Almost Everyone Walks Out of Postal Screening; Movie in Bad Taste
June 5th, 2008 by Rajiv Ashrafi in Offbeat
First, the movie does not get the wide release Boll was anticipating… then people start walking out of the theatre during “free” screenings. This just isn’t Boll’s year.
The Jersey Journal reports that three-quarters of the 200 people who were attending the screening walked away before the closing credits, with many finding the movie to be in bad taste. Apparently, it was the 9/11-attack scene that offended most people, including the Mayor of the city who refused to attend the screening based on that scene alone.
Meanwhile, Boll is being usual douche bag-self, stating that the movie is meant to “provoke” and that he meant to “make people start thinking about their own boundaries and rules.”
“I feel it is time now to make a really wild movie, something over the top,” said Boll. “We don’t spare any group. We don’t want to hurt anybody but we want to break the rules.”
