So who's going to see Sarah's movie?

Chuck Norris supports Huckabee. Chuck Norris didn’t even get to start the race, let alone lose it.

Although, I personally think Chuck Norris lost it long ago.

Oh…Please God, let this happen!

The only thing I’ve heard about it so far is that it inexplicably quits half way through.

Is this FINALLY a thread in which it is appropriate to suggest pirating it? :wink:

Still wouldn’t. Can’t imagine the viruses the star has, much less the file. :eek:

The website sez it is showing in

Grapevine, Texas
Houston, Texas
Highlands Ranch, Colorado
Indianapolis, Indiana
Independence, Missouri
Kennesaw, Georgia
Oklahoma [City], Oklahoma
Orange, California
Orlando, Florida
Phoenix, Arizona

So go on and get out to see it! Hurry!

Offered without comment: One reporter’s viewing experience in Orange Co. California

That’s brilliant. Release it at the same time as one of the biggest movie releases ever, so when no one goes to see they can just blame Harry Potter.

So far, it has a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes:

Ah, REAL America!

What is up with that 1981 clamshell VHS case looking movie poster?

Trying to trick people into thinking it’s a Van Damme movie?

You could not PAY me enough money to sit through that thing.

Okay, well, maybe you could pay me enough money. But I’d smuggling in an MP3 player with earplugs and listen to a book on tape throughout the thing.

I imagine in Highlands Ranch, CO, which is a relatively affluent suburb of mostly white Republicans, it’ll get some good audiences.

My SO’s parents living in Orange County and it’s really, really conservative. I’m surprised there weren’t any other viewers at that showing.

HA! It is showing in Independence! I could cut off work and catch the 4:05 run.
God, why do I feel dirty just looking at the showtimes for this?

That’s a nicely written piece.

‘I hurried through the teenage hordes, bypassed a concession stand that sold 1,020 calories of soda for $5.25, and entered theater number 30, hoping I’d have ample time before the previews to talk to some people. But inside, the theater was empty. I sat there alone for 20 minutes, at which point an usher stuck his head in the door, gave me a quizzical smile, and said, “How come you’re not watching Harry Potter?” Then he left me by myself again, and without any good answer.’

Heh!

This quote is good, too:

'Afterward, I found a theater manager, told him I was a reporter, and asked if he could give me numbers about ticket sales. “Did anyone pay and not show up?” He said that they’d sold out all the Harry Potter movies until 2 a.m., and that all 5,000 seats looked full. “No,” I said, “I saw the Sarah Palin movie. Do you know the figures for that one?”

“Oh,” he said, “I can’t release sales figures.”

“In hindsight, do you wish you’d had one more screen showing Harry Potter?”

He had no comment.’

Some of the comments on the article are suggesting the empty theater was staged.

True?

If so, that’s extremely irritating and a very cheap shot on part of the journalist.

The way the state flag elements are deployed around SP, it could be saying “the star is a big dip.”

Well, I don’t think the core audience for that movie is the type to go to a midnight screening.

Looks like she’s taking a dump. Very weird.

Yeah, probably not. But I dunno, some of the fans who show up for Palin book signings seem every bit as fanatic (hence, “fan”) as Harry Potter fans.

Yes, the suggestion is that, instead of selling as many tickets as they could, the theater ran a surprise midnight showing of the Palin movie without advertising it so that one journalist could sit alone in the theater and write an embarrassing review.

Sounds implausible. However, I think it’s a valid point to make that the target audience probably isn’t a mdnight movie type of crowd…
