Palin 2.0 A confusing biopic and bus tour won’t revive her fortunes (Kyle Smith, NY Post)
Film review: The Undefeated (by Ed Morrissey, Hot Air)
I also want to say that I listened to Bannon's explanation of why the length (two hours) on "The Blogger's Briefing" and his enthusiasm is clearly contagious -- I'm very much looking forward to seeing it and am prepared to purchase a copy. But, if there are editing issues, I would hope that they are corrected before the final commercial release.
Excellent!
Thank you very much. I appreciate it and look forward to seeing Sarah’s movie.
I’m really hoping that next summer this movie is shown on the Lifetime tv channel. The people who profess to hating Sarah Palin are not going to go to the movies to see it, but many of those Oprah women fans do watch Lifetime tV.
Sometime soon, I plan to go back and find OTHER audio/video interviews with Steve Bannon...
...and post THEM here, too!THANK YOU for helping with this thread!

Hotel Charlie 2—The recievers blinkin you old Signalman. Thanks for the support.
I didn’t remember sending out a Bravo India.
When is this coming to my area (Milwaukee). I can’t wait. If you have a ping list, please add my name.
LoL. Must have been a switch screwup.
She is the Mule.
"The Undefeated" is being screened for D.C. reporters all day, with the film's director Steve Bannon on hand to answer questions.
After the screening I saw, Bannon revealed that the movie would start to arrive in theaters on July 15, in a limited release in a couple of states. (Andy Barr says the states include, funny enough, Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.) The movie now has a distributor, Cinedyne, and its ad campaign will start up next week.
"Every day next week, there'll be another announcement," said Bannon.
-- snip --
...Palin herself won't be involved in the promotion of the film.
Bannon didn't want to involve her in the production in any way; he just showed the completed film to Todd and Sarah, and was pleased when they were "blown away." Palin's voice does appear in the film as clips from the Going Rogue audiobook, which Bannon licensed...
-- snip --
...The movie cost $1 million to make, and Bannon was perfectly confident that it would succeed. Ideally it would break big with a mass audience, but even if it didn't, there was a built-in crowd.
"There's enough Palinistas out there, although I certainly didn't make this for the Palinistas," he said. "They know this stuff anyway.
I made it for a middle class audience that doesn't really know anything about her, doesn't know what she's really accomplished..."
-- snip --
...I'll have a full review of the movie tomorrow; for now, I can say that Bannon went into detail about a release strategy that made much more sense than the release of Atlas Shrugged, before anyone goes and makes that comparison.
"It's very unusual for a documentary, unless it's a Michael Moore documentary, to get into a theater, to have a major theatrical release," he said. "People aren't used to seeing a documentary that's two hours long and about a political figure. Not in summer.
The SVOD, VOD, pay-per-view guys, say this is a perfect product for us -- this is something families can order and sit around and watch."
Perhaps I will break down and actually order a “Pay for View” for the first time in my life, if it doesn’t come here.
