit thru it
6) Write a book against the film to get free media prior to running
7) Publish the film on facebook/Sarah Pac so media picks it up
8) Use film at her presidential rollout
Help me out

So she thinks a 2 hour movie will "reintroduce" her to us and make us like her? Didn't she already try that with her reality series? That didn't work, so why would this? Isn't one the signs of insanity doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result each time? She's not fooling the majority of the thinking (and voting) public.
ReplyDeleteSo her book wasn't enough? Now she has to make a movie of herself like Hitler did?
ReplyDeleteIt won't work. All you have to do is look at any Sarah Palin related story on the Internet and see how the tide has turned against the woman. The comments are OVERWHELMINGLY negative.
No propaganda movie is going to change that. No way. No how. That's a million bucks down the drain.
If Toad continues to be by her side, it's him scamming for the $$$ too -- no different than her pandering to her cult for $$$$
ReplyDeleteThis is a FAUX marriage like her brain -- it's non existent.
They've only kept it together for the $$$$$
By the time Dairygate and fraud investigations surface with the release of emails and info, they'll both look good in 'orange'!!!
Gryph,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting.
I'm most bothered by the fact that Sarah will once again be the center of attention, which is what she craves most. The GOP race is so boring, the huge numbers of political reporters that were hired to cover the dramatic 2008 campaigns are chomping on the bit for some action, which this film will provide.
The upside is that the GOP is no longer goose-stepping in lockstep and Palin's entry will divide the already fractured elements even further.
Can't wait for the day that takes John Edwards' place as the most reviled ex-pol in America.

ReplyDeleteSarah Palin's dairy, Valley Dairy DBA Matanuska Creamery is under investigation by the FBI! Their bookkeeper was fired after she could not find where they deposited the $630,000 Federal grant they received. She could not make heads or tails of the books and started asking too many questions. Suppose there are a lot of emails from TAWD to Frank Bailey in those emails that they won't release. Dairygate is still alive, Scarah! Money Laudering? Got Fraud?
If saree isn't gone from Fox in 24 hours then Roger can be officially known as her boy toy bitch.
ReplyDeleteShe played you like a fiddle Roger.
"Oh, I'm not running but I can't stop my base from their grassroots support"
Oops. She knew this was going down and probably choreographed the whole thing. In the mean time she batted her eyes and flicked her tongue at him and he bought her shit hook line and sinker.
What a fool you are Roger.
Oh, good grief! I can't believe how many people buy into her lies. A movie, seriously?!!!
ReplyDeleteNo one is going to even notice this film. It is going to be a ZERO. I can't imagine anyone sitting through 2 hours of BS, knowing it is going to be BS. BTW she and the toad along with brissdull were sitting in the audience of DWTS. Brisdull had glasses on, my guess, trying to LOOK smart OR trying to create a distraction from The Chin. I actually closed my eyes and turned away, that family is so offensive to me.
ReplyDeleteso thats 3 movies besides Game Change? Damn Sarah id s job maker!
ReplyDeleteThis puts her in the "definitely running" category as she tries so desperately to polish up her tarnished image.
ReplyDeleteIt also shows what a fucking COWARD that she is. She will go on Fox News, FaceBook, and even put out a movie/infomercial about herself to play victim and to put her ideas out there but will AVOID debates or any interviews in which she may have to answer a question that she does not want to.
Sarah doesnt care about negative pr at this point in time. PR is PR. If she was scared, she'd vacate immediately. No one's opinion is going to be changed. Cmon, if Bush can still be adored as the goofy uncle, ifHillary OF ALL DANGEROUS PEOPLE can make a comeback, if Obama can continue his tomfoolery and charade, Sarah will remain in the limelight.
ReplyDeleteSorry guys
Wouldn't it be funny if Sarah debuted her movie in Idaho and accidently they played Bristol's homemade sex tape with her two new room mates in Los Angeles.

Sarah's dream has finally come true. Miss backwoods barbie has made it out and kept her family intact doing it. thats damn impressive for a country girl.
a quick look at her latest 'book' on amazon will quickly...
ReplyDeleteand very quickly...
tell you EXACTLY where this movie is headed.
hello. lady is dumb. nobody cares anymore.

