The Undefeated - 1.5 Rating and lots of hate on IMDB

07/20/2011 | Oshkalaboomboom

[Oshkalaboomboom]

The Sarah Palin documentary is getting hammered on IMDB by progressive trolls spewing hate and voting without ever seeing the film. If you want to see Palin Derangement syndrome at its finest look here Rotten Tomatoes is just as bad but IMDB is more popular. IMDB is also owned and run by Amazon if you want to complain about it.

[NoGrayZone]

I have not yet seen the documentary; therefore, I cannot comment.

I have been putting in my zip code almost everyday to try to get it out here on Long Island.

I have quite a few people in mind to try to convince to come see it once it is shown here.

[NoGrayZone]

"Where, do we all suppose, Mrs. Palin would be - after two years - on that very same scale?"

I suspect on the same path she was early in the Govern-ship of Alaska........high approval ratings.

Thanks for the OING, EveningStar!

As I posted previously, from conservatives4palin.com:

ACTION ALERT!

Rate "The Undefeated" on IMDB!

A reminder of what IMDB is:

#38 global site, #25 US site, 57 millions unique users per month.

IOW, a HUGE site, extremely influential to all movie-goers and movie-fans around the world.

The Undefeated is still rated there at 1.5.

But since yesterday we are gaining ground:

- the "1" votes are 166 (66%)
- the "10" votes are 76 (30%)

As you can see, the Opposition is still adamant about dragging the film down (almost a 100 more "1" since yesterday). They know that the site is influentual. So there's still got some work at hand.

Now, it's a matter of "who's got the numbers" (I know we do) and who will blink first (I know we won't).

Please go there: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1961604

- RATE the film, by scrolling your mouse on the stars under the title, and click on the rate you wish (a "10" would be a good idea);
rating it an "8" or "9" might actually be BETTER: see strategy below)
this procedure is the most important and it takes one second.

- vote up good reviews;
- vote down bad reviews (this is important, because the review with the best average gets displayed on the main page)
- post a review if you can;
- pass the link on FB, twitter, and every site you know, and tell them to rate the film.
- while you're at it, rate up Bannons's films: he really deserves it.

Fight the Propaganda Machine.
There's a campaign coming.

You can do it, Palin Patriots!

I should mention that based on my observations, a "9" vote will move the average up more than a "10" vote.

This is because of the algorithm imdb uses to figure its "weighted average."

It is supposed to discourage just what the libs are now doing -- stuffing the ballot box with "1's."

If I am right, then once a substantial number of votes are tallied, the "1's" and the "10's" will be weighted less -- and a "9" will carry more weight.

It appears that you are correct!

From www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?ratingsexplanation:

Weighted Average Ratings

IMDb publishes weighted vote averages rather than raw data averages.

Various filters are applied to the raw data in order to eliminate and reduce attempts at 'vote stuffing' by individuals more interested in changing the current rating of a movie than giving their true opinion of it.

The exact methods we use will not be disclosed. This should ensure that the policy remains effective. The result is a more accurate vote average.

It's a propaganda film: if you like Palin you like the movie.

OKkkkayy.

So since you have seen the movie, what was the propaganda?

What was said that was not the truth?

What was said that stretched the truth?

What truth was left out?

BTW, I've seen the movie as well.

What makes the movie a Propaganda film?

The Cardiff Internet Movie Database (now IMDB) was great in the old days, when it was basically a script front-end to files to hook them up to the web (this being an improvement over the old USENET lists).

Many of us early contributors weren’t too happy to find out that our work was being sold to Amazon without even telling us.

Keep in mind that the DNC has a professional cadre of 24/7 online trolls whose job is to leave nasty comments and smears at all the various media outlets.

This was one of Axelrod's specialties during the 2007 and 2008 campaign.

I suspect on the same path she was early in the Govern-ship of Alaska........high approval ratings.

What is the basis for your projection??? Recall....in AL, she'd had none of the "national bashing" she's absorbed since 2008 (except for the incredible bashing that was a principle cause of her leaving office before the term completed), and now, there are a very very large group of voters who - regardless of what Mrs. Palin would do or accomplish during her first two years...are completely, totally, unchangeably, and unalterably opposed to her - in the most visceral sense.

A Governor that reaches 93% approval and consistently polled in the 80s, is a unifier, not a polarizer.

I remember Reagan being in the same situation, the media had the public very suspicious of him and it saw Reagan as a radical, dangerous right winger, but he managed to campaign past that, win office, and become immensely popular.

Thanks for that background. Had no idea about imdb`s beginnings. Am a huge movie junkie and I use imdb for checking credits of writers, directors, composers etc. but it`s a pathetic place when it comes to serious discussion of film for the most part. Way too oriented toward the People and blockbuster movie kids. [Have Murnau`s Faust on right now to give you an idea of where I`m coming from. :]

[NELSON111]

i registered and rated. It took a minute. Come on lazy freepers!

[antiRepublicrat]

Back then it was for real movie buffs, and all contributions were vetted by editors, who were formerly people who maintained various related lists. We’re talking some thousands of contributors, not millions. Quality was high.

Now every idiot contributes information, comments and ratings, and the quality has likewise suffered.

[frogjerk]

How can I rate the movie that I have never even seen? I don't want to be a hypocrite like a lib.

From the PREVIOUS thread:

Strong opening weekend fuels film’s expansion to

Santa Monica, Calif. (July 18, 2011) ⎯ ARC Entertainment today announced "The Undefeated,"
which chronicles Sarah Palin’s rise from obscurity to national prominence,
will roll out to additional AMC Theatres (AMC) beginning on Friday, July 22^nd.
-- snip --

This coming Friday the film will play in the following AMC theatres:
-- snip --

Ontario Mills 30 -

- 4549 Mills Circle, Ontario, CA  91764

And from www.movietickets.com, the show times are:

Friday, July 22 -- 11:10am, 1:55pm, 4:50pm, 7:45pm, 10:35pm

This, I think, is a strategy that we can DUPLICATE nationwide...

...aggressively promote seeing THE MOVIE -- and attending an "AFTER PARTY."

And then, at the "AFTER PARTY," in addition to building relationships through FOOD and FELLOWSHIP...

...we exchange CONTACT INFORMATION, get them signed up for the O4P NEWSLETTER, and start planning for our NEXT EVENT.

Thanks for the direction on how to vote. Don't even need to see the flick.
