Palin, gays in screening duel
The New York Post's Page Six ^ | June 24, 2011

Posted on 06/24/2011 5:28:33 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Cultures clashed in a Midtown screening room this week when an upcoming documentary touting Sarah Palin's accomplishments was unveiled for conservative taste-makers directly across the hall from new gay romance "Weekend."

"It was quite a dichotomy," one attendee said of the worlds in collision.

Director Stephen K. Bannon booked his Palin documentary, "The Undefeated," into Magno, a regular haunt for New York's film industry, for a series of back-to-back screenings on Wednesday. Guests included a cross-section of Palin supporters, Bannon said, including members of a group called Jews for Sarah.

"The 'Undefeated' director was guarding the door to the Palin screening like a watchdog," said one "Weekend" audience member who peered into the Palin room. "He was pacing the hallway like a stalking lion."

But Bannon -- whose film was introduced by conservative pundits Tammy Bruce and Jedediah Bila -- said he was OK with the two very different crowds. "It was an interesting dynamic," he said. "You had your indie-scene, cutting-edge avant garde [types] and the non-avant garde. There was the downtown indie crowd for 'Weekend' and Wall Street guys, former political operatives and Jews for Sarah for 'Undefeated.'

If she's so inconsequential, why are so many people, including VIPs, moguls, Jewish leaders and GOP opeatives, lined up to see this film? Doesn't fit the meme being pushed by the media, does it?

"Weekend," distributed by Sundance Selects, follows a gay man who picks up a stud in a techno club and embarks on a two-day affair "in bars and in bedrooms, getting drunk and taking drugs, telling stories and having sex," according to press materials.

Sounds like a real uplifting, family-friendly film. Excuse me while I find a nearby wastebasket -- BARF!

Nor the same meme being pushed by supposed “conservative” pundits and/or elites and the PDSers here.

Did anyone else read the title as “Palin, gays in screaming duel”?

a group called Jews for Sarah.

Nice to hear such a group exists, especially in New York, after the way NY Jews insulted her during the 08 campaign.

On TV they call it "reality TV."

IDK what they call it on the big screen.

Few will see this film; it’ll come and go relatively unnoticed except by hardcore supporters. It won’t make the $120 million Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 911 made domestically.

All a pointless exercise since she can’t win, has no executive experience, she has high imaginary unfavorable numbers and she can’t win. Further, she can’t win and it’s apparent that she can’t win.

I think the most important FACT however is that she can’t win.

They're on the losing side of conservatism... of logic... and of history.

Sucks to be them. ;)

Is there a follow up movie to ‘Weekend’ about getting AIDS and dying?!

I wonder how long they’ll keep at it before the Viking Kitties come out to play. It has to be wearing on the little fuzzballs.

“And as Palinarok dawned, twas on the Freeper Bridge the Viking Kitties faced down the forces of PDS...”

And there was much rejoicing ;)

When a huge, never before done, conservative current event like this movie being made and shown gets that Michael Moore reaction from you, and especially on a thread about it dueling with a homosexual movie, then you should just give up the pretending and go on over to DU.