I bet she paid for this herself. Or SarahPac did. Which means Alaskan taxpayers are going to get hit again with another subsidy.
ReplyDelete7:07 said: "I think there are only certain venues that would be able to handle the clientle that this film may attract."
ReplyDeleteLOL.
@7:04, keep on drinkin', baby! Wooooo-weee! Life is just exactly like Desperate Housewives, right?! That is not at all a pathetic point of view!
This movie should cause triggering of the gag reflex all over the country.
ReplyDeleteThe intention for this film to be shown in Iowa would be classed under being a Presidential candidate and therefore the Million the producer is using to produce it himself would be considered an illegal campaign contribution.
ReplyDeleteLions and tigers and bears. Oh my. First, you don't get much movie for $1 million. Second, it sounds more like a middle school project. With any luck it will be as unintentionally funny as SP's Alaska.
ReplyDeleteHow can FOX keep her on the air with this coming out? There is NO doubt what her plans are and she has known her decision for months. I guess she showed Roger Ailes, didn't she. She has been playing him like a fiddle for months...
ReplyDeleteI think that's a great idea, Gryphen! If Frank Baily would dissect this movie and tell what was more accurately true than anything in the movie, then that would be quite the coup! Where is she anticipating screening this new feature film, anyway?
ReplyDeleteOh BARF!! ROFL! Poor wittle Sarah!! Is she Jesus now? Persecuted by both parties! Waaaah!!
ReplyDeleteThis is hysterical! A TWO HOUR movie about me, me, me,me and MORE ME!!!
Does she honestly think after hours of bitter Sarahs Alaska, that people want to to see more of her! Oy Vay! She is exactly what everyone says. A narcissist! And more victim bullshit?
It's truly nauseating after awhile-and of course this is releases today.
Never mind no stinking debates or doing interviews-just shut up and watch a TWO HOUR movie about me!!!!Me, me and more me!! Look at me! Poor me! Everyones against me and my kids and I'm special!! God told me!!
It's so funny it's sick! She is dense. Not stupid just blind and dense.
RE: A movie about saree's childhood that's positive? Are we going to have to go through a sex scene with her and Menard? And her reaction when the stick turns blue? Or follow her to Hawaii and watch her go ewwww? at all the "foreigners" there? Or the other colleges that may or may not have resulted in a degree? Can we see the actual degree? The original thank you. And you might want to toss in the birth certificate for TriG. Be nice to see that one as well.
ReplyDeletePress release from these folks that Bannon makes films with here.
ReplyDeleteI think their name is on a recent Supreme Court decision about Campaign financing. Note the mewntions of Palin in this press release.
http://www.citizensunited.org/press-releases.aspx?article=439
9/16/2010
Washington, DC – On the heels of the premiere of “America at Risk,” Citizens United Productions announced today that they will premiere a new film “Fire from the Heartland: The Awakening of the Conservative Woman” on Wednesday, September 22nd, in Washington, DC. The film, with an all-female cast, is the first to tell the story of the awakening of a new generation of women that are at the forefront of today's re-born conservative movement.
"We are very excited about “Fire from the Heartland” and the chance to have this extraordinary cast tell the story of women’s role in the leadership of the conservative movement," said David N. Bossie, President of Citizens United, and the film’s Producer.
“Fire from the Heartland” features a range of activists, politicians, and commentators such as Phyllis Schlafly, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, S.E. Cupp, Dana Loesch, Michelle Easton, Sonnie Johnson, Jenny Beth Martin, Michelle Moore, Jamie Radtke, Deneen Borelli, Janine Turner, and Congresswomen Cynthia Lummis, Jean Schmidt, and Michele Bachmann.
“From Phyllis Schlafly, Margaret Thatcher, Clare Boothe Luce, right up to Sarah Palin, and Michele Bachmann today, it really is stunning how much of the passion of the conservative movement comes from the women,” said conservative commentator Ann Coulter. “And, by the way, how much of the courage and the strength comes from women.”
“Fire from the Heartland” was written and directed by award-winning director Stephen K. Bannon (“ In the Face of Evil,” “Generation Zero”). The film is the second film in a series led by “Generation Zero ” that looks at America at a crossroads and the rise of the Tea Party movement.
“These women are extraordinary, and the awakening that is happening at every level of our society is astonishing. The story they have to tell about the grit, determination and love of country that underpins the Tea Party movement needed to be told,” said Mr. Bannon. “I'm proud that we let them tell it in their own words.”
Tracing the long history of the many conservative women who have been the backbone of this great nation, from the founding mothers of our Republic to today's “Mama Grizzlies,” this powerful and compelling documentary honors the self-made American woman.
Citizens United Productions, the country’s leading conservative film production company, is the organization behind “Hillary the Movie,” the film that recently brought about the landmark First Amendment Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. In addition, Citizens United has produced widely regarded films such as “Generation Zero,” and “Nine Days That Changed The World,” as well as award winning films “Perfect Valor” with Senator Fred Thompson, “Ronald Reagan: Rendezvous With Destiny” with Newt and Callista Gingrich. Citizens United Productions has released 17 feature-length documentaries.
Remember how Sarah's Alaska show was supposed to rehabilitate her image? It made things 10x worse for her - it was a complete fake and the "ping ping" TLC reality show music was the icing on the cake. Not good for her at all, and this one has FAIL written all over it too.
ReplyDeleteI just want one thing out of this whole bizarre saga - the breaking of the true story that will be the demise of Sarah Palin. I'll call it "I shoved a Square Pillow up my Shirt to Pretend I was Pregnant". It will be a sure hit.
It's so weird to me that she ends up choosing staff that are backstabbers.
ReplyDeleteThere are currently many many supporters who have had personal interactions with her and the family who call themselves their friends and regularly communicate with the kids. Some of these people work in their local and state govts. It doesnt shock me the Palin kids have friends like this, but it shocks me a little that Palin STILL trusts so readily even after all the past backstabbing from hypocrits.
Andrew Brietbart gives a testimonial in this "movie"? Yeah, that'll bring in the women voters. We just love ranting red-faced men who look like serial killers.
ReplyDeleteMore plopaganda from the grizzled twattard.
ReplyDeletea dead medieval soldier with an arrow sticking in his back dramatize the ethics complaints filed by obscure Alaskan citizens
ReplyDelete-------
sounds like a film destined to become a cult classic - although the chug rate may be too high except for the truly robust.
I'm betting they work in "blood libel", "fish picker from Texas" and endless minutes on the depths of evil flowing from Katie Couric.
G, you'll get 15 minutes easy.
"Images of lions killing a zebra and a dead medieval soldier with an arrow sticking in his back dramatize the ethics complaints filed by obscure Alaskan citizens"
ReplyDeleteOooh, so it's a comedy...now I get it. Maybe RAM finally got to write that screenplay she always wanted.
7:10 pm keep dreaming and living in la la land about Sarah. There is NOTHING brilliant about this and it is not a pr coup! It's going to reinforce what everyone thinks of her already except the cult.
ReplyDeleteShe's a mentally ill meglomaniac! I'll pray for you because how sad you are incapable of seeing what a fraud she is. You don't even get how cult like you are.
This film will not change a thing. Who would even want to watch it??
Run, Sarah, Run!!!! Oh, I just cannot wait to attend the premiere for this movie!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it will premier in the valley... or in Anchorage, maybe? Hell, I'll go to Phoenix since it's close!
What a stroke of genius! I'll bet a movie dramatizing Sarah Palin's life will convince 100% of the undecided voters who don't know enough about her to form a solid opinion...
Okay, she's got a 25% favorable opinion rating now, and now she adds ALL 10% of the undecided voters. Umm, let's see, she's at 65%-35%. Here we go, now she's only down... 30 points! Ugh, that smarts!
So now, let's say that the movie is a BREAKTHROUGH and CONVERTS 15% of the die-hard folks who are totally convinced that she's a narcissistic, pathological liar on the verge of a breakdown. (15% x 65%) ~= 10%
OK, now Sarah is down only 55% to 45%! Now, seriously, do you know what you call that?

