Surreal moment in the movie


I thought where Julianne Moore is watching Tina Fey on television was very surreal.

I'll just stand over here being happy

She must have been so heartbroken and embarrassed, yikes!

For me it was when they brought out the map and pointed out where Germany and Italy is and started briefing her on world war 2.

Another was Steve shaking his head when she mentioned the queen in response to Britain being an ally.

I am so glad Obama is guiding us these past 4 and next 4.
GOP and McCain are loony tunes. McCain lost all his credibility when he okd palin

Well, watching the interview played out in a TV movie was interesting, since it wasnt a comic send-off or a basic replay on the news.

It actually happened... believe it.

One surreal moment in the movie was when after she’d gone rogue and she thought she was going to make the concession speech after McCain lost, and even after Schmidt told her she was not going to, she kept trying to compose the speech. Until the time, when Schmidt told her in no uncertain terms you are NOT going to make the concession speech, the Vice Presidential candidate has NEVER made a concession speech. This is a time-honored, sacred tradition, etc. and on and on.

Her attitude that night brought back the very unpleasant experience of an ex-co-worker who decided her ideas were second only to God and damn be the person who went against her decisions, even when the boss herself negated a decision this co-worker had made regarding staffing. Schmidt’s telling off Sarah Palin made me wish our boss back then could have told off this dingbat, but then she was the sister of the CEO and she had been hired because of nepotism. And later after she left, someone else remarked, you did not want to make this former co-worker mad.

what would have been cool is if they had an actress portray Tina Fey

reply

I thought the scenes of Palin having various melt downs was surreal. I knew Sarah doesn't know much and likes to lie but I didn't know she was such a whiny baby about it.

She really is a good actor.


No two persons ever watch the same movie.

Tina Fey has said several times that none of the dialog in the SNL Sara Palin skits is invented. All she did was restate things that Sara Palin actually said.

reply

I'd ask for a source, but it would never come, because there's no way Tina Fey said that, because it isn't true. I think her impressions of Palin were spot on and hilarious, but you have a bad memory if you think Sarah actually asked to use a lifeline to phone a friend during an interview.

Fey would take things Palin said and exaggerate them, adding absurdity to an already ridiculous answer. Palin didn't say she could see Russia from her house, but she did mention that Russia was close enough to see from Alaska in response to a question about foreign policy. Tina took an absurd answer and made it hilarious. She did not quote Palin verbatim.


\o/ STEVE HOLT!

^Tina Fey did in fact say that.

reply

Again, what's the point in your claiming something so outrageous without a source?

reply

Because I wanted you to know multiple people (like harryrstevens and myself) had read the same thing about Tina Fey saying that.
