the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘Postal’ (Director's Cut)

I think Wal-Mart's selling that in a combo pack with American Carol.

Who keeps approving Uwe Boll to do videogame adaptations (this one is as much an adaptation than LXG was of the "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" comic), and who keeps funding him?

STOP IT.

I work with someone who loved this movie and talked about it incessantly for a while. Yikes. What is Dave Foley doing in it?

I dunno who keeps finding Uwe, I've been asking for his job for years but they rather stick with his garbage directing skills, with that said I rented " Return of the King : A dungeon siege story", I had to know how bad it was.

I dunno how much of this is real or urban legend, but Uwe Boll keeps getting work because of German tax laws regarding film-making: foreign investors apparently make MORE money if the movie's a stinker than a reasonably well-made movie that gets between $40-80 million in the theaters.

My friends and I make a habit of renting bad movies, cost spread out through netflix, and then making fun of them. It makes for a good time, and its somewhat an art of finding the right movie.

In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale was perfect for that, all these semi known actors in medieval setpieces, doing things that were inexplicably hilarious. Uwe Boll and Nic Cage movies (most of them, ie wicker man) are generally great for this.

So we figured, why not with Postal. It managed to break everyone... So bad, you question life itself.