Obscure Alaskan citizens? That is just incredibly rude. No wonder she beat it out of Alaska. $he had to git while the gittin' was good!
ReplyDeleteAh, Sarah Palin: The Squeakquel
ReplyDeleteAny bets on whether or not the Katie Couric interviews will be included? Or the prank call from that Canadian radio show?
ReplyDelete1. where will this "movie" be shown? Fox?
ReplyDelete2. Will it be billed as a comedy?
You say she couldnt handle 2 mos of a campaign, yet she's still going strong and living happily doing her thing. I dont doubt she was stressed. ALL candidates show stress signs. Sarah was definitely not the only one portrayed as fragile (edwards, mccain, hillary) and was NOT the only one caught looking stupid on camera (biden, OBAMA)
ReplyDeleteWhy dont you lose the bias and see everyone for who they are and not what you want to see.
I don't think Sarah cares a lick about Game Change. Its hollywood. it's fictionized. its a characature. the description of the movie even uses the word fictionized. Thats what her public perception is. People who criticize her dont know her. theyve never met her. I"m not doubting Bailey;s experiences but even with that, you all cannot say you KNOW her through him.
My friend worked for M Obama and, though Conf agreements prevent him from speaking, I would never assume anything of what he told me if he did speak about her.
Listen to what Bristol, the straight talker says. "My family is strong and we know what is best for us."
Truer words have never been spoken. And yes I've met the Palin kids several times. Theyre fun and lively and wonderful people.
Anon 7:34 brings up a good point of whether the film violates FEC rules. Sarah is running but she's been waiting for the film to be released and make its rounds before she makes an official announcement. Unlimited contributions are allowed from outside groups but I don't think there can be coordination with the candidate. There was obvious coordination in this case. Tricky.

It's hilarious how the Palin fairy tale trolls stick out like a sore thumb. Why did Todd see a prostitute if they're so happily married like you pretend? Why did Sarah tell frank Bailey "I don't trust him." referring to Todd while Todd was standing there? Why don't they live together?
ReplyDeleteStop trying to push this nonsense that the palins are happily married. No one is buying it and you're just embarrassing yourself.

ReplyDeleteWell, first off, she's not campaigning for President, she's campaigning for campaign donations.
Second, they're calling it "The Undefeated"? Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there already a film called The Undefeated? Well, yeah, three actually. It's the 1969 John Wayne version most people think of. What hubris.
Umm, 8:03? You did see RAM's comments about Sarah and Bristol today, right? “Two words: Patti Davis. Okay three more: Ron Reagan Junior. Two more: Billy Carter. Doesn’t your family have one?” Mansour said.
ReplyDeleteTruer words have never been spoken, because they weren't intended to be a PR statement.
For the Love of God, please make that thing go away!!!

ReplyDelete“Fire from the Heartland: The Awakening of the Conservative Mrs. Frankenstein”
ReplyDeleteAdolf Hitler, also, too, hired a videographer to make his "down time" seem simple and more like that of the little people. He was filmed at his chateau in Austria, hanging with his Jew-killing homies and their families, frolicking with his German Shepard, Blondie, and just being your average "Adolf Sixpack".
ReplyDeleteNevermind that he was seriously ill, both physically, psychologically, and damned for hell, because while he hosted 6 course meals at his chalet, millions of his "guest" prisoners languished in camps, starving to death, being tortured, humiliated, and deprived of any teeny little favour which one might afford another member of the human race.
Such is the potential mindset of one Sarah Louise Heath Palin.

ah, yes, we saw the fun and lively and wonderful during Sarah Palin's Alaska fiasco. I especially remember the butchering of the slain animal. And face in the cake. "Piper diaper" is a moniker that child will hear on the playground every school day. Bet she thinks that's fun and lively and wonderful.
You should remember that the entire country got a faceful of the Palin kids during the 2008 campaign and ever since. You are not special. And the Palin kids aren't either.
7:10 PM
ReplyDeleteYou are fucking retarded. This movie will not change minds. This "movie" will be scrutinized, and fact-checked for lies, just like her first ghost-written book. It doesn't matter if the film had $100 million dollar budget.
You are a fool to compare "Fighting Ali" to this movie. That's different. No one in that movie wanted to run for president, silly.
And political hacks can make movies, and win awards too, dummy.
Palin is digging herself in deeper with this movie. People are sick of her of "blood libel," crap of always claiming to be the victim.
And, no, bloggers have not been blind-sided. We can't wait to pick it apart. Palin is the one who will waste millions trying to de-bunk rumors that are actually true. She is so thin-skinned, and ridiculous, that she would spend an entire campaign, de-bunking "false-hoods" about her-self, instead of talking about things voters care about.
You are sadly mistaken, if you think $arah Palin will continue to get away with with avoiding real interviews, and tough questions. And, you are mistaken if you think this film will help repair her image. It won't. Palin's game is old, and all too familiar. Oh, and predictable. This 2-hour movie is just a re-hash of the same old crap we have been hearing and seeing for the last three years, only in a different format. Releasing this movie will just make Palin look even more unhinged.
This movie will be a failure. More people will see "Game Change" than that trash.
LOL george lopez tweets abt Palin:
ReplyDeletehttp://twitter.com/#!/georgelopez
Honest to god I can't take much more of her shit and ego. I have never in all my life seen anything like this person. What is ever going to stop her?
ReplyDeleteIf she does run,I hope to god it's just a money-making scheme and she quits. Who is driving her train? How does she plan to pull off a campaign? If she thinks she can do it with this movie, FB and Twatter (her version is Twitter), then someone in her family needs to step up, do the right thing and commit her ass to the rubber room ASAP. Delusional beyond words.
This is a good thing. It will present Palin approved fictitious versions of events which will prompt more scrutiny of these subjects by the press. I hope that one of those subjects is the miraculous birth.
ReplyDeleteI have the feeling that many in the press feel that they screwed the pooch by not properly vetting Palin in 2008. I'd be willing to bet that they want to make amends for their indolence the first go around. As a private citizen she is not of much interest, but the minute she starts really making any indication that she is running, it will be like blood in the water. The MSM will not treat her gently this time around. She will be grilled like no candidate ever. They ain't gonna' let her slip by this time.
As much as Palin feels she was unfairly treated in 2008, she got off easy. The press largely left her alone and let her self immolate. For as much as she whines about being unfairly treated, she was handled VERY gently. Even the Couric interview was nothing but softball questions. Couric gets points for listening to Palin's answers and following up, but the questions themselves were giant marshmallows that any semi-competent politician should have been able to handle without busting a sweat. But not Palin.
Palin seems unable but to play to type: everything she does confirms that she is a self absorbed narcissistic, lying, self aggrandizing moron. This will change nobody's mind: it will make her sycophants swoon and it will make everyone else's eyes roll and stomachs turn.
However, who the hell would sit through a TWO FUCKING HOUR paean to Palin? Only her hardcore panty sniffers would willingly subject themselves to that masochism. The hours of my life are far too precious to spend them listening to someone tell me how great Sarah Palin is in her own tiny little mind.
She is predictably ever the vain, snotty, imbecilic bitch.
In other words, she's still Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin's movie is going to be called " The Undefeated"?
ReplyDeleteI could be wrong (but I'm not) didn't Sarah lose Miss Alaska to a African American lady which caused Sarah to become a vindictive racist?

