uweboll: without any censorship
Question: Aves: I like the idea of the movie.I like the reason of you making the movie,but i dont like if Postal its a fit comedy or regular commedy.It has a sublimilar message yes,but as a comedy it would be good?Think also that the story of the movie is not a good reason to explain why you make the movie.Its just a postal dude,a looser in his life,and the terrorist and the goverment attack his village.He makes a killing,yes,but against enemies they attacked him first...so i dont see your protest message

uweboll: RICHER getting RICHER ...that something is wrong

uweboll: and together we will over fell from the cliff
uweboll: and this shows POSTAL

uweboll: if you are 18 you should decide what you wanna see
uweboll: without any censorship
Question: Aves: I like the idea of the movie.I like the reason of you making the movie,but i dont like if Postal its a fit comedy or regular commedy.It has a sublimilar message yes,but as a comedy it would be good?Think also that the story of the movie is not a good reason to explain why you make the movie.Its just a postal dude,a looser in his life,and the terrorist and the goverment attack his village.He makes a killing,yes,but against enemies they attacked him first...so i dont see your protest message
Answer: uweboll: you dont have to show a message
and christians and the army ..and weddings etc..... are you get in every dam sandler or ben stiller film ...in every studio film
uweboll: POSTAL is a mirror
uweboll: it makes you feel : with bush and bin laden beiing buddies --working together etc.
uweboll: with the world trade attack , with all that religious cults ...and then with the RICKER GETTING RICHER and the POORER POORER
uweboll: RICHER getting RICHER ...that something is wrong
uweboll: we have nothimg else to do as to destroy the planet with global warming , we ignoring desasters like Hurrikan Katrina ...we stay all only money driven ... you and me
uweboll: and together we will over fell from the cliff
uweboll: and this shows POSTAL
