*eyes the poster* did an idiot reporter truly compare Uwe Boll's piece of fecal matter with the awesomeness of South Park?

I'll give it a try.

And if I'm laughing by the end, I'll consider the "special edition DVD with the past Postal games included", but by "dvd" they'd better mean "blu-ray" and by "past games" they'd better mean "the full, complete games included, not a bare bones stripped down thing".

@Jonn:
It's actually not as derivative as the "______ Movie" franchise.
It's not the best comedy ever, but Foley puts in a pretty solid performance.

If this was a movie made by say . . . Troma it'd be par for the course.

I heard the movie was actually decent, considering it was from Mr. Boll.

But to compete with Indiana Jones?! Are they effin crazy!? Are they trying to purposely make the Postal movie fail!?

blackdice — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 15:40:57 MST

am i the only one who's convinced that this movie will actually be entertaining? i mean, the rest of his films can burn in hell, but i think this is the kind of movie that uwe boll was made to do. tasteless schlock garbage. so bad it's good in a 70's exploitation cinema way.

i'm going to go see Postal knowing indiana jones 4 is going to be a disappointing pile of crap that was TRYING to be a great movie. as opposed to an entertaining movie that knows it's garbage so it pumps up the level of nasty.

You know, I actually got a laugh from House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark. So bad that they were... well, worse. But in an entertaining way.

Bloodrayne, on the other hand, was so bad and so boring that I had to stop after about 30 minutes.

However, I saw the opening scene for Postal on Youtube:

and would you know it, I actually laughed. Well, I didn't laugh, but I chortled just a bit. So, I guess this one might be something after all?

... Fat chance.

Can it really "take on" Indiana when it is such a low caliber movie that it won't be played in over 1000 screens? It's like my dog "taking on" Indiana with my one man show called "Takin A Crap" (A proper analogy I believe.)

Man! Not even one percente of you posters seem to have seen the movie, while making judgement. man the worse of the worse...
There are some nice scenes in the movie, not the whole movie, but what do you expect? The game did not sell good either and it was fantastic. How can you build an opinion without seem them. Like the white **** from IMDB, which vote black movies with 5 stars and Boll movies with 2.

I've seen some of his movies and most even deserve their ratings, but this "stupid" crappy "oh it's U-wee, so start bash him" posts are even worse than his films.

There would never be any game-movies when Boll did'nt do them. Max Pain is the first one not from him?

Snake726 — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 12:43:54 MST

South Park isn't offensive, disgusting or stupid for no reason, it's mocking people like Uwe and delivering a message. That message is usually something like 'Can you believe people this stupid really exist? Oh boy.'

DarkTetsuya — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 12:01:55 MST

That headline implies that Postal is going to do even 1/100th as well as Indiana Jones upon its release, and I think we all know that's not going to happen.

"Postal Released on same day as Indiana Jones IV" would probably be more accurate.

Khabi — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 10:24:42 MST

I'm sorry, they showed a bit of this at PAX last year when they brought Boll on stage in place of JT. What I saw of it, was horrible. I literally walked out on it. Its not like I don't like crude humor (big Kevin Smith fan for example), but he left the humor part out.. it was just crude.

I wouldn't wish this movie on my worst enemy...

Imagining, for argument's sake of course, that Postal turns out to be a decent movie, and in the off chance that someone is able to convince me that I wouldn't shed viscous tears of remorse by submitting an hour and a half of my life to this man's direction, there still isn't a chance in hell that a cent of mine would reach his pocket over Indiana Jones.

Boll could make a pure masterpiece, the likes of Citizen Kane, and I wouldn't spend money to see it. Boll is way past the point where it's not even about how much his movies suck any more. It's about how much of a giant asshole he is.

I heard this was supposed to be Mr. Boll's Opus, and word of mouth from people who've actually seen it seems to back this up.

With that being said, I "might" pick up the special edition... Mostly for the Postal games packed in.

Guizzy — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 09:43:12 MST

Ok, I'm getting tired of saying it, but here we go again.

Postal is a very good comedy. Of course, you've got to like the genre of comedy, but if you liked Borat, you're going to like Postal a lot.

I saw it at a film festival and you can be assured I will be buying the DVD when it becomes available.

Forsakyn — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 09:39:08 MST

No, epic bomb for Uwe Boll was Dungeon Snore - that was by far his most expensive film to date, and the biggest crash when it actually opened. The question is - can Postal really be any worse than a Date Movie or Epic Movie? If it features one laugh it has both of those beat. :)

Am I the only one not surprised by the fact that most of the actors in a Boll film just went ahead and ab-libbed most of the movie?

I mean, it's not like his films are known for stellar dialouge.

The fact that they have a plan for this is the most shocking. How much can you plan with your business model includes a guy who pees out fires and buys a 'crotchity' doll. Crotchity plushes if this movie is even moderately successful?
