Ed Harris as John McCain, Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin
I have HBO and didn’t bother to watch it...watched instead Yanni in Concert in El Morro, Puerto Rico on GPB.
I like Palin..I always have. I find it curious that the left HAD to make a movie of Palin. I think they are still scared she will run in one capacity or another and they fear her.
“...the widespread misperception that John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign was a well-oiled machine.”
While I’m sure this propaganda epic is probably nothing more than a counter version of “Lenin in October,” he kind of lost me with that statement. I thought McCain’s campaign bordered on the bizarre.
I find it interesting the two writers admit to stealing portions from going rogue.
They also admit to fabricating events for dramatic effect.
Since woody “pot” harildson (sp?) is in this it speaks volumes to the low credibility of the project.
That’s all right, I’ve heard that the producers of “Game Change” are working on a movie about Obama called “Barack: The Leftist Radical the Media Hid From the Public.” Obama’s radical past, all the leftist wackos he hung out with, and all his disastrous decisions as president stemming from his radicalism will be in the flick. (smirk)
Schmidt, Wallace and the producers swear that everything in GC is the truth. In the scenes where it shows Palin alone or where it shows Sarah and Todd talking, who witnessed them? Did they bug Palin? Are Jason Recher and Randy Scheunemann lying? What would be funny if Jason and Randy suggested that all of them take a polygraph.
If Schmidt admits that the scene showing McCain saying, “bring me a woman” didn’t actually happen, why should we believe any of it?
The biggest disappointment is that so many of the GOPe are sitting on their hands, or even worse, attended the premier.
I don’t know who’s more scared of Palin, the left or the GOPe. It may be the GOPe because Palin will reform and rebuild the GOP. She’ll do it from the bottom up and she’ll have the support of Rush and Levin while she’s doing it. She will turn the GOP into a Conservative Populist party as opposed to a Squishy Semi-Conservative Statist party. It may take ten years to accomplish, but by that time she’ll be ready to move into the WH.
Isn’t it a bit silly to watch a pretend movie about Sarah Palin with a liberal pretending to be Sarah Palin, when the real Sarah Palin and her actual real campaign is by coincidence being show right this very minute on the cable channel “REELZ”.
The real movie, about the real campaign, with the real Sarah Palin, the real Andrew Breitbart, the Real Tammy Bruce.
“The Undefeated”.
Is on right now.