"ifHillary OF ALL DANGEROUS PEOPLE can make a comeback, if Obama can continue his tomfoolery and charade, Sarah will remain in the limelight."
ReplyDeleteSorry guys
7:28 PM
Um, Hillary Clinton is not "dangerous." Palin is no Hillary Clinton, and will not make a comeback. If Palin wasn't a chicken shit, she would allow the media to vet her dumb-ass, instead of hiding.
And, President Obama is no tomfool, and hardly pulling a charade. Remember that "tomfool" got Osama bin Laden, fuck-face. Palin is a fraud, and a fool, so there.
Fuck off, jerk.
You think Track hates Sarah now, just imagine what he is feeling now. His mother refuses to stop making an ass of herself and the family.
ReplyDelete"Sarah doesnt care about negative pr at this point in time."
ReplyDelete7:28PM
If $P doesn't care about negative PR, then why the hell is she releasing this stupid 2-hour "damage control" movie?
I wonder how much of that 2 hours of unadulterated mooseshit is copyrighted material -- that belongs to someone else, not Palin?
ReplyDelete7:28 Never underestimate Obama. You would think your dumbasses would have learned by now. Whenever it seems Obama is on the ropes, he's not. He waits for his opponents to scratch and claw, until they have nothing else, then he comes out Swinging. Rumble Baby Rumble.
ReplyDeletePerfect examples, 2008 Election, Obama got Osama. The Death Panel healthcare passed, Chrysler paid back their loan, Banks have paid back the bailouts and the economy is growing, and the list goes on.
So Sarah can make all the movies she wants to try to change her image, it will not work; most Americans are on to her and she has rubbed millions of Americans the wrong way. This country has Palin fatigue.
"It's so weird to me that she ends up choosing staff that are backstabbers.
ReplyDeleteThere are currently many many supporters who have had personal interactions with her and the family who call themselves their friends and regularly communicate with the kids. Some of these people work in their local and state govts. It doesnt shock me the Palin kids have friends like this, but it shocks me a little that Palin STILL trusts so readily even after all the past backstabbing from hypocrits."
7:38 PM
Oh, poor persecuted Palin! Well, maybe if $P wasn't such a hypocrite and a backstabber herself, she wouldn't have former supporters (Frank Bailey) writing tell-all books about her. STFU.

Sarah Palin moving to Arizona. I'm finally gonna say it - Arizona really does have an immigration problem! #Sarahizona
Arizona is a good place for Sarah Palin because its true what they say: "Its not the heat, its the stupidity." #Sarahizona
Hey Sarah Palin, your husband doesn't work and you have 5 kids. They're gonna think you're Latino & ask for your papers in AZ. #Sarahizona

ReplyDeleteGasman,
ReplyDeleteI give credit to Couric throughout the interviews with Palin, as she had to try to follow the 'bouncing ball' of the responses Palin gave to her questions.
I agree - my time is more important than a 2 hour movie. Hell, I already lost hours of my life that I can't get back for watching that BS reality show of hers
They had to film the movie in secret in Alaska with mainly former employees/acolytes like Angry Meg Stapleton.
ReplyDeleteThe producer was afraid to have real Alaskans with common sense appear in his movie and say what they really thought about the QUITTER.
ps Anyone think it's a coincidence that they announced this on the same day Frank Bailey's book came out?
I do believe that when she announces her 'run' the people who have stayed silent will come forward with their well-kept secrets and pull her down.
ReplyDeleteIf they've been too afraid till now, the thought of what she can do to a nation should shake them out of their silence.
Frank Bailey has done it and now we need her other side outed like Babygate and AIP.
Sarah Palin is one very deranged person who has a follower stupid enough to film a Hitler-type propagnda movie to hypnotize her sheep even more.
"You say she couldnt handle 2 mos of a campaign, yet she's still going strong and living happily doing her thing. I dont doubt she was stressed. ALL candidates show stress signs. Sarah was definitely not the only one portrayed as fragile (edwards, mccain, hillary) and was NOT the only one caught looking stupid on camera (biden, OBAMA)
ReplyDeleteWhy dont you lose the bias and see everyone for who they are and not what you want to see.

STFU. Really. There is nothing special about $arah Palin. Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, McCain, Biden, and Obama, have never behaved in such an erratic, and psychotic way $P has. SP is known for her thin-skin. Barack Obama os known for his coolness.
Quit trying to make us believe $P is still going strong, and doing her thing. Her poll numbers suck. And, that bitch is miserable. The fact that she and her family members keep coming here, and stressing to us how happy she is, is proof, that's she's not happy. We are obviously upsetting her. Fine by me. If she's so happy, why is she releasing this fictional movie about how she is being "persecuted?"
You are the one who is biased, and can't see the idiot for who she is. $arah Palin doesn't know Barack Obama, yet she continues to talk trash about him, and make persoanl attacks against him and his wife.
Barack Obama is not stupid. He has shown how smart he is numerous times. When has has Palin ever appeared smart? She can't even speak in complete sentences. And, Joe Biden is brilliant. Obama, and Biden have accomplished more than Palin ever has. They also didn't go to five or six colleges, either, just to get a degree in journalism. Palin doesn't appear stupid, she is stupid.
I could care less what Bristol Palin says. I also don't give a shit, that you have met the Palin kids. A sick puppy like you may think the Palins are wonderful people, but most people don't. Palin would freak the fuck out in a real, national campaign. She is so crazy she wouldn't even realize she was impolding. She would still believe that she was "going strong!"
Fucking idiot.
7:10 PM #3, you're living in Sarah Fantasyland. Your Precious is rotted to the core and a pandering piece of film will not change reality. You should read "Blind Allegiance" to help you get a head start on your inevitable journey to get unaddicted. There is life after Sarah.

