The Postal Movie is Really Bad
Chris Kohler and Chris Baker of Wired had the deeply unfortunate task of watching Uwe Boll's latest affront to cinema and gaming: Postal. Kohler has a rundown on the exceedingly strange movie and its premiere. "Boll seems out to shock his audience into stunned disbelief rather than actually entertain them. Early in the movie, we get a long, leisurely shot of a fully nude Foley scratching his reproductive organs. I don't want to sound like I personally was offended or shocked by anything. In fact, the only time I laughed was during the movie's opening sequence, a comedy skit in the cockpit of one of the September 11 airplanes (they're fighting over the number of virgins they get in Paradise). It was legitimately well-paced and funny. But it was followed by 90 minutes of flat jokes." Baker has a much more in-depth look at Boll and the film's background ... if that's something you really want to hear about.
I mean, it's about an Uwe Boll movie. Of course the movie sucks!
Goatse, The Movie. I hear the directors cut will include three hours of extended footage added to the already lengthy 2 hour and 30 minute film. I also hear he borrows extensively from Gus Van Sant.
In fairness, George Lucas scratching his fully-exposed balls would have been an improvement over the Prequels.
Apology to Ubuntu forum.
Who would think a movie about the US Postal Service would be exciting? Puhleeeaze. What's that, TFA? No. I didn't read it. Why do you ask?

When it comes to the body of work that is Uwe Boll, I think that Howard Tayler put it best:
I'm serious. If I find out that you went and saw this film after I told you not to, I'll phone your friends up and tell them to go to your house and pour ants in your bed. And when you wake up screaming, covered in ants, you'll think "at least I'm not still watching BloodRayne."
Be on the lookout this summer for a trilogy of fantastic new Uwe Boll movies including:
Custer's Revenge
ET: The Video Game: The Movie
Street Fighter: The Movie: The Video Game: The Movie

Isn't that more or less what the Prequels were?
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
