well for a director that desperately wants to make it in hollywood he certainly isn't doing himself any favors with this thrash

How is this guy able to still make movies? Oh right if people say anything bad about him he beats the crap out of them personally. I forgot about that...

I'm really speechless after reading that article.  I've got pretty thick skin when it comes to tastless jokes, but this movie sounds totally worthless.

The Dave Foley stuff is just plain odd.

It looks like Uwe Boll is attempting to "hit back" at the critics who hate his work by producing something so inflammatory that while they have to review it, he's going to shove everything unpalatable down their throats while they do so.  I'm pretty thick skinned about what I see on screen, so I'm not especially bothered by anything mentioned in the article, but the whole idea sounds pretty dumb in the first place.

This movie sounds incredibly stupid.  But I wont have to worry about seeing it, since I swore to never watch another frame of a Uwe Boll movie after I watched Alone in the Dark.

I think I'd rather be dead. Maybe blind, but preferably dead.

But, it'll be one of those movies that doesn't screen for critics probably, so they won't HAVE to review it.

With the amount of controversy surrounding this film, they're gonna have to talk about it.  And to do that with any sort of credibility, they're going to have to see it first.

Personally, I'm sick and tired of "comedians" using absolutely anything they want for a butt of a joke. Enough about that free speech bullshit. Sometimes they should just shut their fucking mouths.

Without free speech you wouldn't be able to make that statement right there. Thought I should mention that.

I would hardly say he's flipped... if you ever played Postal 2, you would realize that the movie is likely to follow the "humor" of the game.

Pak-Man

I can see how Postal's unique brand of disturbing-ness can lead to a movie like this, but for a man like Uwe Boll to decide that he's reached a point in his career where he can lampoon topics near and dear to American mindset is a bad career move to say the least.

As for free speech, yes. Uwe Boll has every right to make and release this film. He also had every right to make and release Bloodrayne. Was it a good IDEA!? No. Can we stop him? No. SHOULD we stop him?

Possibly. :^)
