I said it before, and I will say it again: Uwe Boll is a pure genius when it comes to “promote” his… creations. Negative publicity stunts are made of pure win, and his are even better than that. You probably do remember his previous accomplishments, like the boxing challenges made towards various dudes around the world who were methodically trashing his work… Sure you do, it was priceless.
Now, Uwe is trying to verbally own Spielberg, because his much anticipated (by me) Postal movie is supposed to hit the theatres in the same day that the latest Indiana Jones will, more precisely on May, 23th. Uwe gets on a ranting rampage, predicting his movie will outperform Sbielberg’s. Oh, and that Harrison Ford sucks ass.
“On the Indiana Jones weekend - May 23 - we will go out and destroy Indiana Jones in the Box Office! We all know that Harrison Ford is older as my grandpa and his time is up - would Michael Moore say!”
While I personally await Postal with tons of more anticipation than yet another dungeon crawling, temple plundering Indiana Jones for personal reasons, I am still puzzled at the guts that Boll has. He is a funny dude, I’ll give him that, but as a director… Oh boy.
