postal

"Postal", the latest film by love-him-or-hate-him director Uwe Boll, had been gearing up to go head-to-head this weekend against one of the year's biggest films, the new "Indiana Jones" movie. For the better part of two months Boll had been smartly plugging the blogosphere preaching to those that would listen the merits of his dark satire on life post-9/11.

If you haven't been following the 2008 Democratic candidate race, what rock have you been living under? It's getting down to the wire between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and even though the latter candidate is ahead that doesn't mean for one second that the former First Lady is ready to throw in the towel. If Rocky Balboa taught the world anything it's to never give up, right? And after Clinton's win in Pennsylvania last night's primary she may be headed for her own version of "Rocky II" and starting her comeback.

Loads of things are happening across MovieSet that you need to know about and I'm not just referring to that short movie showing Marilyn Monroe giving private dictation to someone. Here's the latest round-up of news bites to show you the great lengths that the MovieSet team are going to bring you the best movie news:

...Susan Ladd! Our winner used her mental savvy to think about what could be stashed inside Mini-Indy's bag and guessed it was a 1943 MKVII gas mask. Unfortunately Susan was wrong; tucked away inside the satchel was a one-of-a-kind Krotchy doll made especially for "Postal" and that comes in its own packaging.

Uwe Boll. Those two words now have the strength of sending parts of the internet into chaos and outright fear. In the past five years Boll has made a slew of video game movies like "Alone in the Dark", "House of the Dead", "BloodRayne", "In the Name of the King", "Postal" and "Far Cry" and he's planning on making more. And while his films haven't been met with open arms by the collective online audience, Boll knows that he's become public enemy number one amongst certain segments of film fans.

The developers of the "Postal" video game, Running With Scissors, have come up with this alternative poster design for the "Postal" movie. As Tony Montana would say, "That Krotchy...he's got balls, mang."

MovieSet has kicked off another contest that you want to enter. If you want to have a chance to win one of 20 "Postal" photo cards autographed by the master of videogame movies himself, Mr. Uwe Boll, get yourself over to our contest entry page and enter the contest right away and then start thinking about where you will put on display your soon-to-be coveted prize.

How do the filmmakers and movie studios decide on the movie poster that you see in the lobby of your favorite theater?

Uwe Boll shared with MovieSet a bunch of confidential marketing designs for "Postal". Naturally we asked him if it would be cool to share it with the world and the B-man gave us the A-OK.

Here's a look at some proposed t-shirt designs for "Postal" where the marketing campaign is taking advantage of the film's over-the-top parodies. Hey, here's a thought: tell us which one you like the best and would wear walking around. We'll tell Uwe the results.

For my buck, the last one is the one for me.

Since we're hanging tiiiight with Dr. Uwe Boll and doing a mega-cool contest to celebrate the May 23 release of "Postal", the guy invited MovieSet to come down to the set of his latest project.
