Hopefully for the sake of Sarah and her fan base, Willow will soon carry on that proud family tradition.

Who gives a f*ck?

NEWS FLASH!!!!!

Sarah Palin wears shoes! That’s right. She wears shoes. And shoes are made of leather. Or vinyl. Conclusion: Sarah Palin hates animals and wants their skin for shoes, and supports the big chemical corporations that make vinyl and are destroying this planet!!!!!! Damn that woman.

Hey, Krakauer….gettin’ a little desperate for Pailn stories here, aren’t you? Her movie choices now?

Hokey smokes, Bullwinkle……

The people that write the articles here. They need the hits, plain and simple and Palin sneezing in public will bring out 50 or so rabid comments here. It’s all about throwing out the chum for commenters that will be subjected to the site ads.

Revenue boys and girls, it’s all about revenue.

You got that right. LOL.
The libs are Palin crazy.
I like war movies and to a lib that would make me a war monger. You have to remember the liberal gene is a brain defect that makes them come to STRANGE conclusions.
If I defend Palin against there lies about her that makes me a supporter of her for president. I support Mitch Daniels. That does not mean that I would not support her if she wins the nomination.
Palin is far smarter than Obama. She would appoint people around her in the White House that KNOW what they are doing, unlike Obama.

“What I get most frustrated at is when people call it a pro-life movie, which is just absurd,”

I’m sorry, sweety, but there are always going to be people who take “something” home from a decision to let the ‘legume’ live….

If it’s gonna be people like Sharron Angle, C. O’Donnell, Jan Brewer, I’m moving to Italy with Sarah.

Agreed Cecilia, it’s sad that Ellen is afraid she might think she is pro-life. That’s Hollywood for ya.

i’m reminded that drop out governor palin proves that someone in her family know how to pull out when the time is right.

it must be very comforting to palin to be so secure with her knowledge and such a closed mind.

Good taste liking Juno. Excellent movie.

Isn’t it more accurate to say that she is afraid of people believing the movie has a specific agenda?

I don’t give a flying fuck about Sarah Palin. It’ll be a glorious day when people, both conservative and liberal, stop talking about her.

But right now the media is shoving her in my face. It’s like she’s a little pimple that refuses to go away.

And if you try to pop it, it just keeps coming back.

if being kind and sticking up for the underdog is a brain defect, then sure…sounds about right.

You haven’t yet come to the realization it would be better to have even snow white and the seven dwarfs appointed than the current batch of marxists, but you will.

You nailed it. Kudos.

I will say that Mrs. Palin does have some good taste if she enjoys these two wonderful movies.

Isn’t it more accurate to say that she is afraid of people believing the movie has a specific agenda?

Not in my opinion, Paul. We can agree to disagree though.

But I am basing my opinion on her own words Michelle. What are you basing yours on?

paulmdoro said:

No, it’s not. Because anyone who wants a movie to succeed and be memorable wouldn’t give fig if some people had an “agenda” for recommending it.

That she’s “afraid” speaks volumes.

Maybe afraid is the wrong word, an overstatement. Maybe she doesn’t want people to read too much into it, or overlook what she feels is a positive story about a teen female, something rare in Hollywood. Also, we can all only speculate, since none of us is Ellen Page.

It’s significant too that it’s news that Palin would find such movies MOVING.

Does that surprise you REALLY Steve?

Yeah Juno had wide appeal, hence the enormous box office.

Well, that someone might overlook a “positive” message in decision to NOT terminate life is a “message” from you that is fit for our age, I suppose.

Just don’t try to tell me that this concern should be a natural one.

It isn’t that unusual for people to insist that there is no explicit message in a movie like this. They don’t want to alienate large segments of potential viewers. It’s all about the box office. And who knows? Maybe the filmmakers really weren’t trying to take a stand on abortion.

Geese Mr.Krakauer, maybe you could do an in-depth story on how Mrs.Palin’s choice of living room carpet, and bathroom fixtures is really all about making fun of children born with Down-syndrome?

Obviously, if the actress had kept quiet, she would have been less likely to publicize anyone’s agenda and to have alienated anyone.

My “conjecture” is that she didn’t because she was offended by any mention from anyone … that she had been involved in anything “pro-life”, even when it WAS pro-life.

