Anyone get a chance to see this movie? It's not playing anywhere 40 miles of San Jose apparently.

Rathgar · 05-29-2008, 03:52 PM

No.

It was released last weekend, yet no theatres seem to be showing it. Was wondering if anyone had actually seen it.

That thread that was linked is useless btw. It's a bunch of nerdrage over Uwe Boll and doesn't really have anything to do with the movie.

I believe only about 15 theaters are actually showing it in the US, and I'm quite sure that the fact the movie begins with a parody of 9/11 is partly responsible for that. That said, if you absolutely must know what happens during the movie, you can always go to Wikipedia, there is quite a detailed plot write-up if you search for "Postal". In fact, it is so detailed that I'm thinking the only person who cared enough about this movie to write such a long synopsis must be Uwe Boll himself.

Two words that should make you not want to see this film

Well, that explains a lot. Uwe Boll is a fearless director at least.

Postal, as of May 16, was set to be released in only four screens, down significantly from the original 1,500 screens[6]. As of May 20, its screen count has increased to 12 screens.

also, with a budget of 10 million, it's only grossed a total of $142,761 worldwide as of February 10, 2008 (had been in theateres since October)

doubt it will get any more here in US

How much money does he have to blow before people keep funding his projects? or is he independantly wealthy? and if so how much does the guy have he can take hits like that over and over?

There's a very good reason for that.

there was some way for them to recoup all there money through some german tax law or something, which is why uew boll consistantly shit out bad movies.

they just recently ended the law though, so expect much less movies.

I would have agreed with you before I saw the movie last week end. But this one is different. I guess here the main reason why people would hate the movie would be because it could be considered quite offensive by some (like if you get offended by dead baby jokes, or 9/11 jokes).
I did find the movie entertaining, and would give it at least a 6.5 / 10

Necrath Evilcraft · 09-03-2008, 10:24 AM

I would recommend this film to anyone who thinks they can withstand seeing Dave Foley's penis.

But seriously I can honestly say I didn't hate this movie it was stupid but the humor was decent enough. Plus seeing Uwe get shot in the dick will never grow old.

Ronne · 09-03-2008, 11:07 AM

Dead baby jokes? 9/11 jokes? Boll getting shot in the dick? Goddamnit, I might have to see this.

Ronne · 10-24-2008, 08:34 PM

So I finally saw this, and holy shit is it goddamn awesome. I laughed my ass off the entire time. This easily makes up for at least Blood Rayne and Pitch Black.

My grandfather also died in Auschwitz, he fell out of a watchtower!
