In every single category, regardless if it has anything to do with him?

I guess we could .... 

Hey, even if Boll was not listed on the ballot, we could always write him in!!

-BooBerry

I'm for everything (and anything!) that will better Boll's chances of NOT getting away Razzie-free this year.

By the way, HeadRazz, since Boll appears in POSTAL, as himself. Are you gonna list him as a Worst Supporting Actor contender on the ballot this year as well?

Kinda like how Stallone and Eszterhas were nominated for playing themselves in AN ALAN SMITHEE FILM: BURN HOLLYWOOD BURN.

-BooBerry 

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Not to worry, Boll is listed all over this year's RAZZIE® Nominating Ballot -- and, yes, Worst Supporting Actor for POSTAL(as himself) is among the possible nods for Herr Boll...

Excellent points all around, but please enlighten me as to where old Boll gets his funding? I mean, who in their right mind would fund something they know will lose money? Does Boll come from a rich family? What, what?!?

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Best I can come up with is that Boll has created some kind of tax shelter (or money "washing"??) set-up in his native Germany. Other than that, no theory even begins to explain Boll continuing to get funding for $65 million productions, not one of which has ever made even $10 million back worldwide... 

From the look of things, I really don't know why Uwe Boll made this film.  It's a lot worse than Peter Griffin's idea for "September 11, 2000-Fun" (Family Guy), which was funny because he was getting back at James Woods for stealing his identity.  This film, on the other hand, is a complete train wreck (and has almost nothing to do with the 1997 video game "Postal," since he combined it with 9/11). 

If you brought back Worst Excuse for an Actual Movie (2003), this might win hands down! 

Hold on lads, Isn't this exactly what these idiots want?? They are looking for publicity by making turd after turd. It's their sick way of generating money and box office numbers.

What do you think Mister Berry?

Wow, he is all about shock vaule now, isn't he? I swear, this year is just a photo finish race between Boll and Seltzerberg. Between "In The Name Of The King", "Meet The Spartans", "Postal", and "Disaster Movie", they are begging, BEGGING us to hand them all the "Awards".

Originally posted by SchumacherH8ter I've discovered some of Uwe's upcomming films. First is "Far Cry", which is opening in Germany and Canada, but not here. Then, "Tunnel Rats", which is 100% improv, with no script and doesn't appear to have a release date. The next two are "Sabotage 1943" and "Zombie Massacre", which don't have Wikipedia links. And there's, "Stoic" which starrs Edward Furlong and here's the description on Wikipedia: "According to Boll, Stoic centers on the true event where three German inmates gambled on a poker game. The loser is forced to eat, regurgitate, and eat his own vomit. The tale escalates into much more when the inmates rape the man for 10 hours before forcing him to commit suicide." What the f*ck? Also, it's improv.

I heard that scene where the kids got gunned down was the only "good" part of Postal. So, yeah, I could see why you would loathe Postal. However, the fact that Postal actually has a scene that can be described as "good" from viewers and Disaster Movie is just painful even reading only a detailed plot summary is reason why Disastrous Movie should get loaded with Razzies this year. Maybe a Worst Ripoff award for Uwe Boll trying to make a "satire" like Borat?

Speaking about Freddy Got Fingered, I can't believe I'm going to type this, but, I actually cracked a smile when I saw a clip of the sausage scene.

Originally posted by HeadRAZZBerry RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Have you seen POSTAL??  Beyond being indefensably dense like DISASTER MOVIE, POSTAL also manages to be incoherent, tasteless, pointless, witless and frequently flat-out disgusting (EXAMPLE: There is a scene where young children being graphically gunned down by a Nazi sniper is supposed to be funny). If DISASTER is just doofy while POSTAL is an assault on humanity (which I would argue POSTAL is) then I'd have to favor POSTAL over DISASTER as this year's Most Deserving Worst Picture contender. To give you some perspective: I haven't loathed a possible Worst Picture choice this much since FREDDY GOT FINGERED.  Mayhaps both POSTAL and DISASTER MOVIE should end up being nominated as Worst Picture, and our Voting Members can then determine which of them is more deserving of a "win."

I was actually hoping "Postal" might be Boll's first "not terrible" film  (from reading early reviews on how it was supposedly pretty funny).  But instead, it's just another crap output from Toilet Boll.

 It could be worse -- Boll asked Blizzard Software to let him make a film based on World of Warcraft.  They told him to get lost.  Good for Blizzard Software! 

Blizzard CEO Paul Sams said to Uwe: "We will not sell the movie rights, not to you...especially not to you." 

Here's a link to the article. 

Originally posted by cvcjr13 I'm all for that (see below) especially if Freestyle Releasing is able to follow through on its commitment and place Seed in the theatres this year.  I wouldn't want to see three Boll films vying for Worst Picture--it'd split the vote!