ReplyDeleteWhat does "conservative" docu-drama mean? A commercial flop.
Investors lose, Banks lose, State of AK loses. Director gets paid. Palin's Family gets paid. Palin (AZ resident) gets a wad of $$$ from AK. Residents of AK lose.
Nothing to see here, folks. You'll see more polished, professional work done with the upcoming presidential campaign real soon for Obama in 2012. Best of all, the producers/director won't need a failed screenwriter (that's you, RAM) to create a bunch of contrived shit to paint a compelling portrait. How much "lipstick" would it take to "dress Sarah up" to make her more appealing to educated folks? Right, more isn't necessarily always better.
Yes, I understand that not everyone has cable or follows a serious news medium. And yes, many people voted for W for the same ignorant reasons that some will continue to be a "fan" for Palin. Yes, most of these people have no idea that they are supporting a platform that will skewer their own rights and their financial future.
We can try to let them know that they should save their $10 bucks, or at least give it to a worthy cause like Red Cross, instead of these grifters like Franklin Graham, Sarah Palin, Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn,et al.
I just hope that the good folks in the state of Alaska don't have to subsidize this crap like they had to foot the bill for SP's AK. Sarah's getting creative in sucking on the State's teat for every last dime she can suck out of AK. You guys need to recall that bad piece of legislation, bc Palin is the only winner in that deal.
It's weird, but I can't imagine anybody but a Palin fan making the effort to go out to watch this movie. The TLC reality show lost half its audience by the end, and those folks didn't even have to leave the comfort of their homes. Her second book flopped. No, I just can't see any interest. People are just tired of her and want to move on. She just brings too much drama.
ReplyDelete$1 million? Peanuts.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, there are too many of us who know the truth about SP, and there's no way we'll shut up and sit down.
Sarah, you can't run, you can't hide.
Do ya' think the movie will show Plain saying she told Congress "thanks, but no thanks" for the Bridge to Nowhere?
ReplyDeleteCuz she didn't mention it in h"her" book? Even though she did in Dayton and Minneapolis.
Wonder what happened? Was it a lie?
Or is Palin on the Bridge to Nowhere?

