I'll come right out and say it: I'd never seen a film of Uwe Boll's. The German director's career took off (for better or worse) with House of the Dead, an '03 adaptation of the 90s light-gun arcade game. Since then he's been the go-to man for mid-profile video game adaptations, with films including 'Alone in the Dark' and the 'BloodRayne' series. My game-to-film watching days ended at Jean Claude as Guile. And after HoTD's universally scathing reviews, Boll's work sealed a spot on my list of films to avoid. The guys been dubbed the Ed Wood of our generation... he prefers to call himself "the only fucking genius" of our generation.

So why was I jumping at the chance to see his newest film 'Postal' when Only announced the sneak preview? Well, 'cause the thing about Uwe Boll is that he makes statements like the above. By Hollywood standards he's batshit insane; the apex of Uwe-chaos reached during his boxing-ring takedown of five internet critics (you may have heard about it, as it happened " target="_blank">here in Vancouver) and subsequent challenges to Michael Bay. After a quick IMDB search, I found out that 'Postal' is Uwe's satirical take on post-9/11 America; staring Dave Foley ('Kids in the Hall', 'Newsradio'), opening with the collapse of the WTC, and boycotted in the States. Um, yes please.

Soon enough the Only magazine reps showed up to fill us in on the fact that Uwe Boll himself would there for a Q&A. All the raving, politically-incorrect Germanic juice after the jump...
