We're handing out Last Place trophies now?

I've always felt that those unfunny spoof movies were just pumped out by two morons who got high and laughed at thier own jokes, and usually thier mocking of pop-culture comes far too late after the event even happens. I mean did anyone even care about the Brittany Spears head shaving incident by the time the BM that is "Meet The Spartans" was released into the theatre?

@ Cole: hahaha! I guess a last place trophy is better than no trophy at all when you're Uwe Boll

"Uwe Boll on the other hand, appears to have come to terms with the fact that he, himself, is a failure."

Is Uwe Boll really a failiure? i mean, he makes about 1 movie a year, continues to get pretty good actors for his films....sure alot of his films are bad. But he has accomplished a thousand times more than most "film makers" acomplish in their entire lives.

I'm not defending the guy. I too, think his films are utter shit. But imo i certainly wouldnt call Uwe Boll a failiure.

I guarantee there are millions of film makers out there who would kill to be where Uwe Boll is, and chances are they will never get to where Uwe Boll has.

Like i said, i think his films are shit, but obviously someones watching them. For the sudios to keep getting him to make films he must be doing somthing right.

So i wouldnt call Uwe Boll a failiure.

Or, you a valid reason would be that any movie is better than Meet the Spartans

I can give you five reasons why anal rape is better than oral rape, but that doesn't mean I SHOULD!

See where I'm going here?

Robert Fure · 1 year ago

Josh I would argue oral rape is better than anal rape, so I really have no idea what you're trying to say.

Matador · 1 year ago

Which one do you like better? The giant douche or the turd sandwich? The correct answer is
neither.

Josh Radde · 1 year ago

Oh, I disagree Robert. You would have to watch oral rape, that seems more terrifying than the alternative. Though anal rape is surely horrifying on its own right. Also, let's define "better" when it comes to rape. Less painful? More dignity? I dunno, there's just so many factors to incorporate.

All rape debate aside, I have to agree that it is almost insulting that Friedberg and Seltzer are making money off their half-assed sense of humor. What compounds the pain is the fact that there will ALWAYS be something for them to fail at spoofing. Remember when films like Airplane! were actually, gasp, good at satire?

I honestly think the staff at FSR could make a better film, even if the rules of the script were that we had to only stick to current pop culture for a plot. Somebody should contact these two and issue a challenge to them that if we can write a better script then they have to fund a production of the first FSR film. Hell, I'll spot them Paris Hilton, Carmen Electra, any stunted attempt at a joke Britney Spears can bring, and raise them whatever moronic ebony and ivory joke they have for the Obama vs. McCain presidency. Let me guess, they have a kid and it's Michael Jackson? Oh wait, Michael has been in Scary Movie...45? Too late.

At the very least, Friedberg and Seltzer are marketing geniuses. Opening 'Disaster Movie' on the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is brilliant...

Another reason why Postal is better than any of those bad "Movies" movies.

Is Postal really a spoof? It's a movie of a over the top game. The purpose of the story of the game was trying to come up with something at least half decent and funny to push a character into doing what a video gamer wanted to do. Go around, kill people do stupid things and fuck around. The only real spoofs in the Postal story, is spoofing on the war on terror. That's really it. As far as I'm concerned, that is something worth spoofing.

My biggest problem with those terrible "Movies". Is that they spoof things that are good. Why in gods name would it be funny to spoof The Dark Knight? Or Iron Man? Or Hancock? Why spoof something that isn't bad in it's own right? Why was Scary Movie 1 actually good? Because Horror Movies are BAD! They try so hard to be serious and fail miserably. Most anyways. Thus when they first spoofed it, it was actually at least something to laugh at. They were showing us on film exactly how bad we thought some of the pathetic excuses for movies some of those horror flicks actually where. But I mean, TDK, Iron Man, Hulk, 300, and even more actual credible movie characters thrown into a plot filled with pop culture refrences? WTF is that?

Guh. Postal wasn't the greatest movie, and it was pretty bad. I won't lie. But, the comedy genre alone, really hasn't made a GOOD movie in a long long time. 40 Year Old Virgin was okay, but I mean after I've seen it once, the jokes get old. Same with Postal. After you watch it and get used to the over the top nature and have some laughs drinking some beers, you'll move on. But at least it can do that, and at least it doesn't waste your time in theatres.

You know, postal wasn't half bad. When I watch movies, I try to forget what past work the director has done and see the movie as it's own. I've seen Uwe Boll's films, and I know that a lot of them are absolute shit, and being a gamer, I'm a little ticked off that he's ruined some good stories, stories that could potentially make -good- movies. I'm really not looking forward to the far cry movie, which from what I've seen so far, is bastardized.

However. Postal. Wasn't. Half. Bad. It really wasn't, I think you guys are carrying the stigma from his other films, and -looking- for things to judge about the film. There were some dumb jokes, like the monkey raping thing, but hell it's 200 times better than meet the spartans.

The lead actor, by himself, is hilarious... and that alone is enough to give the movie some consideration.

You need to treat Postal like it is, a lighthearted comedy. I actually started watching this movie because to be honest, I wanted something to bitch about, but I came out of it amused. This is coming from a guy who's favorite movies are memento, the machinist, the bourne identity, and no country for old men.

So I say to you this. Would you like a cup of coffee and another stick up your ass, Mr Sophisticated?

"In the name of the king" was a good movie!
