In the Simpsons’ episode “A Star is Burns,” famed billionaire Charles Montgomery Burns wanted to improve his personal image and wanted members of the general public to admire him. He decided to produce a film, directed by Senor Spielbergo, which put him in a positive light. The Springfield film festival crowd was not impressed and booed the picture.
This led to Burns asking Mr. Smithers, if they were booing him. Smither replied, “No, sir, they’re saying boo-urns, boo-urns.”
The new film “The Undefeated” documents the life of Sarah Palin before she arrived on the national political stage. It chronicles her personal life and her time as Mayor of Wasilla and Governor of Alaska. The documentary is inspired by the book “Going Rogue: An American Life.”
The Palin film debuted in 10 selected American cities. The Politico reports that the documentary’s producers and distributors, ARC Entertainment, are looking to get a wider release “later this month.”
How is the documentary faring amongst the audience and critics? Not good. Not good at all.
The feature length documentary received a zero percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer for an average rating of 2.9/10. The movie reviewing website’s audience meter also has zero percent.
Over at IMDB.com, the pro-Sarah Palin film garnered 1.5/10 from 247 IMDB users. It also has a metascore of 34/100.
National film critics labelled the film as “propaganda,” “hagiography,” “idolatrous air brushing” and an “infomercial of almost comical omissions.”
DID YOU KNOW ......................... The names Sarah Palin and Bristol Palin will soon carry the ® symbol after them, as the culmination of a months-long process for the two celebrities appears at hand, thanks to approval of their trademark applications by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
The marketing move appears designed at allowing the former Alaskan short-term governor to cash in on the 40-plus million voting Americans who previously considered her vice presidential material. For her daughter, Bristol, the move appears to be monetary as well.
