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.

Sunday Sermon (Sex & Money)

¡Hola! Everybody... You know all this is weird for me -- I’m not a Christian, though I was raised as one. I don’t really celebrate Christmas. To me this is all a lot of nonsense to make us buy things. There is very little that’s spiritual about Christmas. Sure, if I had a kid, I would most certainly celebrate Christmas -- it’s not an evil thing and it would be horribly cruel to make a kid go through the cultural trauma of a Christmas without acknowledging at least some part of it.

But, I don’t celebrate Christmas now, though my family does and sometimes it’s a little tiring.

This year, I will not be posting everyday, it takes too much out of me...

“My life has a superb cast but I can't figure out the plot.”

-- Ashleigh Brilliant(1933– )

Imagine, if you can, going out and seeing a reasonably trustworthy-looking stranger you find sexy. Imagine giving this sexually attractive (to you) stranger some money, looking him or her in the eyes and saying, “I’m doing this as part of an assigned exercise. I’m supposed to give some money to somebody really sexy. Then I am to have no further discussion with you.”

As you imagine doing this exercise, how does it feel to give someone money while admitting out loud he or she is sexy?

Most of us are a wee bit complicated about both sex and money. Essentially, there are forms of energy exchange, which can be as simple as an unexpected gift, or as complicated as a lawsuit.

Sex and money: the sources of our desire and disappointment, our hopes and fears.

To live fully, as far as I’m concerned is to live every moment so that no residue remains except the free openness of love. Sex and money are most often our least lived domains, these are the areas smeared with the most residue -- the most baggage. Therefore, few people (if they are honest) can imagine doing this exercise without some lingering clinging of an emotional complication.

I have found that the best way to discover how live fully is to break the usual rules, in the least risky ways, in order to find out where the obstructions reside within us.

Repeat this exercised, or invent one of your own that require you to imagine offering gifts beyond your comfort zone. As you learn to give despite your fears, your sexual and financial lives can be lived according to what serves openness the most, rather than being ruled by the consequences of living a fear-based life, holding your gifts back.

It’s easy to become stuck in your own personal soap operas of sex and money. What you can’t live as openness, offered without baggage, creates sickness in your life. Yet, the price of discovering where you’re stuck sexually and financially may be more than what you’re willing to invest.

The core question today being do you maintain no sexual or financial secrets? These secrets are among your most secret refusals to live openly as love.

Are you willing to face, feel, confess, and open beyond your every sexual and financial complication now? MY life has taught me that human birth is for those who are not quite ready but may be on the verge -- willing -- that’s the reason why you are here as your are.

If your issue was about swinging from a vine, you would’ve been born an ape.

Love,

Eddie
