Coming soon: A Palin movie
By ANDY BARR | 5/24/11 11:29 PM EDT

A two-hour film promoting Sarah Palin will premiere in Iowa next month, serving as a potential launch to a presidential campaign.

RealClearPolitics first reported the details of the film. The announcement was confirmed to POLITICO.

Conservative filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon was approached by Palin’s camp last year about making a series of videos, the website reported. Bannon in turn suggested a feature-length film, titled “The Undefeated.”

Bannon paid for the cost of making the film – reportedly $1 million – which is designed to help rehabilitate her image and restore her ties to hardcore constituents.

1. even the title is a lie. She lost in 2008, remember?
I guess when you have no real accomplishments, you get a movie producer to make you fictional ones. Anyways, ought to be good for some Tina Fey reinterpretations.

2. I just want to know
What delusional crack pot could come up with two hours of good things to say about palin? I bet 1 hour 30 mins of it is about her winning miss congeniality. Another 29 minutes about her mad moose/wolf hunting skills from a chopper. And the final minute related to her mastery of the english language. (she can read. The back of her hand.)

3. It would only appeal to the concentrated, congealed muck at the bottom of the cup right wingers
i.e. the beetle-browed, mouth-breathing, knuckle dragging, spittle-spraying Rethug base that loves her already. She's the most unpopular politician in the nation. The more she tries to focus the camera on herself, the more she annoys people.

9. I'd rather see "Battlefield Earth 2" or anything with Pauly Shore.
Even a 3-D reenactment of Katie Couric's colonoscopy would be more appealing.

11. They should call it the Quitter or the Grifter. they can make a movie about
almost anything. they have made movies about trailer trash too (i do not mean to denigrate trailer trash). I am sure they'll put some lipstick on this pig and make her look like mother of the year and that somehow she was cheated or something and got screwed. it's hollywood.... i tell my kids stories are great because you can imagine anything..... you can imagine you are magice or flying... or in the grifters case... not a sociopath.

19. The Balloon Juice commenters have fun with alternative names
Hundreds of them: http://www.balloon-juice.com/2011/05/24/coming-soon-to-a-theatre-near-you/

"Triumph of the Shill" wins it, for me.

22. from a film professional
Trust me, a $1 million budget is miniscule in making a two-hour feature film. This is not a movie for theaters it is a two-hour infomercial to be viewed by the Palin faithful only. Nobody who is not already brainwashed will sit through a two-hour propaganda session from a third-rate filmmaker. Take the example of "Atlas Shrugged": http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekly&id=atlasshrugged.htm

The first week, $7,411 per theater (all the faithful show up) (only 299 theaters versus a typical release of 3,000+ theaters)

It went straight downhill from there---nobody but the already-brainwashed showed up plus a small amount of curious onlookers.

32. Well, some people say the title is a lie, but
if you ALWAYS quit before the end of the game,it can't be said that you've been defeated!! Go Sarah!! I'm in it for the comedy value.
