...years experience, has done just that. This weekend, on the set of his newest film Postal-you guessed it, another adaptation of a violent video game, set to open in 2007-he will enter a boxing ring with four Internet film critics, one after another, for a three-round slugfest that he hopes will teach critics a lesson about who they?re slamming. For their trouble, and their bruises, they?ll receive free airfare and hotel accommodations in Vancouver, and roles as extras in the film...
