Default Uwe Boll's Postal banned from ALL theaters!

Wow, the movie that kept getting delayed seems it'll be straight to DVD.

I hate Warner Dolby Digital 5.1 releases. Especially on New Line's catalog, never forget the former 7.1 support from them.
Eagerly awaiting The Dark Knight and Pineapple Express.

Saw this at a screening last August... I so wanted to hate Mr Boll but he was just too nice, he should be a politician cause that man has the gift of the gab and I can see why people throw money at him to make movies... he has a way of convincing people.

They showed Postal side by side with his horror Seed... and I have to say during Seed my stomach turned.... oh did it turn.

But Postal, not really my cup of tea and the first 10 mins will have your jaw on the floor :lol:

4,200 votes at IMDb.com make it a 3.7. I am not sure if any of the 4,200 have seen the film or are just voting based on his reputation, but I think Uwe has either deliberately done something to have theaters unanimously refuse to show this or he is behind it somehow. If the movie completely tanked in theaters, there would be not much of a home video market for it but now this controversy is likely to generate some sales.

You have to give the guy credit, I am sure I could make better movies than he can, but he has gotten a lot of money to make this crap that nobody likes.

I think that is a pretty good rating for an Uwe film, actually.

I think you need to look up the word 'banned'. It doesn't mean what you seem to think it does.

Last I heard, Postal was being shown on 4 screens in the US.
