Dave Titus plays The Postal Dude
There are those for whom the Postal series may represent the downfall of human civilization. As for me, I have a sense of humor; I’ll find a way to make anything funny. So it is with Postal. Granted, the first game isn’t much more than gratuitous violence, but the second one is laced with more satire. Besides, you don’t have to kill everyone, or anyone for that matter, in Postal 2. The point is, I like the game because of its absurdity; it’s a nice distraction from the rest of gaming’s offerings.
So, imagine my surprise when Postal: The Movie is announced, especially when Running With Scissors settled on Uwe Boll to head up the project. Honestly, when you think of a movie based on the Postal universe, do you really expect a cinematic masterpiece? Not at all. This is the one movie Boll can’t wreck, because it was a farce from the start. I can’t wait.
Now I find out that Zack Ward has been signed on to play the Postal Dude. Can it get any better? Sure, he’s got the look, and could probably pull off the demeanor. It’s just that while plenty of people might think of him as Scut Farcus (from A Christmas Story), I can’t see him as anyone other than Dave Titus.
At any rate, I’m looking forward to the movie. It’s one of those that’s going to be so absurd it’ll be worth sitting through at least once, preferably with company. And here’s an episode of Titus, so you can see what I’m talking about:
