Uwe Boll isn't happy with Wired's review of Postal. We attended the US premiere of the game-to-movie director's latest film and didnt find it especially funny. Boll, in turn, doesn't find us especially funny. Here's the email we receieved yesterday evening:
Chris 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 **** her ...because she cooks for you now since 30 years ..so she deserves it. People like you are the reason that independent movies have no chance anymore.
Uwe Boll
PS: POSTAL is R RATED . The MPAA understood the satire -- you not -- you dumb ****
I take bsome of what I said back: Uwe Boll can in fact be hilarious! As to Boll's heartfelt concerns, I couldn't let stand the accusation that I am against independent film. Our response is below.
Uwe,
I'm sorry we didn't get to meet at the Postal premiere. I appreciate being invited. I'm sure we'd have had an interesting conversation certainly your email has caused no end of enjoyment in the Wired offices this morning. Although I did enjoy the first segment of Postal, it is true that I think the comedy timing faltered after that and never quite recovered. I can certainly be more specific if you'd like me to. (We did fix the piece with regards to the rating, and regret the error.) That said, I don't want to leave you or anyone with the impression that I am somehow against independent film in general. I certainly want to see independent, envelope-pushing films distributed. We have the same problems in the video game industry, so I understand where you're coming from. If you'd like to do an interview by phone and tell your side of the story, you're absolutely welcome.
Best regards,
Chris Kohler
