There is that great, and I believe completely authentic, moment when Woody Harrelson. playing Steve Schmidt, gets this look of shear terror as Palin/Moore takes the stage at the Republican convention to chants of "Sarah, Sarah, Sarah."
When they finally do reveal Julianne Moore as Palin the resemblance is pretty freaking eery.

However she is still MUCH too attractive, and essentially kindhearted, to ever actually do this horrible creature justice.
However I know what I will be watching in March 2012. How about you?
"Game Change" is sure as hell what they got, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteMoore does not have Sarah's cold dead eyes.. nor Sarah's evil soul.
ReplyDeleteThe accent is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI still liked her when she went up on stage, but my opinion was about to change when she started slamming city planners, right after she thanked everyone who helped her get to where she was. It was like she took off a mask at that point.
ReplyDeleteSP had seemed so classy. She'd refused negative ads, sent messages to her supporters via Frank Baily that she was staying positive, and she ran the campaigne thy I'd longed to see someone run. What I didn't know was that instead of Halcro and Binkley running negative ads, they were running PSA's!
I will be going to see this movie.
Julianne as a feminine face, she does not have that hard manly face, Palin has.
ReplyDeleteAnd as of late, Palin is looking more and more harsh, and manly in the face.
Her delivery was spot on! She's a pro so won't insert her disdain for Mrs. Palin but will show the fraud as she truly was (during that period) and that will be enough!
ReplyDeleteI think Julianne looks like Gillian Anderson (Scully) trying to play Sarah Palin. Palin is, of course, an X File! A scary alien creature.
ReplyDeleteLondon Bridges
Did they put the breast pump on the right person?
ReplyDeleteG, you predicted that 2011 would be a great year and it certainly was very satisfying. I am looking forward to what 2012 reveals, babygate among other skeletons. I guess the master of the universe enjoys putting the Palins through the agony of worrying when and what will come out and it's taking it's toll. Another Glenn Rice story, as hinted at in yesterday's comments, a disgruntled pee-on least expected to come out, who knows how much is out there? 2011 witnessed a floundering Palin resort to desperate acts of faked races and Trump drool ("Hey, look at me, I-can-host-a-debate, too"). The year ends with her relegated to FOX idiot brought out of the closet just often enough to give people something to gawk at and rile up the trolls, who bite EVERY time!
ReplyDeleteSo, lets hop to the present, whereby The Worst Governor Ever is reduced to purchasing surveyor symbol graphics and using them has bulls eye targets on a map.... oh yeah, and spewing gripes about anything POTUS.
ReplyDeletePalin is soooo unAmerican, she should move to another country and tell the residents that she really ran for POTUS not VPOTUS.
FUCK YOU, McCain.
ReplyDelete1) please please please have the scenes with the smearing of the makeup, the catatonic debate prep, and other signs of Palins insanity and/or stupidity
ReplyDelete2) lets hope that this HBO program wins tons of awards and clips of Palins craziness are played over and over til even the craziest of the Fox viewers can't watch her anymore
Julianne is a good actress, but (and good for her) will never be able to project the inner ugly of Palin. Let's face it, casting Palin is an impossible task. Any actress who got in touch with her "inner Palin" would then only be willing to do a movie about herself.
ReplyDeleteWell obviously, the movie has it all wrong because they don't really know her. How on earth can that actress play the part of Beautiful Sarah? She doesn't really know her. She has no idea how happy and content Sarah is with her family all gathered together at Applebee's to celebrate this most holy Christmas together by discussing patriotism and such. She wasn't there when they decorated that plastic tree from WalMart so she can't possibly know how happy and content Sarah is. Oh, and BTW, that actress's hair looks too real and isn't nearly high enough...completely inauthentic, making it all the more obvious that she doesn't really know her.
ReplyDeleteI adore Julianne Moore as an actress, but even she wasn't able to get that screechy voice of Palin screechy enough.
ReplyDeleteI don't go to horrors movies so I'll pass on this one - I did read the book though. But I do love that look of sheer terror when chants of "Sarah Sarah" starts.
ReplyDeleteMoore's wig/hair combo seemed about right but her voice wasn't nearly shrill and skwaky enough!
ReplyDeleteI devoured the book; loved the stories about Palin, her meltdowns and complete unworthiness to be running for Vice President of the United States. The clip is near perfect in its capture of the Palin mystique. But we now know that it was all a lie.
ReplyDeleteThe timing of the release of the HBO movie may help convince those who haven't been paying attention that John McCain is evil and mendacious for bringing this impostor onto the national stage.
But, do you really think the paint chip eaters and Sarah's few followers will ever get it?
No, they will claim it was a hit piece by anti-Christian, libruls.
shear terror=fear of scissors?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the movie Sarah will be carrying around a prop DS baby? This portrayal should be very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who plays Bristol and Levi.
Now that the scourge that is Palin has swept across our country for the past several years, I hope this movie reminds everyone that it was a grumpy old loser from Arizona who elevated her to this level. And that John McCain go down in history as the total jerk that he is.
ReplyDelete"Country First?" My ass.
Saw this trailer yesterday...read the book can't wait to see the movie!
ReplyDeleteThe "Peeing4Palin" have posted the video too and the comments range from begging people not to watch it to wondering why the Peepond posted the video in the first place!HA!
I can not wait to see this...as some one mentioned already I can't wait for the scene when she smears off the makeup and has a complete breakdown! Julianne could win an Emmy for this role...now wouldn't that just chap Gov Dirty Wig™ ass!
Hi Sarah, Welcome Back!
ReplyDeleteQuick question, Where's Trigs Birth Certifciate?
Haha, this poor sap at C4P has it really bad for Screech. Apparently, he hasn't come to grips as to how much the object of his desire has deteriorated.