I think plenty of people speculated on the agenda long before Page said anything about it. Your theory is entirely possible though, as is the notion that the filmmakers and cast didn’t want it aligned with a specific position on abortion.

Yeah, they didn’t. And since that ‘position’ on abortion as it relates to the film was a rather esoteric one (to say the least), a public statement refuting such an obscure reference ought to tell you everything you wish to know ( or conjecture…)

I suppose people will read into things and draw their own conclusions. Your theory is plausible.

Knocked Up was awesome and Juno was massively overrated. One’s funny as fuck and the other’s just a buncha fuckin’ one liners that aren’t nearly as clever as the writer hoped they’d sound.

Okay…so, I’m a parent…two daughters…both have graduated….and when Juno and Knocked Up came out, what I thought was “movies that glorify children out of wedlock”. That bugged me because that’s not what I wanted my daughters to take away from that. Thank god the younger one, who’s in college right now, doesn’t want to get to that stage until she’s done with her BA.

Interesting that she saw Juno as having a moral message….the girl chose to have the baby, as I recall. Isn’t that kind of an interesting thought? She made the choice…in a nation where she could make that choice. It says a lot about one’s character if they’re able to do that especially if it’s a choice that you, or in this case Palin, might agree with.

As for her little diatribe on European movies…it’s just silly, cliched and highly generalized. It’s stuff like that that contribute to the worldwide view of Americans and shallow and clueless. One may as well say that all who live in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Idaho, the Dakotas must be cold year round, live in igloos, dodge hockey pucks and polar bears and drink a lot of beer. Just silly.

“As for her little diatribe on European movies…it’s just silly, cliched and highly generalized. It’s stuff like that that contribute to the worldwide view of Americans and shallow and clueless. ”

There goes a slew of comedy sketches about European movies and directors.

Fact: Mediate pays Palin royalties for four or more daily articles. Palin holding out for a new contract.

Doesn’t your next sentence make you guilty of the same “crime?”

Her crack about European movies pretty much sums up why I would NEVER vote for her. Her superficial generalizations that are both ignorant and offensive. It also shows how limited her knowledge of European cinema is, much like her knowledge of everything outside of folksy rhetoric and how to find the nearest mall.

But if they were European films…well… “A European movie might have had Juno get her abortion in the opening scene and then spend the next hour and fifteen minutes smoking cigarettes and pondering the meaning of life,” she writes. “It would have been depressing and boring.”

The woman has no class. Never will have. Nothing like insulting all Europeans with her ignorant comments.

Her publisher is now suing Gawker for copywrite violations; should be interesting to see what happens there. Gawker has yet to respond to the lawsuit.

Per AP:

The publisher of Sarah Palin’s forthcoming book filed a lawsuit against Gawker Media on Friday for leaking pages of “America By Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag” before its release next week.

The legal complaint was filed Friday in federal court in Manhattan, said a spokeswoman for HarperCollins Publishers. The filing came two days after Gawker published images of 21 of the book’s pages and its dedication page. In response, Palin tweeted, “Isn’t that illegal?”

And what qualifies you to deliver said message? Do you have a PHD in European Sociology?

Well, You turned it into a much broader generalization. To the point, saying Palin insulted European film makers makes me ponder this question: are all Europeans also European film makers? In comparison: did Obama mean to deride all Americans with the “clinging to guns and religion” remark? I’m going with a “no” on both those questions.

I realize this is just one of many knee-jerk comments on a tabloid internet site, but Media inspired PDS has eclipsed even blind Obama derision in “informed” society. If Palin were a man, she’d be a modern day Pat Buchanan and would get about the same amount of attention he does.

But, things being as they are, her assent in politics mirrors Obama’s: a faction in a political party rolling the dice on a non-conventional candidate and the modern press going ape-shit over it.

The above link comes from a recent article in the New York Times Magazine and remains the most accurate and fair portrayal of Palin I have seen in media. To qualify that statement, I did my senior thesis on Palin and Hilliary Clinton this past spring so I have shifted through quite a few works with Palin featured as the subject. Regardless, the NYT feature stands on its own for any right, left or center minded person who chooses to read it.

That should have read: Well, You turned it into a much broader generalization. To the point, saying Palin insulted all Europeans makes me ponder this question: are all Europeans also European film makers?

Point being: if some politician in Spain says Hollywood makes shitty movies, the common American citizen isn’t going to be insulted by it.
