Yes, I used that headline before. But that’s only because I was really proud of it. Anyway, here’s the full trailer for HBO’s “Game Change,” which sees Julianne Moore play Sarah Palin in the movie about her and John McCain’s (Ed Harris) run for President in 2008.

Spoiler Alert: They lose.

Wow. Scary good costumes/make-up.

Yes, Dustin, you should be very proud of your headline... so apt!

Posted by: Django at January 31, 2012 3:08 PM

I've said this before, only about 1/5 of the book was about Palin. The book was about the entire election. Are they just going to completely change the premise of the book and focus entirely on her and her stupid 15 minutes of fame? That's a shame. The parts about Clinton and Obama are far more interesting than Palin and her inneptitude.

HAHA! YYYYYYEAH! Now that's comedy!

Really? Is resulting to ableist slurs really necessary? NO. Using "full retard" shows that Dustin Rowles does not have enough of a grasp on the English language to select words that don't insult those with mental disabilities.

Fluffy, I take it you have not see Tropic Thunder. While Dustin is awesome and all, Full Retard is all Ben Stiller's fault. With a dash of Robert Downey, Jr.

Posted by: Laura at January 31, 2012 3:31 PM

Ableist?

Ableist?


It's a movie reference, Fluffy. And a pretty funny one.

Posted by: Dennisv at January 31, 2012 3:32 PM

You're absolutely right, Fluffy. Comparing mentally disabled people to Sarah Palin is a horrific insult to that particular group of people.

Posted by: admin at January 31, 2012 3:35 PM

If Sarah Paulsen is in this, I will fast-forward to her parts and skip the rest.

I was quite happy when Palin was selected as VP back in '08 solely because I vote based on motor-boatability.

I'm just glad they didn't select Fred Thompson. I want no part of his moobs (which he refers to as Law & Order).

Fluffy,
I've never heard the word ableist before. While you're here, could you tell me how to describe someone in my life who has had severely reduced vision from birth? Because I'll be god-damned if I'm gonna use "differently abled". I prefer disabled in a completely factual way. I know she doesn't like handicapped...

aaaahhh, isn't fluffy's outrage cute

Posted by: John G. at January 31, 2012 3:51 PM

O Hell Yes! I am so excited to see this debacle. I don't care if it is ham-handed and as subtle as a sledgehammer. I want me some Sistah Sarah! And Mike D, YES, I hope the whole thing is about Caribou Barbie! I hope they trot out every damned idiotic thing she said and play it in an endless loop. This! This is what I have been saving that world-class, mega-huge joint for. I don't wanna see a movie about Obama and Hilary! I want losers, I want them whining, I want them melting down, I want them saying loser-y things and I want popcorn with which to enjoy every second.

Posted by: klingonfree at January 31, 2012 3:52 PM

Fluffy, why don't you go be a social justice warrior on something useful like the pay gap between men and women? All your complaint does is trivialize the important issues that surround accessibility and equality.

Posted by: ArmaAngelus at January 31, 2012 4:10 PM

Honestly, headline of the year. Again.

Posted by: jon29 at January 31, 2012 4:18 PM

Oh god, I laughed SO HARD when I saw the headline. Evil bastard.

Posted by: Julie at January 31, 2012 4:18 PM

All I could keep thinking was how scarily like Jon McCain Ed Harris looked. Poor Ed.

Posted by: birdgal at January 31, 2012 4:22 PM

Yeah - everything else aside, Ed Harris makes an uncanny John McCain lookalike.

Posted by: space oddity at January 31, 2012 4:35 PM

sarah palin couldn't spell cat even if you were to spot her the "c", the "a", and the "t".

Posted by: Archies_Leach at January 31, 2012 4:49 PM

I don't like that word either, Fluffy. I don't give a flying fuck that it's a movie reference or not.

Who is this movie for exactly? I feel the same way about it as I did the Thatcher film. People on the right will resist seeing it because they may find it insulting, and people on the left may resist seeing it because they have no tolerance for that woman.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at January 31, 2012 5:00 PM

By the looks of it, the drive the message (Liberals Progressives good, Conservatives bad.) home with a steamhammer.

Too lazy.

