I'm not saying Levy would have ended up enjoying the movie, but what he's referencing happens less than five minutes from its start. I think everyone I saw it with stayed in there seats. There were at least 80 people in the audience and some even stood and applauded when it was done. This was in Boise Idaho of all places. | | Static Link |

Mat Levy -- who had his 15 minutes of fame as "Cheezy" on season two of VH1's celebrity dating show "I Love New York" -- was one of those who found the movie in bad taste. The last straw for Levy was a scene in which two terrorists hijack a plane in a 9/11-style attack, but then decide to abandon the suicide mission and fly to the Bahamas instead -- only to wind up crashing into a building after the passengers storm the cockpit. Mayor David Roberts, citing the same scene, refused to attend Friday night's premiere. "I did not like Uwe Boll's perception of 9/11," Levy said. "It's ... | | Read Entire Entry |

Come on , i genuinely wanted to see just how bad it was going to bomb , now we don't even get the chance because the theater owners all of a sudden found a conscience . I'm still not sure i want to see this film , but i don't particularly like censorship of this type , what is this , the late 70s early 80s when certain horror movies were only shown in cheap , rundown theaters because the cinema operators were afraid to offend anyone . This amounts to a boycott , and what gets me is that these same theaters are more than willing to show the latest exploitation flick with torture and extreme violence but they won't show this , that's where the hypocrisy comes in . | | Static Link |

If a theater held onto maid of honor, forgetting sarah marshall, nims island, or even a second print of speed racer they would make more money with that then they would with postal.
Boll's film's bomb hard, the gig is up. In the name of the king was released in a little over 1000 theaters and it bombed in JANUARY! Now its fucking MAY and opening weekend of Jones. This movie might have been booked in 500 theaters if it was september, no chance now. | | Static Link |

I have no interest in seeing this , but i'm smelling some hypocrisy and inconsistencies with the theaters decision not to carry the film . | | Static Link |

The way I see it I watch movies that make light of death all the time. I laughed my ass off when Marvin got shot in the face in Pulp Fiction, but people get killed by fire arms going off accidentally every day. Still though, pretty funny when it happened to Marvin. Am I wrong.....is it too early to get a laugh? We can't make Terrorists jokes? Kumar being a Terrorist to the old white women in H&K2 was funny. Are you just so injected with white guilt you can't see that? POSTAL attacks all that which is sacred. You've been warned. | | Static Link |
