Citizen Kane. Vertigo. 8 1/2. Postal? According to "filmmaker" and chowderhead Uwe Boll, who says his film got a standing ovation at the prestigeous Cannes Film Festival and "no other film has ever been applauded there since it's all business people who attend the screenings." No other film has ever been given a standing ovation at Cannes? Bwah?
What's more, Boll says:
Postal is my final statement. You can't make a more radical movie... There is no way you can ignore Postal — it's one of the funniest and most important films of the last decade! ...It's one of the best films of all time!
If by "final statement" he means "final film," all is good!

I'm really almost insulted.
Careful Ashcraft, he might just send you a 1way ticket to Vancouver to kick your ass in a ring...
What a cocky son of a bitch.

Sweet mother of god...
I guess I can start doing unspeakable crimes including punching babies because when I get the death sentence, I have nothing to worry about.
..because Hell would be frozen over by now and I love snow cones.
That's some fantasy world he lives in.
"You can't make a more radical movie... -Uwe Boll"
Uhhh... What!?
"The Endless Summer" says aloha... punk!
This just in: My penis is the greatest penis ever.
Not only shold Uwe Boll be jailed because he is a terrible film maker, but because he is continually gloryfying murder simulators by turning them into films.
I wish someone would whip his ass.
Jumpin Jesus in a sidecar...
That man is unreal. HOW does he get funding? HOW is he even allowed to show his films at any festival?
Wow.
Just wow.
Of course he got a standing ovation. You have to stand to leave the theater in disgust.
Either Boll confused people jumping up and screaming on the verge of rioting with a standing ovation, or, knowing Cannes, he got applauded for some anti-American crack, like the stupid 9/11 joke that was mentioned on this site.
He got a standing ovation at Cannes? Did he? What if he is starting to make good movies... It's imposable, but what if?
Make sure you don't fall into his trap! This is a lie, he's just saying it so somebody will see his movie! You have to resist!
DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE, REPEAT DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE
Boll can say whatever he wants. It doesn't make it true. He's lied before, and there's nothing to say that he isn't lying again right now.
I can't wait. I'm not too proud to go and see a film that is not a Citizen Kane or Gone With The Wind. I'm sure every single poster here refuses to watch anything less than cinematic perfection. *cough*bullshit*cough*
What is your concern? That the movie might not live up to the artistic integrity of the Postal name? That it might not be the best film ever made? That you might be offended because obviously you have to watch this film with your eyes wired open Clockwork Orange style?
So it's ok to slam, insult and demand the destruction of this film while in the same breath you can't see why people want Manhunt 2 banned?
You : Films
Thompson : Games
The truth stings a little, doesn't it?
@Indy_aka_Rex: ROFL!
Uwe Boll's Final Solution.
if he were to make postal his final film. I'd watch it just to make him PLEASE shut up
Uwe Boll is bigger than Jesus.
I don't know about the ovation part, but I think he may've been confused when everyone was on their feet before it faded to the credits. It's Uwe. You've gotta think about it. He doesn't see the world the same way the rest of us do.

Radical: Thoroughgoing or extreme, esp. as regards change from accepted or traditional forms.
Are you really that ignorant?
@elevenoverzero: Uwe? Is that you?
@elevenoverzero:
Anyone else think this asshole works for Uwe Boll? Geta fucking life, you shitdick, the guy is ruining a medium which we all love here. It's the same thing when they take comic books and make them in to bad movies. They're ruining what we love!
So yea, I do think we have the right to shit on this guy's parade. It's called criticism and is always all right to give for the "best films".
Just out of curiosity, is there a bounty yet on Uwe Boll's head?