Posted by: FabMax at January 31, 2012 5:12 PM

Now what's going to get too meta is watching Julianne Moore watching Tina Fey...

my half-sister makes $83/hour on the computer. She has been fired but last month her pay was $7790 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read more on this site… LazyCash10.com

Looks almost as good as "Who's Nailin' Paylin?"

Posted by: purplejebus at January 31, 2012 6:03 PM

Great another reason for cable news to deluge us with Palin. Yay!

Posted by: John W at January 31, 2012 7:02 PM

What's with the waving? McCain can't raise his arms that high!

Posted by: Monica at January 31, 2012 7:23 PM

"Looks almost as good as "Who's Nailin' Paylin?""

But not anywhere as close to, "McCain in Pain".

Posted by: googergieger at January 31, 2012 7:35 PM

Can't believe liberals like Dustin are stroking their cock to this film.

Posted by: Allen at January 31, 2012 8:32 PM

Wow, look at the foul mouth on Mrs. J. This has been happening more often lately. I blame you fucking Pajibans.

Posted by: Uriah Creep at January 31, 2012 9:26 PM

I will see this movie, but I will mentally superimpose Joel and The Bots on every image at the bottom. Only through satire will I be able to survive reliving the low-rent horror of the 2008 GOP Presidential campaign without my brain exploding with enough force to drive slivers of bone through concrete blocks at a distance of fifty feet.

Posted by: The Wanderer at January 31, 2012 10:22 PM

I'll watch the shit out of this movie. The makeup and costumes look amazing.

And leave Fluffy alone.

Posted by: Sofia at January 31, 2012 10:38 PM

Well then, you know just how much I do not like that word and how much I wish it would fade from use.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at January 31, 2012 10:53 PM

Mrs. J....

I made tea. Will tea help?

Posted by: ZombieMedic at January 31, 2012 11:32 PM

So Juliane Moore is playing Sarah Palin. How are they gonna insert the crying scenes?

Posted by: Adrien at February 1, 2012 12:02 AM

"Fluffy, why don't you go be a social justice warrior on something useful like the pay gap between men and women? All your complaint does is trivialize the important issues that surround accessibility and equality."

Important issues like the fact that the pay gap doesn't take into account the fact that women often take time off of work for marriage and family, something that keeps their pay lower due to less time and experience, and those who don't get married and have kids and continue to work unabated often and in many cases earn more than their male counterparts?

Or the fact that almost 75 of all job losses through the 2009 recession were occupied by men?

For once could we get an article detailing the ignorance and stupidity that is Joe Biden? He's ripe for satire and scorn yet you protect him as if he matters.

Oh look! The CBO is predicting another trillion dollar deficit! Hope! Change! Ignore.

I don't know who is directing this movie, (because I haven't watched the trailer yet), but I hope it's either M. Night Shyamalan or Michael Bay.

M. Night because he'll swerve the ending and we'll get to see what's it's like to have Sarah Palin as Vice President.

And Michael Bay because he'll blow her up.

Posted by: @Chrispeare at February 1, 2012 3:07 AM

Okay, I watched it and The Guess Who should be ashamed of themselves. I mean, aren't they Canadian?

Also, Julianne More is awesome.

Posted by: @Chrispeare at February 1, 2012 3:14 AM

I have to side with Mrs. J and Fluffy on this one, although without the jargon. I know it's a quote from Tropic Thunder, but context is all important. The movie was parodying an actor's strained attempt to get acclaim by playing someone disables (fuck you Sean Penn by the way). Here it's just a cheap shot at Palin with a sideswipe at her kid. I think Dustin is better than that.

Posted by: Mrcreosote at February 1, 2012 9:21 AM

@Chrispeare - Since it's an anti-American song, I bet they don't mind. I thought it's inclusion told me all I need to know about the film's perspective.

As an exiled Canadian, I crank that song up to 11 whenever it comes on.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at February 1, 2012 10:20 AM

Oscar nom to the make-up crew. I did not think it was possible to make Ed Harris look unattractive.

Posted by: PaddyDog at February 1, 2012 10:23 AM

Excuse me, can we get a shout out for Jonathan? How far he's come since Sunnydale....

Posted by: PerpetualIntern at February 1, 2012 11:19 AM

That is one sexy trailer.
