Aug 15 2007Uwe Boll Getting More/Less Crazy
Following their negative review of Postal, Wired has posted a series of email exchanges with Uwe Boll that indicate the terrible director of the comedy is either getting crazier or slightly saner. The poorly-written emails include such choice quotes as...
you are a untalented wanna bee filmmaker with no balls and no understanding what POSTAL is.no go to your mum and fuck her ...because she cooks for you now since 30 years ..so she deserves it.
If he cannot see that scenes (for example WELFARE OFFICE, Job Interview) are genius in that movie - then there are 2 possibilities: he is dump and has no idea what movies are or he hates me and is dissappointed about his own shitty career.
Normally this sort of madness would indicate a director is losing his mind, but this is really sort of a step up from Boll's previous attempts at physically fighting film critics in a boxing ring. Sure, maybe he is implying that Wired writer Chris Kohler's mother deserves sex with her son as repayment for a lifetime of meal preparation, but at least there's a logic to the argument. It's not just an idiotic "fuck your mother," it's a well thought out "fuck your mother for these reasons," which I think really shows some maturing going on here. And I really like his expression that someone "is dump."
Thanks to Adam for the tip.

Didn't beat the shit out of SomethingAwful's Lowtax? What a douchebag.

From what I've heard from the online community (so you KNOW it's true) is that POSTAL is actually...dare I say it... good. Well, good for a Uwe movie. But it's supposed to be light years past any of his other movies.

Who's this guy and why should I care?

Is this based on the POSTAL video game? If so, it could kick serious ass. Only if it is starring Bruce Cambell though.

People are just upset because it pokes fun at the Twin Towers (opening scene has a plane crashing into them)

Or maybe people are upset because there's nothing even remotely redeemable about anything Uwe Boll does. You would think that someone whose movies consists mainly of guns, explosions, and tits could make it appealing to the 18-24 demographic, but no, somehow he manages to screw that simple formula up. He rapes videogame franchises and expects people to praise him for it. I don't know what that stunt where he boxed people who sh!t on his movies was supposed to prove other than Lowtax fights like a girl and that a person who actually trains in boxing can beat the snot out of people.
My rant for the day. Just hate this douchebag.

Postal? That video game from the early days of ancient Rome? What could be more timely?
