UB: It’s hard to get screens because a lot of exhibitors think the movie, Postal, is too politically incorrect. They should book it and leave the decision to the audience.

GVK: Can you explain some of the concerns that have been given as why the film is not getting a major theatrical release; especially with the good word of mouth on the film I find this to be a real surprise.

UB: It’s the exhibitors who are blocking it. If you read this interview go to your theatre and ask if they are going to play “POSTAL” and if the answer is NO; then ask WHY NOT.

Postal 3 Interview:

GTA 4 GOES POSTAL

Uwe Boll: "Michael Bay you do like private karate Asia bullshit crap fighting stuff"
"He sucks suck big time. I think it's time to meet in the ring!"

With Russia’s top game conference and its leading awards show scheduled to occur simultaneously in mid-April, Running With Scissors’ CEO Vince Desi and Marketing Moyel MikeJ wasted no time boarding a jet and getting drunk as they sped to one of gaming’s fastest-growing international hotspots. “Russia is the new America, and Moscow is the new New York, I love coming here,” enthused Comrade Desi said upon arriving in the former Soviet Union. “The people here are fantastic and the Russian gamers are like groupies at a rock concert. Thank God I don’t look like Elton John.”

Advance screenings of Uwe Boll’s “Postal” at New York’s Tribeca Film Center on April 1 and April 3 in Chicago have created genuine buzz regarding the film’s May 23rd rollout.
Times Square Gossip:
"This is a must see movie if you want to have some old time laughs. Scenes with Osama Bin Laden are so funny you are going to drop your popcorn…’Postal’ will take you back to all the laughs you had as a teen. I haven't seen a movie this funny since then, with the audience yelling and falling on the floor laughing.”
Michael J. Hein, Director of The New York City City Horror Film Festival, declares: “’Postal’ is the funniest film of the year…hands down!”

Sign the petition to save Uwe Boll.
Don't deprive the World of the self proclaimed "only genius in the whole fucking buisness!" Support the "little Nazi pervert", he's not a "fucking retard like Michael Bay or Eli Roth!"

Vince Desi:
“I think the best thing we have going is our Supreme Court. The Bill of Rights, is the core of our democracy, and whether liberal or conservative, all citizens have the right to express themselves. The bill is more than unconstitutional, it’s a disgrace. I leave for Moscow next week for a Russian Game Awards event, MTV broadcast, and while they may have a strange political version of democracy, they actually have more social liberties than most.”

Desi: You've got to understand the Nazi humor! [In fake German accent.]

Boll: I want to say something about the Little Germany Nazi thing. The reality is, I'm coming from Germany, and if you make a movie in Germany now, you'll get full support if you say how bad Hitler was.... Now, Germany hates me for that Mini Auschwitz stuff...I got very harsh criticism because of it. I said look guys, let's face it, in Eastern Germany, you have 25 percent votes for the Nazi party. This is a fact...the Nazi party is sitting in Parliament again, but you don't want the foreign countries to see that, right? I portray Germans as a sausage-eating bunch of Nazis! I said it's a....

Desi: [Interrupting] I can't get laid in an East German whorehouse! That's how bad it is.

Boll: But the point is, that you will never get here, the reality is all that German...

Desi: [banging his microphone on his crotch and making humping motions] I found one!

Boll: OK, forget it. I can't even say something serious.

FEAR.NET: Why did you decide to make fun of yourself a bit in Postal?

Uwe: To show that I'm a little Nazi pervert. I think it was necessary to show that I'm able to laugh about myself, and I think it's important—we work in the entertainment business and we are not making decisions of life and death. We shouldn't take it too seriously.

Violent video games are often blamed for real-world violence, and critics of the industry often cite academic studies to back up their claims. Now, a report presented at the British Psychological Society's Annual Conference in Dublin says violent games may in fact lessen the urge to commit violent acts in the real world.
In a study conducted by Jane Barnett and colleagues at Middlesex University, psychologists found that gamers were more likely to be calm or simply tired after playing, rather than itching to go outside and kick someone's head in.

POSTAL's LEGENDARY “Cat Silencer” ENTERS US ARMY'S ARSENAL


The growing link between the military establishment and videogame developers just got a little tighter as one of the most controversial implements in the POSTAL game series arsenal—the “Cat Silencer”—is now part of real world, cutting edge weapons technology.