Poor casting in flop film 'Game Change'. Julianne Moore is too old and not nearly pretty enough to portray gorgeous, glamorous Gov. Sarah Palin onscreen. She has none of Sarah's sparkling charisma. Sometimes you just can't replicate the real deal.
I cannot imagine putting myself in the role of Sarah Palin. No one can display the true evilness of her!

Compare how she is dressed in this picture, when professionals bought and dressed her to the gawd awful way she appears when she dresses herself! You would have thought she would have learned from those professional, but not Sarah. She is too stupid.
ReplyDeleteJohn McCain..no matter what you do in life, you will always be remembered for bringing this skank and her family into the political arena. They have changed America..and not in a good way. I agree totally with the previous poster...FUCK you John McCain!!
This is who will play Levi:

"Game Change" is where the label "mentally unstable" popped out. Worth the price of the movie alone.
ReplyDeleteThis is Bristol:

palin_on_hbo_this/238650
The voice is not nearly harsh enough to strip paint off a wall. Sorry, Julianne Moore, but I guess it wasn't worth stripping your vocal chords to shriek every word in the movie script.
ReplyDeleteAnd, the eyes aren't right -- Palin's (at that point) were aching to wink. Now, of course, they are aching to droop and/or cross.
But the trailer is only a snippet. We'll see...
Rachel Maddow hits Sarah hard:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fNYza7yaaI&feature=
Before all the trolls chime in saying "You don't know Sarah" (not you, Olivia; that was cute), this movie was based on a book written by someone who knows her. What say you now?
ReplyDeleteJulianne Moore totally missed the smug lookk $Palin had upon her acceptance of the nomination.
ReplyDeleteI distinctly remember how smug that mug was.
I'm in agreement with the other posters about the voice. Julianne just doen't have the "chalk on blackboard" screech right.
ReplyDeleteAnd the actor playing McCain seems too normal. At that point McCain was sarcastic and angry in many interviews. I remember clips of him where he was rude to reporters and refused to answer questions. He seemed to have a real short fuse. He also seemed to be very confused in many interviews.
I wonder who plays Bristol and Levi.
ReplyDelete6:11 AM
Whoever plays Bristol has to be a great actress.....
She would have to learn to moan on cue, eat a lot, screw on a hard dirt floor and grind strange boys on dance floors in front of her pa pa.
Remember Everybody...Gov Dirty was cleaned up by the RNC and had a voice coach...what we see now of Dirty is not what she looked like when she was first presented.
ReplyDeleteNow she looks like YABBA DABA DO DO!
Just seeing this trailer reminded me of the real fear I had at that time of McCain and Palin becoming President and Vice-President. I was terrified for awhile.
ReplyDeleteAmerica didn't have much room left to make any mistakes in regard to it's economy. Not after the Bush Administration decimated it. I realized McCain would have continued on it's same path, and Palin WAS George Bush, without his intelligence.
It can still give me nightmares at night. We truly dodged a bullet there.
The only problem I see where they could improve upon Julianne face to be much closer to Sarah's, is to give her Sarah's wonky crossed eyes and an oversize square mans jaw. Someone also mentioned, and I agree, they need to add a shrill annoying voice to the character.
ReplyDeleteOT- but did you see Kathleen Parker's column honoring Christopher Hitchens? Our dear Sarah gets a mention!

