Kids In The Decline

I had heard some rumors about the latest Uwe Boll disasterpiece, Postal (based on the infamous third-person shooter video game), but I hadn't heard just how low he was aiming:
But wait… there's more! Foley's character in the production, called Uncle Dave, is a twisted cult leader who uses his religious doctrine to keep his subjects in a constant state of servitude. He exploits this by luring them into protracted orgies and other debauchery. In the scenes we saw, Foley was dressed in an open robe (and we mean open), wandering around the room barking orders. At the end of the scene, he takes a crap on camera.

That's leaving aside the character of Osama Bin Laden, or the Columbine jokes. Ugh.

I had thought at one point that "Foley" referred to wrestler Mick Foley, who did have a few non-wrestling acting roles on his resume. But no, sadly it refers to former Kids In The Hall member Dave Foley. I guess having It's Pat as the low point in one's filmography just wasn't sufficient.

Between this and fellow Kid Kevin McDonald's recent appearance in the critical and creative bomb (but box office success) Epic Movie (3% at Rotten Tomatoes), I think we better watch out for an appearance by Bruce McCulloch on Armed & Famous 2 sometime in the future.
