Two Hundred Leave Free "Postal" Screening -The Uwe Boll movie
http://kotaku.com/5012513/two-hundred-leave-free-postal-screening

Approximately 200 theatergoers walked out of a free Postal screening in New Jersey last Friday. While Hoboken Mayor David Roberts refused to attend the screening, stated that he did not like the film's 9/11-style attack gag and added that it was "too soon to mock a plane going into the World Trade Center." According to Boll:

Being politically correct, let's say, the big studios are kind of overdoing it... I feel it is time now to make a really wild movie, something over the top... We don't spare any group. We don't want to hurt anybody but we want to break the rules... We want to make people think: What is a taboo? We want to make people start thinking about their own boundaries and rules.

3. A "director" who normally does video game conversion movies
and is known to SUCK. But he motors on, spitting out garbage after garbage. He once challenged and fought his worst Internet critics in a boxing match.

His new movie, Postal, looks terrible, but he insists it will kick the shit out of I Jones 4

5. Haha, I've read that the movie "exhibits all the intelligence of a drunken pig."
Not all that surprising.

9. I would suggest that someone throw acid in his face to blind him
But he'd figure out how to use only four senses to make a turd out of a decent game ("Postal" excepted - "Postal" is to games what botulism is to tuna).

15. I thought it was because the film was directed by Uwe Boll.
Didn't he direct "House of the Dead" or something like that? Laughably bad movie that wasn't even remotely scary.
