3:00AM Brian Crecente | OK, so the Golden Raspberry Award winners haven’t really been announced yet and even if Uwe Boll swept the infamous bad film awards, I doubt even he would have an acceptance speech. More »

Uwe Boll Bitches About Movie Industry, Has Action Plan

9:00PM Brian Ashcraft | We often think: Either director Uwe Boll doesn’t get it, or he really, really gets it. Bad flick after bad flick, yet Uwe Boll keeps getting his game-to-film adaptations made. And the man’s got loads of opinions about the movie industry, what’s wrong with it, and how he can make it better. From Boll’s self-penned written rant titled “The Film market — or THERE IS NO MONEY IN MOVIES”: I will stop here before I start writing about totally overpaid agents, managers, agents, and studio executives in L.A. living in airballoons as long they can rip money out of the world outside of L.A. or the major companies. If I would run a studio I would do the same movies for half of the production costs in throwing the cokeheads out and cutting the bullshit of breakfast, lunch, and dinner meetings with idiots who never made a movie in their life. I can shoot a movie like Fantastic Four 2 in half of the time for half of the money shot by shot. Boll breaks down the problems with the film industry and what he can do to help. (And no, it’s not stop making movies. DAMMIT.) More »

Postal Wins Award… Really

1:00AM Brian Crecente | Uwe Boll must be on cloud nine, maybe even ten or eleven. Running with Scissors just announced that his Postal film won not one, but two awards at the Hoboken International Film Festival. Boll took home $AU 530 cash money for the best director award, beating out the directors of films like Crazy, Strange Girls, The Sensei and Flyboys. Oh, snap! Boll beat out D. Lee Inosanto!!! Postal also was named the best of the festival despite showings of The Noogies, In The Eyes of a Killer, Predator’s Return and The Pack. More »

Two Hundred Leave Free Postal Screening

5:00PM Brian Ashcraft | 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. It’s kind of curious of Mayor Roberts to say it’s “too soon to mock a plane going into the World Trade Center”. Does that mean eventually it will be okay to mock that? And if so, who will decide that? Rather subjective, no? Postal Offends Some [NJ.com via Binge Gamer] [Pic] More »

Postal Opens On 13 Screens, Box Office Take A Mystery

11:00AM Michael McWhertor | Oh! Uwe Boll’s movie adaptation of Postal came out this weekend and we totally forgot about it. That might have something to do with the fact that it opened on thirteen screens. That’s obviously small potatoes but far, far better than the four screens it was reported to bow on previously. Variety’s The Cut Scene looked into Postal’s opening weekend—it went up against Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which did $US 126 million—and found out that the movie raked in… well, they have no idea. Yes, that’s weird. Not screening for critics is one thing, but keeping hush hush on your take is something else. Postal’s Box Office mystery [The Cut Scene] More »

Uwe Boll Gets Serious
