So the communists are all up in arms about the new Indiana Jones movie. So much that certain news stations were stating it might re-open the cold war between Russia and U.S. I think Postal will be my counter-example. |

Is he trying to get "Artsy" on us now? And what the hell is Dave Foley doing in this? http://movies.nytimes.com/2008/05/23...tml?ref=movies May 23, 2008 Anarchy With a Short Attention Span By NATHAN LEE Published: May 23, 2008 Infantile, irreverent and boorish to the max, “Postal” explodes with bad attitude and lousy filmmaking. Opening with the sine qua non of tasteless 9/11 gags and closing with a shot of President Bush (Brent Mendenhall) skipping through a field of mushroom clouds hand in hand with “Sammy,” a k a Osama bin Laden (Larry Thomas), this idiot burlesque of American society manages to be both clueless and fearless. Jokes about Oprah’s diet and indecisive Starbucks customers? Tired. A celebrity midget (Verne Troyer) being gang-raped by monkeys to advance the apocalyptic agenda of the orgiastic hippie cult Denomination of Organic Monotheism? Timeless! With the unflappable German troublemaker Uwe Boll as producer, director and co-writer, the film is loosely based on a controversial video game about a trailer park resident (Zach Ward) going “postal” in the small town of Paradise, Ariz. — and is strictly for fans of short-attention-span anarchy and desultory ultraviolence. Were Mr. Boll less technically inept — if nothing else, his movie is a master class in botched editing — he might have been on to something as viciously cathartic as “Team America: World Police.” As it stands (barely, flatulently, clutching a humongous firearm), “Postal” is a gimpy half-step forward for the man popularly known as “the worst filmmaker in the world.” “Postal” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian) for pervasive violence, language, nudity and ineptitude. POSTAL Opens on Friday in Manhattan. Directed by Uwe Boll; written by Mr. Boll and Bryan C. Knight, inspired by the video game; director of photography, Mathias Neumann; edited by Julian Clarke; production designer, Tink; produced by Mr. Boll, Shawn Williamson and Dan Clarke; released by Event Film. At the Quad Cinema, 34 West 13th Street, Greenwich Village. Running time: 1 hour 39 minutes. WITH: Zach Ward (Dude), Dave Foley (Uncle Dave), Jackie Tohn (Faith), Larry Thomas (Osama bin Laden), Erick Avari (Habib), Brent Mendenhall (George W. Bush) and Verne Troyer (himself). |

Stride with give you some gum if you sign it. Because you don't already have a good enough reason to sign the petition, right? http://movieblog.ugo.com/index.php/m..._and_chew_gum/ Hooray for pandering to people for publicity. |

Boll is the best (and only) pro wrestling-style heel the film industry has ever had. I can't wait for his next response |

I'm betting Boll has this one in the bag. The last time he challenged someone to a boxing match (some film critic) it turned out he had boxed in a semi-professional capacity for several years before becoming a film director. The overweight film critic that had never boxed in his life didn't last long. Needless to say this move by Boll successfully eliminated any criticisms which could be made about his films. |

10,000 Volt Ghost | Horschack vs Screech all over again. I'm assuming this fight will to be on Fox. | |

Fathom Zero | This is awesome. Only in the world today could something like this happen. Never before. | |

Zomboid | he is so fucking nuts. I love this man. Micheal Bay is good at making shitty, big budget movies while Boll is amazing at butchering any video game movie. If they do actually fight, IT SHALL BE A CLASH OF THE TITANS INDEED! | |

MetalMilitia | Yeah I want Boll to continue making films in the same way I never want Jack Tomson to be dis-barred. They're just like hilarious parodies of themselves these days. | |
Apr 29th, 2008 06:46 AM | ||
Zomboid | We can agree on that. Uwe is fucking hilarious. While I hope he quits making movies because they're probably in some way damaging to the film industry, I think he's so entertaining that I don't want him to stop. | |

MetalMilitia | Uwe Boll has challenged Micheal Bay to a boxing match because he "sucks big time", according to a news article I read yesterday. | |

Okay, I was just reading his Wikipedia entry. This guy has a doctorate in literature. LITERATURE. How? I bet this guy can't even write a laundry list, let alone a PHD Dissertation. He definitely cannot write a script, that's for sure. |

Fathom Zero | Alone in the Dark was by far one of the best worst films I ever saw. | |

Alone in the dark(movie) is what introducted me to Boll. I think somebody should just cannonize him...right into the sun. I'd stare straight at the sun if need be to track it. I guess either way Uwe Boll if going to ruin my vision. |

I rented Alone in the Dark, not realizing Uwe's scabby, necrotic hand had been involved in the film. When I realized it was a Boll movie, I smited my forehead, but then realized it might stil be worth it as a so-bad-it's-good movie like House of the Dead. It wasn't. Oh God, it wasn't. By the way, for any people who played the computer game as well, here's a list of things that the movie has in common with the game: -The title. -The name of the main character. That's it. That's all. From there, it goes on to be two hours of shitty acting (even though Boll managed to get semi-big name actors to sign on) and meandering, pointless plot. Nothing at all redeeming about the movie, it just flat out sucked. That's a phrase that's sort of lost its meaning over the years, but I say again: this movie SUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED. |

WhiteRat | If that's the case I'm sure that there will be a lot of diaspointed and incredibly confused Bush haters that will likely see that movie based on the poster alone. | |

Fathom Zero | I think I'll go see Postal. And I think my expectations will be lived up to quite nicely. Has anyone ever been disappointed by a Uwe Boll movie? | |