ReplyDeleteJust sayin' ---there is no word "fictionized".
It is fictionalized.........
I agree with 7:10. Film is a powerful medium, one the mind takes in at a very different level (films are multi-sensory experiences) than it does words on a page. In addition, there are people who won't bother to read a book but who will watch a film because it's easier. Scary, really.
ReplyDeleteIf the FBI is investigating Granny and Dairygate, I'm guessing it's at the insistence of the GOP. Democrats wants her to run, the GOP does not.
ReplyDeleteAnon 8;03 hahaha you are joking right? Listen to Bristol? The girl whi didn't have plastic surgery bur had her jaw reset? The girl who had her own " big girl " condo. For how long? The abstinent girl? The girl who has had how many babies? Oh sure we will all listen to her.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know them how???
ROFL!!!!!!!
I find it hilarious that c4p would actually entertain the idea to FORCE the MSM to watch this "movie". They are so excited over there. It's funny! Granny has been and still is going down, however slowly it may be. Back in the early 70's I remember I visited my artist friend's house in New Orleans and had to use the bathroom. To my glee and surprise there was a picture of Richard Nixon's face affixed to the bottom of the toilet bowl. I happily peed on it. I can't help but picture Sarah's face on every turd I satisfyingly flush. Hey c4p...get back to polishing that turd!
ReplyDeletei have to wonder how she will look as far as then-and-now comparisons go; looks-wise.
ReplyDeletecatty and trivial, i know, but i'd bet it could matter.......
I wonder if it will be as thrilling as her "Blood Libel" production following the Tucson massacre?
ReplyDeleteSarahPAC was kind enough to underwrite the costs for that piece of self-serving crap. If she thought she could get away with it, Palin would turn in her receipts to get tax credits for that also, too.
I see corruption and grifting again at the expense of the State of Alaska, just as was done by her reality (lol) series.
Reality my ass. But that legislation will unfortunately help the Teabagger asshole director get financing for this piece of shit. It'll NEVER MAKE MONEY, BUT PALIN, HER FAMILY AND THE DIRECTOR WILL HAVE A NICE PAYDAY.
ALASKA LOSES. Again.
This way QuitterQueen doesn't have to actually go do the political meet & greets with the voters. She's moving from Faux, Twitter, Facebook and Discovery to "the Big Screen" -- well, if I had to choose an Actor/Actress for President - Ted Danson.
ReplyDeleteHmmm since this was all so hush hush - wonder if it violates the Faux contract??? And for Malia - hope they don't ask for or get any of that Alaska promo funds!
That the producer of this film previewed the film with Todd and Scarah means that he can't come back at a later date and claim that this was independently done by him when the issue raises it's head when the film is presented in Iowa as her kickoff for her campaign. That means the 1 million bucks put up by this moron would be regarded as a campaign contribution and would have to be declared on her filings.
ReplyDeleteIt's also the matter that the story about the film reflects that Palin asked RAM to approach him to do a film. That confirms it was not an independent idea -- it was her's.
Somebody save the article on the website describing how this all came about as we all know in Palin fashion, this will be spun in the future.
Well, well, well. I live in Iowa so I'd love be a mole in the midst of the people of Walmart types at the theater and see what the next freak show has in store to reconfigure our minds and invite us to walk together with the enemies. koolaid may be served and you might not have to pay for that. I'll bring my own popcorn and be a noisy person that guffaws, laughs and giggles through the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteThey will kick me out before it's over (hopefully). I will make sure the showing in Iowa turns rather awkward. This is a country of free speech and I'll tell anyone who listens this is total propaganda and there are several insightful new books to read that may be of interest.
And as a side note, I personally don't know anyone in Iowa who believes in this wing nut. And it's not like I live as a hermit either. I know lots of people here.
Anyone from Iowa want to go as a group? That would be quite the event.
All of Sarah's inner circle had blog comments already prepared for this latest propaganda announcement. Workin' on 'em for months. Lou Sarah will probably be submitting letters to the editor via her many reincarnations in order to blow kisses her way. Could you pathetic Palin family members and palinbots be any more pathetic?
ReplyDeleteAnswer is YES! You continually outdo yourselves proving just how blind you are.
Make a fawning movie instead of actually meeting real Americans in Iowas, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, etc.
ReplyDeleteYAWN.
ps And starring Marty Rutherford and Gene Therriault, both of whom were fired by Palin's Republican successor (Therriault for violating state ethics law by accepting a new position that he had helped to create as a legislator).
Anon @7:13 PM $1 million for a 2 hour feature film? The production values must be absolutely stellar. I think a quality 60 second commercial costs more than that.
ReplyDeleteThe producer actually admits they used a lot of local AK TV footage, asking for unrelated footage to mask their true intent and avoid suspicion about what they were up to.
Is it really called "undefeated"? As in never lost? Didn't she lose some beauty pageant, and a Lt. Gov race? Oh and she ran for something in 08, too, lost pretty big. So yeah, she's "UNDEFEATED!" err untethered.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling this is going to be unintentionally hilarious.
Will the movie show her daddy working the bolt action on the rifle held by the "life long hunter"?
ReplyDeleteSo do people have to pay to see this or will it be on tee vee? It is late, I'm tired and cannot read all the comments. I hope this will not be a profit thing for her. Omg. What next?
ReplyDeleteIf Sarah shows her cult flick in churches, then all those churches should lose their tax-exempt status and start paying property taxes just like "reel Americans". Maybe it's part of Sarah's platform to try and increase municipal revenues. Brilliant.
ReplyDeletethe hubris is unreal.
ReplyDeleteMore on the Federal Election Commission's Citizen's United Advisory order. View at
ReplyDeletehttp://saos.nictusa.com/saos/searchao?SUBMIT=ao&AO=3053
Giving this movie away for free, or being paid by certain broadcasters for the right to show it is critical to it NOT being considered campaign advertising.
From page 6 of the opinion:
Moreover, Citizens United states that it will not pay to air its documentaries on television; instead it will receive compensation from the broadcasters.10 See Advisory Opinion 2004-30 (Citizens United) (“[T]he very act of paying a broadcaster to air a documentary on television, rather than receiving compensation from a broadcaster, is one of the „considerations of form. that can help to distinguish an electioneering communication from exempted media activity.”). Therefore, Citizens United.s distribution of its documentary films by broadcast, cable, and satellite television, including the use of a video on demand format, DVD, and movie theater are eligible for the press exemption.
There is more detail at the link.
This activity of making and distributing these films is exempt from this Fec's disclosure, disclaimer and reporting requirements. From page 7:
Although some of Citizens United's film-related advertisements also may be classified as expenditures or electioneering communications, courts have held that where the underlying product is covered by the press exemption, so are advertisements to promote that underlying product. See Phillips Publ’g, 517 F. Supp. at 1313 (citing Reader’s Digest, 509 F. Supp. at 1215). Thus, Citizens United.s advertisements will only come within the press exemption to the extent that Citizens United is not “acting in a manner unrelated to its [press] function” when it produces and distributes the advertisements themselves. See Advisory Opinion 2004-07 (MTV). Advertisements promoting activities that are not part of Citizens United.s legitimate press function, however, may be considered expenditures or electioneering communications. Advisory Opinion 2004-30 (Citizens United) (citing Phillips Publ’g, 717 F. Supp. at 1313).
Because the costs referenced above with respect to film production, distribution, and related marketing activities fall within the media exemption for “expenditures” and “electioneering communications,” they are exempt from the Act.s disclosure, disclaimer, and reporting requirements.
10
And in the footnotes it is O.K. for Citizens United to pay a theater to display the film in exchange for 100% of the box office receipts. Just like other members of the lamestream media do.
The Citizen's United Supreme Court decision in action.
I'm sure this flick will play well at theater's where the men wear loose, baggy coats and pants, and the floors and chairs are sticky and the place reeks.
ReplyDeleteYup. it will play well in those places!