For those who might disparage Moore's inability to adequately play Palin, I implore you to watch Anthony Hopkin's portryal of Nixon.
ReplyDeleteOnce one gets past the first 10 minutes of the film, it becomes exceedingly difficult escape the authenticity of his depiction of the man.
I wonder if the movie Sarah will be carrying around a prop DS baby? This portrayal should be very interesting.

The actor who played Mini-Me in the Austin Powers movies made up to look like John McCain!
London Bridges
Physical beauty is mostly fleeting and skin-deep while a beautiful spirit is timeless. In contrast, the blood-chilling ugliness of the Fizzled Mama is irredeemably soul-deep, pitiably obvious, poisonous to those around her and eternal.
ReplyDeleteYa know, I really should STOP BASHING PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW PERSONALLY!!!!!
But I can't help myself.
I remember sending a note to John McCain back then telling him how horribly he'd goofed in putting Sarah Palin on his ticket. Turned out I was spot on!
ReplyDeleteJulianne Moore = class. Sarah Palin = hash
ReplyDeleteI see theyre going for the overly dramatized, biased approach. Her hair is redder than Sarah's there.
ReplyDeleteHer reveal is pretty standard. Wonder who the stunt double is.
Julianne's range of looks is pretty astounding. She nailed Hillary too.
ReplyDeleteAnon421, Sarah was reading her script. Her ROLE was anti Obama. Remember, before that point, she didnt hate him. She takes on roles that are handed her.
ReplyDeleteWhats sad is, shes right about obama now. She may be blunt but shes typically right.
Her public persona is hella different from who she is. She's naturally a very compassionate, selfless person.
Can't believe Ms. Moore is older than Palin. She looks a decade younger. Palin reminds me of Anna Benson, another hateful right winger who got by with being a bitch because she, Anna, had big cans and long hair. Now, as Baseball Wives will attest, Anna Benson's insides are oozing out her pores, and she looks like a cross between Anna Nicole Smith and Jabba the Hut.
ReplyDeleteWe don't get HBO. Any chance this will be made into a DVD?
ReplyDeleteI wanted Katey Segal to play her...none does a bitch better than Katey, except the grifter herself!
ReplyDeleteKatey also has that jawline & "fire in the belly nastiness"!
I've read some amazing reviews of Julianne Moore, but she seems to nice not bitchy enough?
IMHO, the perfect actress to portray the idiot would have been Jane Badler of "V" fame. She had the "mean and psycotic me-me-me" down perfectly. She even had the looks to pull it off. Timing is everything.
ReplyDeleteHave to agree with other posters that Julianne Moore neither sounded screechy enough nor looked smug enough to truly capture the true essence of ViPer candidate Palin.

She makes it soooooooo hard to control the loathe. I'm a Christian, and I always say my hatred of Sarah Palin is something the Lord will have to overlook, because it is something I can't help. She is so smug, and stupid, and mean, and is so proud of herself for all of that. Last night on Last Word they were talking about how petty she was, over the Christmas card, over everything. She is a boil on the butt of humanity. She loves to irritate, that is why her sourpuss face worsens every year. Like they say, the face you have at 20 is a gift, the face you have at 50 is the one you really deserve. Scrooge McPailn thinks plastic surgery will help, but she can't run from herself.