No, this is not an April Fools Joke. This is real.

Vince Desi, Steve Wik, Mike Jaret and Tim Wambolt answer questions regarding Postal 3 in an exclusive interview on Game Valor. "GameValor got a hold on CEO Vince Desi, Multiplayer Level Designer Tim Wambolt and Product Manager Mike J for a exclusive in-depth interview.
Topics of discussion are Postal 3, development, the franchise, controversy, the Postal Dude, Piracy, Postal the movie, Uwe Boll and more!
Noteworthy is the clarification that Postal is in fact not a “ultra violent “ series but rather akin to a funny, cheesy splatter movie. They also stand by the principles that any creative industry should not be “castrated” by politically motivated censorship (political correctness) guidelines. “We believe that violence belongs in entertainment products - not in the streets.” Indeed these are righteous principles.

Prior to its long-awaited national rollout on May 23, Uwe Boll’s cinematic rendition of Running With Scissors’ POSTAL video game franchise will be shown at special screenings in major American cities, starting with New York and Chicago.

The Big Apple preview will take place at 8PM (EST), April 1st at the Tribeca Film Center (founded by Robert DeNiro and Jane Rosenthal and home to the famous Tribeca Film Festival).

Free screening of POSTAL in New York

"After a brief period during which the www.GoPostal.com site shut down its lively-but-rowdy forums, the legendary POSTAL sounding board is back up and better than ever. “We are welcoming fans to come and take part,” promised Jon Merchant, who has spearheaded the reconstruction of the boards without the flame wars and inappropriate content that kept many of the more mainstream fans away."

POSTAL MOVIE RATED 90%

"Boll has opened his new movie with what plays like a parody of the climactic scenes of UNITED 93. What’s surprising is that the scene is genuinely funny, and sets the fearless, anarchic tone for the madness to follow. This grim farce is equally influenced by SOUTH PARK (and, by extension, TEAM AMERICA : WORLD POLICE), FALLING DOWN, Russ Meyer and Troma Films. Although very funny throughout and broadly performed, this nihilistic comedy is as grim as they come, a fact reinforced by the ending - arguably one of the most subversive fade-outs to any movie this decade. In a kind of 21st century variant on the close of DOCTOR STRANGELOVE, good buddies George W Bush and Osama Bin Laden skip into the sunset together, reciting the parting line from beloved American classic CASABLANCA as mushroom clouds rise above the city and the nuclear holocaust begins. For this astonishing finale (and for the fabulous line “What’s the difference between a duck?”), POSTAL is essential viewing."

"I laughed my ass off! First and foremost is Dave Foley, who effortlessly gives a great performance as Uncle Dave. I’d thought Foley had gone a little soft since his Kids in the Hall days. But after seeing him here, I’m proud to say he hasn’t mellowed one bit. He's just awesome in ways that can't be described without homoerotic overtones. Postal is so ballsy and unconcerned with playing touchy-feely that you have to admire the sheer joyful fearlessness that went in its making. It pokes fun at black people, celebrities, immigrants, Americans, fat people, Muslims, dwarves, Asians, gun nuts, cops, Germany, September 11th, women, religion, Americans, tragedy, war, the holocaust, death, Americans, children, the mentally challenged, and even at Uwe Boll himself!

"EXCLUSIVE: 'Postal' Actually A Good Movie!"
Ready for a shock to the World Wide Web? "Dr. Uwe Boll's POSTAL is one of the funniest movies of the year and his most accomplished film to date. Dr. Boll has not only taken a one-note videogame and written a crassly smart mirror reflecting our jaded, over-caffeinated times, but also assembled his best cast yet. Before you blindly bash Dr. Boll's latest video game-to-film "port" based on his previous work, leave your bullsh#t baggage at the door. It's crude, sometimes campy, almost like the Troma movie Troma could never afford. The film is his most "intentional" comedy yet, a ballsy satire with an offensive mouth, a lot of gore and even a little heart. With POSTAL, Dr. Uwe Boll, the supposed "Satan of Cinema", has finally shown that he's a lot smarter (and funnier) than the geek culture bashes him for, and he might have the cult classic he's been striving to achieve...and might get a little respect out of it."

Wez and Larry of XLeague.tv countdown the top ten weapons in video game history in a hilariously narrated video. A creative comedic weapon from Postal 2 appears at number 3 and also features Vince Desi in a special cameo appearance. Check it out!

