» Postal Director Launches New York Post Parody Web Site

Thiz Biz.GameDaily story reports that Postal director Uwe Boll has launched a parody web site of the taboid newspaper The New York Post on the movie's official web site. Boll took issue with the Post's negative story of the upcoming movie (based on the Running With Scissors action game series), which includes a sequence where a plane crashes into a building. The Post showed that sequence to survivors of the 9/11 attacks on New York and feels the movie should not be shown in theaters. Uwe said that the Post has passed judgement on the movie without seeing it and that the sequence is taken out of context, adding, "The scene is a parody of fundamentalist fanatics. We don't make fun of the victims of 9/11." The movie will be released in about 500 to 600 theaters this October. The Post has theatened legal action against Boll if he doesn't take his parody site down.

I can't believe I'm in agreement with Uwe Boll about something, but the NY Post saying the movie should be banned because it shows planes flying into skyscrapers is bull.

i love the quotes:

"If somebody asks in 100 years what was the best movie ever, the answer will be Postal." - Washington Post

"Postal is a must-see for all families in the USA." - MPAA

"Boll is the best director alive. We are all in his shadow." - Steven Spielberg

Hehe, I'm actually really looking forward to this movie... If only for shock value. It will be really offensive. That opening scene trailer sold me on it more or less.