I work as a professional game designer, actually. Where does that leave us?
@elevenoverzero:
WHAT?
your a nutcase.
uwe boll makes terrible films.
no one thinks they should be banned.. we just think they are terrible.
manhunt being banned is an ENTIRELY different issue.
dont compare anyone to jack thompson unless you want to get the beats.
This guy seriously has to be joking.
How the f does this guy obtain funding? His movies don't even make money!
@elevenoverzero: Whom is ignorant sir? You, who take Uwe Boll seriously or I, injecting satire in an obviously humorous statement... I mean REALLY!? Oh.. wait your actually serious!!! *ROTFL*
Who is this man? And why should I care(or not care) about him?
@elevenoverzero: I work as a professional game designer, actually. Where does that leave us?
Not buying the games you worked on, hopefully. :P
@elevenoverzero: In all seriousness, I hope you make good game and not mindless dribble that take up space in the 60-80% off bin and the local game shop. Really I do. And for Pete sake DO NOT associate yourself with a person of Uwe Boll's ilk. His peers don't have the faintest clue who he is. He's like Ed Wood but bad and that says VOLUMES.
Be quirky, be different... just don't aspire to be bad.
No more comments folks... back off on Zero.
man, what an egotistical chud this guy is.
He's must be completely dillusional about his movies.
Oh, leave 11/0 alone, he's just calling out a hypocrisy based on the assumption we're upset at the content of the movie and not the movie's creator for taking a license and attaching it to something he's written.
no one else got a standing ovation? huh? Even freaking Clerks2 got an 8 minute standing ovation.
But its no news Boll is in his own little world.
Im seeing this! Uwe Boll you have my 10 dollars!
@Kotaku:
Maybe he's so prominent because you pay attention to him.
Every time the man farts and it sounds like the word "postal" you guys are there to make a post about it.
I mean, really I'm surprised you guys can type at all anymore.
What with his dick in your mouth and all.
Might wanna try and change that...you know, get some real news...just a thought...
HOW DOES THIS GUY GET FILMS PRODUCED?! HOW?!
Someone has to find out and tell me because I can make better films with the same budget he gets even if I take a fork and stab one of my own eyes out and have to direct the entire shooting without getting medical attention.
Between Paul W.S. Anderson and Uwe Boll I'm on the verge of committing hari-kari. I think I'm actually dead, this is hell and I'm getting punished by studios making complete pieces of crap from video game licensed properties.
You can't make a more sucky movie
There, Boll, fixed that for ya. No need to thank me.
I'm not surprised. He said his House of the Dead was equal to Gone With the Wind. The man obviously has the drive, desire and talent of Ed Wood.
I got all excited when I saw the 'final statement' comment. Then I realized he's also a lying bastard in addition to a sucky movie director and has no intention of stopping his crimes.
I don't care if he invents a cure for stupidity, he'll never make up for what he did so far, especially Alone in the Dark.
Everyone knows this movie will suck eggs. The real question is how big of a taantrum is he going thre throw this time when it gets pitiful reviews?
my kindom for someone to please please stop him already.
i urge Kotaku to cease any more posting on this fool from this moment onwards.
Does anyone else find that picture disturbing..?
He's already made 3 films since Postal and is working on a 4th. How, why, I don't know, but clearly somebody out there has no problem throwing away money on his projects.
Wouldn't it really suck if this all somehow turned out to be true?
I will withhold judgement until further reviews come out on Rotten Tomatoes.
People can change, you know.
@lil_kitty: YES, I WILL BE HAVING NIGHTMARES TONIGHT.
@ABigSmall:
I agree- For all we know, Boll just fucked up his first 3 movies because he was smoking crack all along.
Seriously, it's possible (even if remotely) that this movie could actually be good, even if Boll is a huge liar. I have to seriously admire him, though. Think about it- most of you guys would've given up waaay before now. He has persistance. He is murdering his movies, but you don't have to actually watch them. It's your choice, and he's doing what he loves.
@elevenoverzero: What a terrible analogy. We're saying his movies are fucking terrible, not that they're single handedly causing the downfall of American society.
. . .
Oh, wait. Yes. Yes we are.
"no other film has ever been applauded there since it's all business people who attend the screenings."
That's a fairly broadsided statement, and to say that no other film in the history of Cannes is an outright lie.
We hate the ESRB/Nintendo/Sony/Microsft/Jack for the manhunt 2 AO issue because it's an adult game that they're preventing adults from playing. Even if manhunt 2 sucks and does nothing but glorify violence we're fighting for the right to play future AO games. They should be age restricted and not out right banned.
Uwe Boll's movies however aren't extremely violent or controversial. They're just ****ing terrible. We're also not trying to ban his movies (Though they should be banned). We're just bashing him for making them and saying bullshit like: "ZOMG THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER!". I mean the man responds to his critics by beating them up. He is a huge jackass.
He's my second most hated person related to gaming just behind Jack T. I mean at least Uwe doesn't tie me down and force me to watch his movies. Jack is trying to kill the mature games market.
Liar liar pants on fire!
"Sicko" got one too...
