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

Courtesy of Movieline:

In a move that probably should have happened two weeks ago, ARC Entertainment — the Santa Monica-based distributor of Stephen K. Bannon’s Palin documentary — announced that they would make the film available through on demand services starting on Sept. 1, backed by “a multi-million dollar marketing campaign.” Additionally, 250,000 Undefeated DVDs will hit stores around the country on Oct. 4, with a special edition version reserved for Walmart shelves. (How this will all dovetail with Palin’s will-she-won’t-she presidential run remains to be seen.)

“The Undefeated is a terrific case study for a digital cinema release,” said Jill Newhouse Calcaterra, the chief marketing officer at Cinedigm, which is the film’s digital distributor.

Indeed it may prove to be, Jill. However, if ARC and Cinedigm is correct in their respective assumptions — that The Undefeated will play well in the home entertainment market, since a majority of its potential audience probably isn’t able to get to one of the 14 theaters playing the film currently — the question must be raised: why release The Undefeated as a standalone theatrical property in the first place? So stories about how it played at an empty theater could disseminate across the blogosphere and make it look like a joke?

You know THAT is a pretty good question. (Before I go on I would just like to say to whoever decided to release the film theatrically so that we could make fun it, thank you, I really did enjoy that!)

However I think I might be able to answer this question.

You see Mr. Movie Critic, believe it or not the director of this film, Sarah Palin, and her supporters, all believed this turkey could actually fly. (They must have missed the WKRP Thanksgiving episode.)

They actually thought, now get this, that if people were exposed to their highly sanitized version of Palin governing Alaska, that they would be compelled to support her candidacy for President in 2012.

Yeah I know, sounds ridiculous right?

But keep in mind this is not unusual thinking for Palin and her reality challenged supporters.

Don't forget that this is the same woman who somehow imagined that she could force her family to stay with her on a, doomed from the start, bus tour, that she could quit said bus tour after only five days, could then claim that she really didn't quit but only took time off for jury duty, and then could attend a premiere of this film while still supposedly a potential juror, AND that nobody would notice that all of this smelled distinctly to moose poop.

She is also the same woman who believed that THIS clip would put to rest any claims that she was not really a hunter.



(Well I have to admit that answered all of MY questions about her hunting ability, how about you guys?)

Like I said, these people TRULY believed that putting Palin on celluloid and projecting her onto a giant screen, would absolutely convince people that she was an impressive figure worth supporting in 2012.

However in the face of embarrassing ticket sales and universally negative reviews from the critics, it is NO surprise that the producers of Palin's propaganda film have given up on its ability to find an audience in the theaters, and have decided to put it on Pay-Per-View right along with "Sticky Sweet Lesbians" and "MILFs in Heat 12."  (After all in this day and age who wants to be caught masturbating to their fantasy President in a dirty old theater?)

If her sycophants could get their heads out of the clouds, and their hands out of their pants long enough, they might be able to recognize that EVERYTHING Palin is connected with ends up failing (How is that gas line coming along Alaska?), and that EVERYTHING she starts, she ends up quitting.

But I guess that is asking a lot from people who still get their information from this site:

Here Are the Theaters That Will Show The Undefeated for Its Week 3 Comeback

It’s really important to pack these theaters, especially the ones in South Carolina and Ohio. She’s polling well in both states despite the fact that the mainstream and so-called conservative media have purposefully misled Republican and Republican-leaning independents into believing that she won’t run. Let’s force the media to report a Week 3 comeback for The Undefeated.

 I would like to thank the lunatics at the Sea O'Pee for helping me to make my point.