This just in:

Theatrical distributors are boycotting Postal because of its political content. We were prepared to open on 1500 screens all across America on May 23rd. Any multiplex in the U.S. should have space for us, but they're afraid... We have even tried to buy a few screens in New York and Los Angeles, and they won't let us even rent the theaters! I urge independent exhibitors to contact us and book 'Postal'! Audiences have been expecting the film and I don't think exhibitors should censor what gets played in U.S. theaters.

why its banned

September 11, 2001. Terrorists are about to fly a plane into the World Trade Center when they realize that there can't possibly be enough virgins left in the afterlife, given the recent rash of suicide bombings. After a quick phone call to their leader confirms that they may only get twenty, they decide to call off the attack and fly to The Bahamas. Just then, the cockpit door is kicked open and the passengers struggle to take control of the plane. Veering out of control, it smashes into the Twin Towers - the fiery explosion revealing the film's title card."

 

Come on people, why are we debating over if Uwe Boll should get a Razzie Award over the Sly Guy? Sly has already "won" 10 times; you can't dishonor the man any more! Boll is just begging, begging us to give him a razzie. He's releasing FOUR or more crappy movies in one year compared to Sly's one Rambo movie. He's doing everything short of writing in his own voting ballot to get himself a "win". He slipped through our fingers twice before. Letting him get away a third time is just a crime against the reasons for these awards in the first place. I mean if there was ever someone tailored made for the Razzies Awards other than Edward D. Wood Jr., it's this man, Uwe "The Only True F'n Genuis In This Industry" Boll.

SPOILERS

You'll find plenty of great scenes to love in Uwe Boll's Postal.

I mean, how can you not love seeing:

• Zack Ward repeatedly fall over in a broken chair during an interview, despite there being other chairs nearby.
• A van plow into a baby in a stroller.
• A bunch of kids being shot up, often in slow motion, while they wait for dolls shaped like crotches.
• A broadcast journalist arrange the dead bodies of the very same kids into a photo op.
• Four cute babes sporting Hitler mustaches so they can blend into a German themed amusement park.
• A black policeman shoot an elderly Asian woman because she speaks with a thick accent and can't get her car through the light.
• The same black policeman scold his neurologically challenged ward because the guy only pulled in $13 at the spot where he was left in his electric wheelchair to panhandle.
• A group of paused rampagers discover the only thing they have in common is that they hate Jews.
• Verne Troyer fulfill prophecy by being raped by a 1000 monkeys.
• Uwe Boll explain his movies are financed by Nazi gold.
• Dave Foley display his full monty and then avail the toilet while Chris Coppola blushes at the view and grimaces at the fumes.
  

What?  You don't think these scenes are great?

Neither did I.

There were a few scenes I laughed at, but were okay at best. 

• The opening sequence with the hijackers debating how many virgins they will receive remains the best scene in the movie. 
• The shootout at the welfare office, as well as the recorder's triple WHAM!my comeuppance later in the movie. 
• Zack Ward's reaction to the interview question "What is the difference between a duck?"
• A promotional speaker getting flattened by a falling, flaming car while cussing out his publisher on the cel phone.
• George Bush and Osama bin Laden holding hands and skipping into the sunset dotted with nuclear explosions.

There were other times where things worked.  Accordingly, this movie should settle the question whether Uwe Boll is a better filmmaker than Edward G. Wood, Jr.  Such a contest! 

However, considering the amount of heart and effort Boll put into filming and promoting this $15 million diarrhea, the few good chunks in the offal do not distract from his delusions of grandeur.

Dennis Harvey of Variety said that Boll and his co-writer Bryan C. Knight do not have the wit to pull off this satire, and he is right.  Perhaps the time will come where someone intelligent and funny could take all that is sacrosanct, offensive, sensitive, feared and taboo and lampoon them with brilliant entertainment.  Boll, on the other hand, can only, even at his best, throw the badly mixed tempura of his ideas on the screen, thinking he is Pollock but merely outdoing bug splatter on the windshield.

I gave this four out of ten stars, partly to show that Postal is at least twice as good as his other films...but mostly because I'm feeling generous tonight!

I'm all for that (see below) especially if Freestyle Releasing is able to follow through on its commitment and place Seed in the theatres this year.  I wouldn't want to see three Boll films vying for Worst Picture--it'd split the vote!

On the face of it, though, I've gotta say, unless this actualy sux worst than NAME OF THE KING (which would be quite an acievement) in the interest of giving other Rotten Movie-Makers a fair shot at RAZZIE Glory, maybe we should limit Boll to just one Worst Picture nomination for 2008. For Worst Director, of course, we can list his name followed by however many titles he miscarries into release this year...
