Postal: The Movie

Get ready for Uwe Boll's latest travesty, (though personally, after Boll's sound, legit thrashing of the AICN dork patrol, and my personal admiration for the Postal video games, "travesty" is such a harsh word for his stuff these days), "Postal"

Opening sequence (9/11 Victims look away now, I mean it)



Trailer

I read about this, he's doing Far Cry as well. I don't know how anyone can like his movies. he seriously makes some of the worst films ever.

I don't like his movies at all, but I love the Postal games, and nothing in this film can screw 'em up, it's probably going to be the most faithful thing he's ever done.

Most video game movies are s*ite anyway, Boll, Anderson, whoever did Street Fighter...let's face it, Mortal Kombat was essentially the definitive movie for that genre

I like Silent Hill enough to buy it. But that was more of an art style thing.

I read Gary Coleman is actually going to do the movie. I mean that's just sad.

Edit: Alright I watched it...the first one was sci-fi channel quality. The trailer...I don't even know where to start. Looks like a un-funny version of Shaun Of The Dead. But it's made by a film maker who says YOU suck if you don't like his movies.

He's reprising the role he performed in the games, that's more of a nod than sad.

Yeah but weren't they making fun of him in the games? Well he has nothing else to do so I guess getting some screen action would work out for him.

Learn to use a comma.

This might be the only UB movie that makes any sense, unfortunately.

The best part of the trailer is Uwe Boll's accent. I can't believe someone actually talks like that.

I'm not going to lie, the whole dialouge with the "99 virgins, wait I thought it was 100...it could be 75" was funny. I mean if that conversation was placed in a different scenario, under a different context, I'm sure no one would really mind it all that much. Given the fact that it takes place on 9/11, I admit will cause controversy. But the dialouge, I believe is clever yet I'm not so sure on the level at which it is presented. I mean if you take away the 9/11 aspect of it, it would just be another parody of those plane hijacking films. Just my two cents and it's just one scene. Who knows what the whole movie is like.

Why do they constantly make movies absed on video games? they always take so much creative license and screw it up. I did kinda like Super Mario as a kid, but Double Dragon was a joke. Or was it intentionally a joke? I dunno.
