Uwe Boll's amazingly strong ability to make bad video game movies continues with the Postal series.

Oddly enough I actually looked forward to this since I've played the game a little and who could really mess up a game where all you do is menial tasks that somehow go wrong and you end up killing everyone?

Well it's coming out this week. Not going to see it 'til it hits the cheap theaters near the end of its run, but considering how Boll's films go and since there hasn't been much advertising for it, that might just be soon.

Anyway, here's a "secret" opening sequence. Not sure if it really is the opening or not, but we'll find out eventually:

You're actually going to see it in any theater whatsoever?

I actually haven't watched any of Uwe Boll's movies, but since I here how terrible they are, them I'm fine in never doing so.

Still, parodying 9/11? People just...shouldn't do that. Parodying real deaths is always disrespectful, regardless of how long ago 9/11 was.

Here, our cheap theaters play movies for $2. It's cheaper than renting a movie that's just come out around here (granted the place I go for movies charges $1.99, but there's still sales tax and so on. But I digress...).

I'm curious enough to spend $2. Better to lose 2 than 10 and feel cheated.

I'll sneak into it after another movie. Or if I've gotten my job at the movie theater by then, I'll just go for free.

That scene was actually kinda funny. Had a bit of a Monty Python-ish feel. Now, what is has to do with Postal, whatsoever! I have no idea...

I've...never heard of Postal...

But if it's Uwe Boll, prepare for the game to be shamed.

I never heard of Postal either. And that opening seemed like it was totally making fun of the hijackers.

Meh, Ill check it out

The funny thing is Postal's one of those games that when translated to film can't really be ruined because it's so fucked up anyway.

The game doesn't have much more plot than you are this guy whose wife gives you a list of things to do over the course of the day (get milk, return library books, etc). The catch is that every time you try to do something on the list, someone either tries to prevent you from doing it or the place is attacked and so on.

Seriously, there's no real point to the game. No movie could go wrong trying to capture the spirit of the game--senseless violence, dry action movie jokes, shoving your gun up a cat's ass and using the cat as a silencer, and so on.

It's a tacky game with what looks like an even tackier movie. Relax.

New trailer out there. I feel somewhat ashamed, because this actually is starting to look good. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the game, whatsoever, but that may be a good thing.

And something I just noticed in the first clip, it says An Uwe Boll Film. Should be A, since - even though Uwe starts with a vowel - the U is making a consonant sound.
