critics

  • Uwe Boll responds to a negative review from Wired magazine of his latest video-game movie, Postal:
    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 fuck 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.