Oh please, Palin troll, a decent person wouldn't have "played the part." This is real life, fool, not a movie. She is what she is, even her kids don't like her, and they are as bad as she is, as we've seen, many, many times.
Even though Julianne Moore is older than Quitty, she has a soft, feminine look to her face. I don't doubt that Julianne will do a fine job with the part, but I wish they had cast some other actress with a harder, more masculine jaw line and a wonkey eye.
ReplyDeleteI hope John McCain and Steve Schmidt watch, and relive their part in picking this hateful, shrieking harpy to the American political scene. Damn them both.
I thought she was merely ignorant and spiteful until the Branchflower report was released.
When she said it proved she was innocent, I knew she was an insane person, and was terrified when she was not IMMEDIATELY pulled from the campaign.
Thank you America for choosing Obama!
@9:22 BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Must be from the sea o pee.
ReplyDeleteCompassionate people DON'T take on scripts bashing people for self-less reasons. Her public persona is the only one I care about and it's nasty. Making excuses for a 47-year-old is pathetic and she should be ashamed of her actions.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for this! Tick, tick, tick ...
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Next Chapter about the nightmares and dodging the bullet in 2008.
ReplyDeleteMy nightmare today is that with the current GOP clowns of the week someone like Jeb Bush or Chris Christie will step in and appear so un-clown-like by comparison that they'll attract independents.
Will we be lucky enough to dodge the bullet twice?
Uma Thurmon. She would have captured the soulless evil beneath the lapdance politics of this skank perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how Ms. Moore and Mr. Mcginniss got rid of the stink after immersion into all things Palin.
ReplyDeleteEveryone hates Sarah Palin!
ReplyDeleteEspecially her so-called family!
PRESIDENT Obama is BETTER than NOBODY Palin.
HAHAHA!
i am afraid that Moor's portrayal of Palin will fall short of the Palin we have all come to know and loathe. Moore is just too sweet. There is nothing sweet about Palin.
ReplyDeleteUma Thurmon, of Pulp Fiction fame, would have been perfect for Sarah, the Queen of Mean. Thurmon would have been able to pull off the evil interior of Mrs Palin hidden by a self-fabricated image of her projected fantasy of herself. Thurmon would have been able to capture the tension between the two, which I am sure Sarah must deal with daily.
ReplyDeleteHuffPo, December 13, 2011:
ReplyDeleteAt an event last week, the 51-year-old actress told the New York Daily News she "read every single thing" she could about the former Alaska governor and "watched every interview" in order to prepare for her role as Palin in next year's HBO mini-series, "Game Change."
All that information must have been eye-opening for Moore, right? Not so much.
When asked if she had developed a newfound respect for Palin after all her research, the actress raised an eyebrow and sighed deeply. "No," she told the paper quietly.
I'll certainly watch this movie, and I am looking forward to it. I hope I am not disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Ms. Moore will pull out all the stops regarding Sarah's craziness. No one, who has not been following her "career," would believe it.

Wait...What?? I didn't know Gov Dirty Wig™ was an actress playing the part of an insane, stupid, pathological liar, fake pregnancy, cheating spouse, neglectful mother VP candidate in 2008!! What other roles is Gov Dirty Wig™ up for...troll?
Hmmm....I can see her playing the lead role in Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3!
Since she's lost the election and QUIT her job as Governor...she's been yapping at America's heels and won't STFU! That's the perfect role for her!
At Waterford’s Live A Crystal Life party Center548 in Chelsea on Thursday night, the flame-haired actress told us she ‘read every single thing’ she could about the Grizzly Mama and ‘watched every interview’ in order to prepare for her role as the former Alaska governor in next spring’s HBO mini-series, ‘Game Change.’ But when we asked Moore if she’d developed a newfound respect for Palin after delving deeper into her life, the actress, 51, raised an eyebrow and sighed deeply. ‘No,’ she said quietly.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.politico.com/blogs/click/2011/12/julianne-moore-not-impressed-by-palin-106917.html
nope....not impressed. More likely she's in shock.
anon @ 6:37
ReplyDeletecheck out stoney jack's profile - shudder- he can't discuss any female conservative without some kind of sexual connotation. Sounds like he votes for the "hottest" candidate.
Unfortunately, based on that tiny clip, Moore is making Palin seem way too competent. The signature aspect of Palin's persona is that odd combination of awkwardness and over-casualness that makes her as unconvincing as a talent-lacking kid in a bad highschool play.
ReplyDeleteMoore, you're trying way too hard. I'd suggest smoking a couple of reefers and drinking a pint of Bailey's to get into character.

Hi, Sarah. Where is Trig's birth certificate? Did his mommy ever give you a copy? No? Didn't think so.
Oh yeah, I'll definitely be watching it. I was shocked when they cast Julianne Moore. I like her as an actress, but I was just like "WTF?"
ReplyDeleteBut she does pull it off. Though Tina Fey is better, I don't know if she could portray Palin in a serious manner.
This is just a teaser, can't wait to see her in meltdown catatonic mode. Julianne Moore is a fantastic actress, I hope portraying this nutcase doesn't harm her career. Who wants to be type cast as a female howdy doody?
ReplyDeleteMarilou Henner of Taxi fame would have been great in this role. Henner with a pair of Palin's glasses would have been a good likeness and would have played the part perfectly.
ReplyDeleteGryphen: What are your sources tellnig you about the forthcoming Palin e-mails? You know, the ones that cover the last nine months or so of her governorship? Do you suppose they'll be as heavily redacted (and hence journalistically worthless) as the previously released ones?
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that Halperin didn't rely on Nichole Wallace's testimony as heavily as he could have for his book. Wallace's input re:2008 might have pre-empted a good deal of the subsequent Palin media circus of 2009-2010.