After a year of touring the world via film festivals and preview screenings, the film version of Running With Scissors’cult video game franchise POSTAL now has a firm release date. Moreover, Postal: The Movie will make its big screen bow on May 23rd, in direct competition with the first weekend in release for the latest Lucas/Spielberg Indiana Jones flick.
“Frankly,” Running With Scissors’ CEO Vince Desi (who plays himself and the lovable Postal character Krotchy) admitted, “ we’re ecstatic that a release date has been set, and to have Universal behind it is all the sweeter.

“The media is always after a title that immediately pushes the envelope, but RWS CEO Vince Desi hopes people will make up their own minds. Desi talks about his latest videogame and movie projects, explains his take on a recent school shooting that was blamed on violent videogames, talks politics, and so much more. Read on to find out just what makes RWS and Postal work. And while you’re at it, soak in some of these very early exclusive screenshots!”

“We were all very excited at having Vince Desi join us in celebrating our grads,” stated Tim Harrington, an Instructor in the GSP program and an Advisor to the Student Game Development Association. Desi’s speech was motivating and inspirational, while he complimented ours students’ achievements.”

ZN: Why did you decide to put Uwe Boll into the game?
Vince: Because hes Uwe Boll, and he is a really funny guy, so it made a lot of sense, and any way he’s a known target, and lots of fans want to kill him in the game, hahahahaha!

ZN: Lighting people up is fun, can we do it in Postal 3?
Vince: The world is your fire pit, and people make for a great BBQ.

"This GDC for RWS was different,” Desi marveled. “It was inspiring! We showed the world of publishers, press, and, most importantly, gamers the console premier of POSTAL III. It has been an uphill battle since the press and others have consistently misrepresented the franchise’s content. POSTAL was, is and always will be an Action Comedy Adventure! Ten years of fan support, over one million copies sold, and now POSTAL III is running on the Xbox 360. Do I hear PS3?"

New and exclusive Postal 3 articles, screenshots and videos from GDC!
During an exclusive GDC showing of the latest Postal 3 demonstration, some of the top video game websites were treated to a lovely little virtual a tour through a Postal 3 porn shop decorated with glow in the dark "massagers", rubber fists, inflatable sheep, tranny posters and enough dirty tissues on the floor to make anyone pray that allergies is the only thing they'll catch.
(Ah, maybe that's why some of the characters had their hand moving around down in the front of their pants, they were just itchy from the allergies!) In response to all of this, representatives from these websites were heard commenting:
"Wow, um... oh hey, look over there, Fable 2!"

Thanks everybody!

GARY COLEMAN GOT MARRIED!

Daily Star movie critic Phil Villarreal makes a "Postal Post":

"The always entertaining, and in parts sorta NSFW, e-zine PostalNation has a fresh issue up. It’s got new concept art for the long-awaited “Postal III,” which will hit the Xbox 360 at some point this year, according to IGN. It’s about time this absurd madness broke away from its PC shackles. Can’t wait to see what sort of demented achievements are included in the game."

As the recently released Eternal Damnation mod for DOOM accompanies the Postal 2 version for the rankings of best DOOM mods ever, creator BAZOOKA gives us a special behind-the-scenes look at the development process, along with a few image and video previews of the two the games. If you still own a copy of DOOM it is a must that you download and install these mods, no DOOM or Postal fan should be without them!

"As a climax to its year-long celebration of the company’s 10th Anniversary, POSTAL creators Running With Scissors (RWS) announced that celebrated video game music composer Tommy Tallarico would be the first recipient of its Person of the Year Award."

Tallarico’s acclaimed live concert series “Video Games Live” will be performed this year all over the world starting in January.

Though Kumari Fulbright was never a model for RWS, (but should have been), the local Tucson Babe went Postal on her ex-boyfriend! According to reports, the 25 year old kidnapped, tied-up and tortured her ex with gun and knives. She was even accused of biting him several times! Kumari, if you need any work when you're finally released we could definitely use a Babe like you!

