Palin Film Premiers To - EMPTY - Theater In Orange County

Palin Film Premiers To Empty Theater In Orange County | After much hype, Sarah Palin’s poorly-named documentary The Undefeated premiered last night in a whopping 10 theaters around the country, but that may have been too many because in Orange County, California, no one showed up. Literally. The area is a bastion of conservative politics and Palin herself visited the affluent OC as recently as October, but when Atlantic editor Conor Friedersdor attended the premier last night, he “sat through the whole movie alone.” Friedersdor reflects:

*****Instead of researching civil liberties violations, or the war in Libya, or the contest to elect the next president of the United States, I was both a journalist and the only member of the public willfully paying attention to Sarah Palin, as if standing in for the pathologies of my profession.

1. The lamestream librul media is behind this

They prolly didn't advertise the screening. Conservatives don't go to movies. Uh, it was Thursday night, and that's Conservatives' Game and Prayin' to Jesus night. It's a conspiracy, man!

2. First Atlas Shrugged, now this!!1!

THIS IS NOT 'MERICA!!!1!!

11. Plus, Ben Stein's movie "Expelled"

which apparently is what happened to his box office.

16. Oh, is that what you call it? I'd call it "hitching my wagon to a turd" . . . .

But that's just me . . .

4. Someone forgot to order the busses

5. Was there ever any doubt? The Grifter is in it for the $$$, and only for the $$$.

Faux, Hannity and the Freepers take her seriously. Sentient beings see her for the Grifter she is.

6. I knew the advance sales were dismal when "organizing for Palin"

Sent out an urgent email asking "mobilizers" to buy tickets and give them away, LOL.

Pin on your Palin Pride!!



Oh be still my heart! They should give away a "Palin Decoder Ring" with magic decoding properties, if you have it you don't have to wait for her to "clarify" all her statements the next day....

[hatrack]

18. BE . . SURE . . . TO . . . .DRINK . . . YOUR . . . OVALTINE

That's IT?!?! A crummy commercial?!?!?

[Brother Buzz]

8. Watching that movie must be a Clockwork Orange-like experience

I give Conor Friedersdor credit for his bravery. I could not stand listening to Quitter Barbie's voice for more than 30 seconds.

9. I can imagine this becoming the new Uptown Theater's "midnight movie". Move over Pricilla

and Dr Frankenfurter. Let's do the moose warp again!

[stanwyck]

13. Do we all get to dress up like Sarah? Will the GOP fund our

designer wardrobes?

[MisterP]

22. Todd: "your candidacy is a failure, we return to Wasilla, prepare the transit beam..."

(looks at Sarah for a long time)
she flounces off

[zazen]

10. I have tears streaming down my face . . .

The comments are even funnier than the article.

"Ha! Making out during The Undefeated? Almost as bad as making out during Schindler's List. "

This "documentary" sounds like a great find for MST3000, if it were still on the air.

17. If she can't sell tickets in the most right wing county in Collieforneea

She can't sell them anywhere. Of course even those who claim to like Palin would probably draw the line at sitting through 2 hours of her bullshit. :rofl:

[Rex]

19. And yet the M$M pushed her onto us hoping another peice of shit

would stick to the wall and not just plop off onto the floor.

[fascisthunter]

20. the right wing sells itslef like used car dealers sell "lemons"

[AverageJoe90]

23. LOL, and if that flopped......

Can't wait to see one made about Ron Paul. If things go as well for him as they did here, he'd be the laughingstock of the whole nation, along with Ol' Caribou Sal here! :evilgrin:
