No longer the worst movie ever!


At last! After 13 years, a movie that is actually worse than this one has been released.

The Lovely Bones!

The only thing Bones is better at than Postboy is the length, although it still was 2 hours and 15 minutes too long.

You haven't seen enough movies if you think that either of those 2 qualify as the worst movies ever.
xXx state of the union anyone?

The Postman was never even close to being "worst of all time". Hell, it wasn't even the worst of '97.

Exactly! There was that god awful remake of The Jackal (Frederick Forsyth must have cursed Chuck Pfarrer).

And what about bloody Anaconda!?

watch "the prysm" then you can go ranting about bad movies.

I'm right there with you. It's a criminally underrated film and one of the best post-apocalyptic movies ever.

I fully admit that it has some problems. A couple of scenes are a little schmaltzy, a couple of lines come off as wooden, and it could have used an edit to smooth up the pacing a tad. But other than that? It has an interesting story, awesome set and costume design, fantastic cinematography, an awesome bad guy, and one of my favorite scores of all time. There's a lot to like about The Postman, especially if you're a fan of the post apocalyptic genre.

****SPOILERS POSSIBLE****
I read the book. The book started off really good UNTIL the POSTMAN encountered some old dude and some kind of super strength humans or whatever started in and the old dude was the hero. The way KC presented the movie was ten times better. I like the plot twist concerning the figure 8 and when PM and Bethlehem have their showdown, PM rips his shirt sleeve, screaming, "I evoke law 7 of the laws of 8---any member may challenge for leadership of the clan". This might not be word for word, but basically that's what was said. And then he rides around to show Bethlehem's men his arm. The team he brought to back him up is shocked. I love that part. Another part I think is shear genius is when the lion in the forest has killed one of Gen. B's guys and they make KC go after it. When he gets the guy and is carrying his bones back across that rickety bridge over the river and purposely crashes through the rotting wood, plunges into the river and swims for his life is just exhiliration. The music on the Postman is really good. I love this movie. Don't diss till you see it.

Uh, Austin Powers anyone?


My rhymes are so potent that in this small segment I made all of the ladies on IMDb pregnant.

vct33 austin powers is hilarious so shut your mouth. Miami Vice is the most awful film of all time with happy feet in second.

"I Know Who Killed Me" is by far the worst thing ever put to film.

"Killers" is a close second.