"I was writing POSTAL and SEED at the same time, and I put all the really negative and dark energy into SEED, and I took the other energy into a funny mood and wrote POSTAL. We got NC-17 (for SEED) there are a lot of gore scenes. There’s one scene where he kills a woman with a hammer and it’s maybe one of the most brutal scenes ever! We had like 4 minutes with no cuts, everybody is silent after that scene in the theater. There was nothing for me to lose. So I basically did these movies where I didn’t give a shit about investors, and about ratings, and reviews, and censorship. I put in everything I always wanted to say, and the POSTAL team (Running With Scissors) were not really happy about what I did there. They are also fans of ridiculous humor, and brutal stuff, and over the top stuff, and even THEY said “This is too much Uwe, you have to tone it down, you have to reduce it, or else you won’t get any rating or any screens.” But I said “Look, I make the movie, I shoot it now, the way I want to do it.”

"Prepare yourself folks... while it may be dim praise, Uwe Boll has made the best film based on a video game, ever. Sort of like South Park meets Kentucky Fried Movie, Postal tells the tale of the Dude (Zach Ward) a trailer park resident whose life is falling apart. His wife cheats on him, he has no job, a would-be mugger hounds him at every turn, and basically, the entire world around him has fallen to shit (terrorism, religious hysteria, assholes on their cell phones at the coffee shop, etc). One day, he hatches a plan with his cousin, Uncle Dave (Dave Foley), to steal a truckload of high demand Krotchy dolls and then sell them for profit. Unfortunately, Osama Bin Laden (Larry Thomas, aka the Soup Nazi) and his minions have plans for the Krotchy dolls themselves, as they plan to use them to unleash a terror attack. Needless to say, when the two groups meet, all hell breaks loose!"

"You have to hand it to Running with Scissors - they knew how to drive people crazy. For instance, call your ultra-violent action game "Postal," a term coined after a series of homicides by disgruntled U.S. Postal employees during the '80s and '90s. Though the game's cartoonish graphics and disconnected isometric viewpoint made light of its insidious undertones, no one was laughing - especially not the U.S. Postal Service, who promptly sued the pants off the developers for trademark infringement. Though Running With Scissors have somehow managed to crank out a few sequels and even a feature film, the Postal series has remained an example of shock over substance."

In Robert Ludlum's new best selling novel "The Bourne Betrayal" (the latest entry in the Jason Bourne series), a character name Tyrone witnesses arson and the murder of a police officer but remains silent and loyal to the code of the street. That credibility gained him respect of fellow gang members who gave him a small pistol in appreciation. This made Tyrone feel obligated to use the gun because (according to the novel) he "already had some experience blowing people's heads off playing Postal 2 and Soldier of Fortune. As it turned out, the real thing wasn't much different. Just that you had to be careful afterward so the kill wouldn't turn into a career ending move."
As Tyrone would say: "Now dat's just ig'nant!"

(Page 270)

"Herocraft CEO Pavel Prokonich, meanwhile, vows that his mobile Postal Babes will definitely turn heads. “You'll be shocked, amused and tempted! This game will give you a real chance to play with your own Postal Babe!” Due out in time for this year’s holidays, the game will be released in 10 languages."

"Uwe Boll turns out to be an evil comedy genius and delivers what is probably the funniest movie I've seen in five years. Amazing. Postal puts guns in the hands of every third person in the film, which means the two people to the left and right are about to die horribly. You'll see Taliban suicide bombers splattered across storefronts, kids' chests exploding open in hails of gunfire, babies in oncoming traffic, and the formerly unspoken terror of … monkeys in drag.
There were times in this film when I couldn't believe how creative the comedic writing was so I just remained there jaw agape, eyes glued to the screen, and laughing my ass off every five minutes. Postal is the bloody, unflinching, uproarious film most Troma movies wish they could be. Well acted, well written, and 100% fun. Uwe Boll made the funniest movie I've seen all year. Believe it."

"As the end credits of the film began to roll and the directors name appeared on screen the entire room came to their feet and began to applaud. “Postal” is comedy that is indiscriminately offensive, boldly inappropriate, gross, and lewd. But, hey, it's also really funny too. The whole movie is so completely batshit crazy that even the creator of the video game “Postal” makes a cameo in which he screams, “Uwe Boll, what the fuck have you done to my game?”
“Postal” is really like some of the very best violent satiric comedy that we're used to seeing come out places like Troma. Actually, come to think of it, “Troma” would be the best way to describe what “Postal” is. It's a $15 million dollar Troma film. “Postal” is so sharply paced and written and so well handled by Boll and his great cast. Good work, Mr. Boll!"
