Uwe Boll Goes Postal

I don’t know if I can stop laughing long enough to jam this out. Uwe Boll, the pinnacle of misguided movie-making and poor attitudes, got himself into a rather one-sided piss up with Game|Life’s Chris Kohler over Kohler’s review of Boll’s “masterpiece” Postal. It’s so nice to be able to have someone make a complete idiot of themselves with absolutely no prodding or degredation on the side of the second party.

The story goes a little something like this:

• Kohler writes a rather negative review of Postal after being present at the US premiere saying, among other things, that “I’m kind of sad I saw this for work, because maybe it would be awesome if I was blind drunk.”
• Boll gets all wound up about someone slamming his fine work and writes Game|Life with the intelligent reply that “your review shows me only that you dont understand anything about movies and that you are a untalented wanna bee filmmaker with no balls and no understanding what POSTAL is. you dont see courage because you are nothing. and no go to your mum and fuck her …because she cooks for you now since 30 years ..so she deserves it.”
• So ensues a rather long, but endlessly funny email exchange throughout which Kohler maintains every ounce of integrity and Boll just…well…yeah
• Kohler secures a telephone interview with the enraged director to clear up any misunderstandings and to get Boll’s perspective on his movie.

So basically Boll is saying that we shouldn’t say we highly dislike one of his movies because he feels they are perfect. To hell with journalistic integrity, freedom of speech, the appreciation of different styles of humour and..you know…personal opinions.