ReplyDeleteRemarkable: you people have been on the wrong side of the odds for two years now.
First, it was the collective opinion here her fame had a shelf-life of five minutes.
Then, you kept pinning your hopes that investigations would put her away.
Anonymous@7:13: The budget for "Endless Summer" one of the greatest documentaries of all time was $50,000. It grossed over $20,000,000 it's first year.
The budget for "Roger and Me" was $200,000; it has grossed $6.7 million.
"Touching the Void" was budgeted at about $550,000 and has grossed $13,000,000 worldwide.
Enough said.
Soon after, Levi Johnston, was heralded as the knight errant for your cause who would blow up Palin with
his insider's rebvelations about the pathological existence inside the Palin household.
Other pet theories expoused here:
Palin was moving to Montana.
Todd had tossed his ring into the murky waters behind the Palin homestead.
The Palins were headed for divorce.
You guys make Harold Camping sound creditable by comparison.
And as far as documentaries go, the subject matter is immaterial if it's 1)Well researched; 2) well-crafted; and 3) informs.
The documentary could be about creationists, ballet dancers, or prize fighters.
Does she think she is going to run for president without talking to any media? That is not going to play in Iowa even if it does play in Iowa.
ReplyDeleteEither it will be the most boring or the funniest. People r just going to start laughing at her.
ReplyDeleteThis is pure desperation on her part. Again, it shows us just how unwilling she is to accept reality. She had a second book that didn't do anywhere near as well as the first, drew less than half the amount of autograph seekers, had Bristol on DWTS and her own reality show yet she's still sinking in the polls and the unfavorability numbers are rising. She doesn't get it, does she? The more we see her, the more we dislike her. Tuscon did a lot more damage than she realizes because of her "pity me" blood-libel speech and she still has the gall to move to Arizona! I don't think there's any way she's doing it for a run in the Senate because that's far too much work for her. She'd hate all that is involved in being in D.C. for half the year.
ReplyDeleteNo other previous Presidential candidate has had the airtime and media coverage she's had and she's still not liked. She never will be because she has no self-awareness. She doesn't realize that her lies have caught up with her and Bailey's book will probably cause the film to need editing. After all, she'd be contradicting herself with the movie after her own emails are released.
The people in Iowa expect their candidates up close and personal, not on a movie screen. She's been seen that way and it hasn't worked but she just doesn't get it. Of course, her flunkies will NEVER tell her the truth. RAM is too busy kissing her ass and so is Crawford, talking about how wonderful the movie is. She can't revise the history of her aborted half-term as governor no matter what she does. Too many people will speak up now with Bailey's book revealing the real Sarah.
She's finished but she's too stupid to realize it.
The title of this movie should be-
ReplyDeleteUnmedicated: The Grifter Granny Saga
So let me get this straight. A movie has been made portraying Sarah as the VICTIM :) Oh yeah, that'll work. hehehehehe
ReplyDeleteHey @7:10 PM--
ReplyDeleteYou opine about PR and media and film and documentaries, blah blah, as though you're well versed and "in the know," and include this as an aside:
Bennett, by the way, is hardly a hack. He's filmed and directed for the BBC, History Channell [sic]...
FAIL!
Then you add this @7:16 PM:
Correction: Director, Stephen Barron.
FAIL AGAIN!
Quite amusing...and pathetic.
(Hint: if you're going to bother correcting yourself, make sure you actually correct yourself. :-D)
Do not ever underestimate this fascist.
ReplyDeleteIt took Hitler years to achieve power in Germany, and it was the culmination of many factors. He never received more than 37% of the vote before he was named chancellor and suffered so many defeats people thought he was washed up, too.
I never underestimate the ignorance and fickleness of the voting public, either. This is a propaganda piece in its entirety, a cult of personality movie to show her in the best possible light.
The rightwing will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
"The Winky Horror Picture Show"!
ReplyDeleteWith BIG apologies to that original cult classic.
However, I can picture audiences dressing up as the real-life characters, and acting this fictional mess out on stage as the film plays. But whatever can we throw instead of toast? ;-)
I say, let's all support Palin. President Obama wouldn't need to waste time and money campaigning. And we could just watch her implode on her own.
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:04, Are you simple? "Sublimely
ReplyDeletehappy," "work stress" - you must be new here. Go back to 'page 1' of the whole twisted Palin saga over the last 3 years & bring yourself up to speed. If the 'toxic-twosome' are
"getting closer," it's only for a
camera close-up.

