Audience walks during 'Postal' screening
HOBOKEN -- About 200 people were present Friday night at the start of the free screening of Uwe Boll's "Postal" at Pier A Park, but three-quarters walked away long before the closing credits.
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 too soon to mock a plane going into the World Trade Center. Do you not think there are families out there that had their loved ones killed on 9/11? It really upsets me that he couldn't care less.''

German financiers who used a loophole, so that even if the movie tanks they make big bucks.
I think this was the last thing he made before that loophole got closed..

I just checked IMDB. He's got a shitload of movies coming out in the next couple of years. I just don't get it.

Possibly one of the worst directors of all time. He makes Ed Wood look like a genius.

I've only heard of Uwe Boll because he has a reputation of being one of the worst film makers of all time.

He and Ulli Lommel are seriously the worst directors alive. They're stuff isn't even bad in a fun way.
