For years, Uwe Boll has enlightened the world with his riveting and heartfelt translations of our favorite video games into cinema classics. In Htrae
So, finally, Uwe has gotten tired of making bad movies based on good games, and simply decided to make the his own game for his bad movie. He just filmed a Vietnam flick by the name of Tunnel Rats. He's gonna release it next year, along with his game of the same name.
On one hand, I'm fucking scared.
Discuss.

In the real world, he's been pumping out cheap tax write offs and taking our fun games and making crap movies.So, finally, Uwe has gotten tired of making bad movies based on good games, and simply decided to make the his own game for his bad movie.

On the other, that sounds awesome. I like ears. And the more ears in my pocket, the happier I am.:winky:Moehring said this game will separate itself from other shooters with its graphic nature. Players will crawl through pitch-black tunnels, stab Vietcong while they are asleep, clean out caves with a flamethrower, and cut off and collect ears--all while being slowly driven insane. He said the player will also occasionally encounter situations that bridge the game and the film beyond mere atmosphere and setting.
Discuss.
Also, now would be a good time to pray to your god for salvation, for this must be a sign of the coming of the four horsemen. MI right?

Wow. You'd think he'd be sick of the gaming world by now.

Sadly, IMDB says it's still due out October 12 2007. Entirely related, have you ever looked at the IMDB Keywords section of a movie. Postal has such classics as "Based On Video Game", "Obscene Finger Gesture", and ..."Uncle Nephew Relationship"O_oD:D:D:D:D::!::!::!:

Blame it on Germany. The bit about taxes in the OP is true. I forget how it works, but his movie studio is a massive tax write off for him or something like that. His movies are essentially funded by the German government in some weird, hateful, malevolent deal with the devil. His stuff doesn't really make any money on its own.
On a seperate note did anybody ever listen to that fight he had with the SA guy? Boll's a fucking maniac.
God help us.
Actually I'm pretty sure that the people who bankrolled his films were businessmen who did it so they could claim the loss as a tax write-off.
Anyway, I thought that loophole had been closed a few months ago? Who the fuck is still giving money to this trainwreck?
Do you also not care about the AIDS epidemic in Africa, the tragic events in Mogadishu, Kurdish people getting slaughtered, planes slamming into towers full of people, and Tiananman Square? You know that Boll was directly responsible for all of that, right?
Directly.
If either half of this game/film/unholy abomination ever actually come to be, I think he may well have earned that title.
Its like bizzaro day.
His shitty movies are just made because they are tax write offs for the mob.
Linky
And he seriously plans on using it. For films. All I can say about that is DAMNIT MAN, take the money and run. There's no need to keep doing this to us.

Buck up; a couple of shit-fest films (and one game it seems) and he'll be so broke he'll have to suck dicks behind the Olive Garden to buy Ramen. 80 million doesn't make a lot of movies. Unless you hire, like, strippers or something...ha, ha-ha...fuck. We're doomed.

Who would win?
Reggie would kick his ass, but since his name is utterly worthless Reggie wouldn't take it.

Uwe, probably. He's a trained boxer.
...
Its reggie.
He'll hire a third world country to attack Uwe. An entire third world country.

I mean, come on, that's how the movie begins. The whole thing is just offensive for the sake of being offensive.
Yes, but I'm not the only one to realise it. I've seen others say the same.
Postal was actually kinda funny in spots, and there were a few completely priceless, offensive-for-offensive's-sake moments. It's easily his best movie to date (which isn't saying much, I realize). He cameos as himself in the movie, admits that his movies are financed with Nazi gold, then gets killed as he's shot in the crotch and falls down saying "I hate videogames" (all that right after wrestling with the actual creator of the Postal game).
Dungeon Siege was the most hilariously generic LOTR rip-off I've ever seen. It's completely nonsensical, the fight scenes are pointlessly over-the-top (catapulting orcs on fire on your enemies? Really?), the plot makes very little sense, and Burt Fucking Reynolds plays the king (and provides a lot of unintentional laughs).
Oh, and Uwe was there himself for a Q&A at both showings. One particular gem was when he said in the same breath that Dungeon Siege had a budget of 60 million and that he was cutting in the marketing and distribution budget to "make a profit off the 1st ticket sold".
My friend and I had a discussion afterwards about how the first guy who buys a ticket for Dungeon Siege will have a nasty surprise when he's asked to pay 60 million dollars and one cent for it.
I mean. Yeah, it's actually literally true. There is a tax loophole that makes failing more profitable than succeeding when making a film in Germany.
Um... wow. So he's expecting a profit of $42, then?
Oh, the offensive is funny... sometimes. Not so much the toilet humor (which there's a ton of), but the random, sudden, brutal and unjustified death? Funny. Maybe I'm just a sicko though.
Offensive things can be funny, I just prefer some effort be made in order to make the offensiveness funny, rather than assuming offensiveness is inherently funny. Kind of in the way I love South Park but I absolutely loathe Family Guy.
Ah well. That's just one guy's tastes, not to mention I haven't even seen the movie, so what do I know?
Right, and I'm not saying Postal is a good movie, far from it, and a lot of its offensiveness is really bad and not funny (fat sex, shit jokes, etc.)
But when someone who didn't deserve to die does... there's an evil little part of me that can't help but laugh.