I have visions of all of us attending a screening of the movie, but it is like that old funny series Mystery Science Thaetre 3000.....where they would play bad sci-fi movies and have running commentary from a peanut gallery. We can play her movie and have funny comments throughout. OR, every time a lie is told, the people watching get zapped in the butt with a few volts. Everyone will need cpr by the end...OR we can play it like Rocky Sarah Horror picture show, with props (loafs of french bread, bumpits, etc) that we throw at the screen at appropriate times.
ReplyDeleteOh we can haqve SUCH fun with this.
1 million dollars!
ReplyDeleteUh, am I the only one reminded of the scene in Austin Powers where Dr. Evil threatens to destroy the world unless the U.N. pays him $1 million.... and they laugh their asses off?
And that was in 1997!
She is truly mentally ill.
ReplyDeleteParanoid-Schizophrenia. I have seen it before. She will crash and burn into a padded cell, the sooner the better.
Hitler had a lot to do with "Triumph of the Will", too, and was even listed as a producer.
ReplyDeleteIt succeeded in its goals.
Either the US is "dumbed down" or it's not; I'd say the former. And Germany had more than its share of intellectuals and educated people--as does those who actually control the rightwing in the US.
Great, a one hour blood libel epic. I look forward to laughing my ass off at it. Desperate much $arah PayMe!? You spent how many millions on your reality show that was supposed to make you presidential? Epic fail! Bring it $arah!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous at 7:10, they can try to "reinvent" her all they want, but here's the deal: They have already milked the persecution meme to death. The blood libel video, coupled with these 3 books and emails that she wrote are all examples of her unbridled blind ambition that highlights just how severely damaged she is. The hour long "persecution of Sarah Paylin II" is only going to add to the evidence that has already piled up against her. She's a rabid narcissist who lacks the most basic discipline; a reactionary at her core, SHE will be the reason that she will never be POTUS. SHE cannot help herself; sick sick woman as she is. No million dollar slick media ad is going to help her
ReplyDeleteWill there be little silhouetted commenters at the bottom of the screen? I might be tempted to see it if Tom Servo is there.
ReplyDeleteWhat's a movie going to do that the real life Sarah Palin has been unable to do?
ReplyDeleteRemember the Mama Grizzly video? Vaguely? Exactly.
Fire from the heartland? Sounds like something you need penicillin to treat.
ReplyDeleteThe way the movie is described -- with Sarah taking the initiative -- it does seem illegal. Not that shell get in trouble. Sarah the Teflon Half Hovernor will probably get away with this one, too. Just like she got away with the dairy, the building supplies , the fake pregnancy, stealing from the McCain campaign, etc, etc.
Gryphen, If you have any input on the reality based other Palin film, I hope they will emphasis the following:
ReplyDelete1. Sarah P Heath's stellar leadership demonstration during the Alaskan villages' (Emmonak) crisis of 2008/2009. Her preemptive responsiveness and preparedness to head off such a catastrophe as well as her foresight for a repeat of the following year. And especially how she interacts with her constituents, especially Nicholas Tucker, as he raised the red flag to this upcoming crisis.
2. Sarah P Heath's dependence on others to do her elected job. Ex: Wasilla mayor - additional position needed for a small town job. Co-Governor Toad who participated in high level policy making which is way beyond the PR role of an elected spouse. Her absenteeism as Governor.
3. Many of Sarah P Heath's decisions are based on one-up-man-ship.
Thanks....
8:03 "see everyone for who they are and not what you want to see.....People who criticize her dont know her. theyve never met her."
ReplyDeleteWow, that is some lazy, poor writing. We all make typos and are not always clear in what we're trying to say, since this isn't more than quick casual commenting, but yours takes on a special quality.
That aside, here's the deal:
1) How about Sarah's supporters that have never met her but have come to "know" her through other means? Are you OK with that or are they discredited, too?
2) Through your logic, the only way to know Sarah is to meet her (BTW- Personally meeting someone for 5-10 minutes, even an hour, is not going to be long enough to figure out if you support them for an elected office. It may have worked in Wasilla when she went around in cute little outfits to get votes but those times are over for her). Is she going to go around the U.S. and personally meet every person? Of course not. Plus she already said that she would run a campaign via social media not face-to-face and certainly not with people who's vote she doesn't already have. The reality is that people HAVE already made their minds up about Sarah based on what SHE'S put out AND from others who can speak ABOUT HER RECORD. There's no way I would take her word, or anyone's word for that matter, on what they claim about themselves. And it's obvious that Sarah and you don't like that.
Now we know why those e mails are being delayed......release all you have Bailey.
ReplyDeleteThis film is to be a reintroduction of Palin? She and Todd border on derangement to reintroduce her after two years of orchestration to be in the public eye to win them over utilizing tabloid publications also.
ReplyDeletePalin turned off so many people with her I am THE victim here blood libel video. She is not acknoweledged as a contender except in polls. I get it that the Palins made out like bandits playing the persecution card and malicious assignations when confronted with their blatant lies.
I predict this movie will actually be so far over a line and result in the opposite of what she and Todd conspired.
Roger Ailes, I wrote shall find he was the victim of Palin pulling one over on him. Blindsiding people after conning them of opposites is a trait of the personality disorder. The pattern is to coldly calculate doing one thing while deceiving the target playing mind games and playing them as the fool. Later she will cry foul that Fox and Ailes victimized her intentionally discrediting them and assignating their character.
The Palins have done this since she sought office in Wasilla backstabbing people after using them for personal gain. She takes all leaving people with degrees of destruction in their lives. People like this derive sadistic perverse gratification hurting others.
This is how Palin and the pathology rolls.
I, too, am curious if this will be a theater release. I'm envisioning a Rocky Horror Picture Show event. Could be fun. Gryphen, maybe you could release a Mystery Science Theater 3000 version with commentary.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful to all the GREAT comments made here and terrific troll-hunting. Sometimes I find the trolls are best ignored but other times it seems a response is worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteVery satisfying.
Her adoring fans will love this thing, though it sounds like it will be a bunch of interviews with terrible people, all shot indoors, in secrecy.
ReplyDeleteThe woman quit her last elected position. Game over.
None of the rest of it matters. She will get nowhere when the general populace really chew on that one fact for a while.
She can't make it in the real world. If she didn't have FOX she would be nothing at this point, because no one cares what she has to say. She is living in a dreamworld.
How soon does Fox announce Palin is off the payroll?
ReplyDeleteNow I see why she chose AZ, since there are few states that are LESS like her beloved AK. It's because of all the sand which is there, needed to keep her head in.
ReplyDeleteThere will be one consolation for the Palin-has-been after this movie bombs.
ReplyDeleteShe'll be able to sit in the dark of her very own theater room (until it's foreclosed), sipping on her red bull & Bailey's, and watching her marvelous self by the hour.
She'll be remembering her glory days & wondering what went so horribly wrong.
Buh Bye Sarah.
History repeats itself

Sounds like it will be her "Triumph of the Will," and we know how well that all turned out.
ReplyDeleteSo this movie will no doubt talk about how much she LOVES Alaska and wants to progress it and all, from AZ.
ReplyDeleteOh PUH--LEEEEEEEEZE, tell me its Michael Moore's new movie that has Swinderella as its topic !!
ReplyDeleteNo movie can spin away the fact that she quit.
ReplyDeleteThat must be some fantasy world they live in but the rest of us aren't there. Her resilience will not out-do the resilience of others.
The President has read the Art of War. Let your opponent defeat himself, use his energy against him.
ReplyDeleteHe is a master.
He let Paul Ryan supply him with the 2012 campaign topic, Medicare, and it defeated a REP in a REP district in NY last night.
"Images of lions killing a zebra and a dead medieval soldier with an arrow sticking in his back dramatize the ethics complaints filed by obscure Alaskan citizens..."
ReplyDelete"...additionally, images of a pregnant-for-only-one-month Sarah miraculously beget a '35-week, premature' infant with a fat, healthy, full-term baby's face!"

ReplyDelete"When the movie shows the part when Sarah was inseminated and it produced Track, who is going to play the part of Curt Menard the sperm donor?"
Just get anyone. He criticizes Sarah's parenting skills and gets taken out of the equation by the goon squad pretty quickly anyway.
Remember John Ziegler's "Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Palin was Targeted" from 2009?
ReplyDeleteIt's Amazon rank is #105,636 in movies. At $10, it has eight reviews. One of the reviews is "Great Documentary; it reveals the tension between the Clinton and Obama campaigns". Really. Just. Pathetic.
The television mini-series "Game Change" will blow this movie out of the water.
I bet the movie WILL be heavily attended by media people, to see how they "smeared" her with her own words.
Let's see if her "blood libel" speech is included, and clips from the Thanksgiving turkey slaughter.
Well, she better admit and discloses the $1 Million to the FEC or whatever the governing body is that supervises the elections....
ReplyDeleteWho goes to the movies anymore? especially for a movie that doesn't require a big screen for full effect?
ReplyDeleteSo they made a movie. So what. Who is the distributor?? Because unless they have one, this film is doomed to the "church circuit," which probably makes sense anyway. NOBODY who isn't already a Palin fan will watch this contrived garbage.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the conservative documentaries my nutter neighbor is always trying to push. He buys them at teabagger rallies from a loony Vietnam vet also selling dog tags and freeze-dried apocalypse food. No thanks.
