Comment of the Day: Uwe Boll
Back in April of 2008 I wrote a post about the online petition to get Uwe Boll to stop making films. This morning I received the following rant from Mr. Boll himself:
"Uwe Boll: da haben wir den Salat: in seiner Kindheit drehte schon auf 8 Kamera Filme: was soll denn der Unfug: nichts anderes zu tun: als den Leuten auf die Nerven zu gehen: wir muessen wieder in die Vergangenheit und dort ansetzen: wo der Fehler begann: die Kette ist so stark wie das schwaechste Glied: der Fehler wurde in der Kindheit gemacht: das ist das schwaechste Glied: design, colors: B-e-n-j-a-m-i-n B-u-t-t-o-n: schaut man sich mit der Kamera von Uwe Boll auch nicht an: ich habe mir einige Filme angeschaut: liegt an der Kamera: Y-o-u-t-h W-i-t-h-o-u-t Y-o-u-t-h: hat natuerlich

Now He's Just Asking For It
This weekend Cinematic slop artist Uwe Boll (Bloodrayne) threw the gauntlet down and claimed that if the Internet petition against him got more than 1,000,000 signatures that he would stop making movies and leave the film industry.
Since that time well over 100,000 signatures have been collected (151,178 as of this posting). In reaction to this Boll, utilizing the same careful logic he's used on all of his horrible movies, has released a statement where he labeled Michael Bay (Transformers) a f**king retard" and that Eli Roth (Hostel, Hostel II) is "making the same sh*tty movies over and over again..." He also announced that he is indeed the "only genius in the whole f**king business". While I have no respect for the works of either Roth nor Bay - why drag them into this? Having Uwe Boll ripping on you is like getting your shorts pulled down by the slow kid in gym class.
This is a publicity stunt - I get it, but its a stupid one. Even if the petition does get a million names, this goof ain't gonna quit making his lowbrow trash. It's not like one can expect the guy responsible for Alone in the Dark to be a man of honor. This said, getting a million names on the petition will follow the guy around for the remainder of his wasteful and shameful career. Sure, its not like he was going to be remembered as a misunderstood genius in the first place but sometimes its important for a culture to call a turd a turd.

Show Uwe Boll the Door
HT FearNet.com, /Film & Cinematical
Mixing Uwe Boll with cinema is like mixing flatulence with bullhorns. Boll's movies (Bloodrayne, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, and House of the Dead) are abominations - each is nearly impossible to sit through (this coming from a guy who can stomach sitting through the Resident Evil series). Many curse the name of Uwe Boll. This is mostly because of the online population of video game fans (also known as "losers" to normal society). The fans (losers) are offended that their favorite games have been turned into cheap flicks that aren't worth the DVDs they're printed on. I guess the fans (losers) expect video game adaptations to be given the same weight as films based on the works of Jane Austin of Shakespeare. Regardless of the reasons, I do agree with the video games fans (losers) that Boll is a lousy filmmaker. Personally, I don't think he's much worse that many directors (Ben Stiller's constant assault on the world of comedy for example). This said, anytime an arrogant and inept director can be knocked down a peg, I'm game. Here's the deal:
During an interview with FearNet.com Boll was told of an online petition to demand he leave the world of filmmaking. At the time of the interview, the petition had over 18,000 names. In response Boll claimed that 18,000 wasn't enough to convince him to leave his chosen field. He did say however that 1,000,000 would be enough to get him to stop making movies.
The petition says:
Mixing Uwe Boll with cinema is like mixing flatulence with bullhorns. Boll's movies (Bloodrayne, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, and House of the Dead) are abominations - each is nearly impossible to sit through (this coming from a guy who can stomach sitting through the Resident Evil series). Many curse the name of Uwe Boll. This is mostly because of the online population of video game fans (also known as "losers" to normal society). The fans (losers) are offended that their favorite games have been turned into cheap flicks that aren't worth the DVDs they're printed on. I guess the fans (losers) expect video game adaptations to be given the same weight as films based on the works of Jane Austin of Shakespeare. Regardless of the reasons, I do agree with the video games fans (losers) that Boll is a lousy filmmaker. Personally, I don't think he's much worse that many directors (Ben Stiller's constant assault on the world of comedy for example). This said, anytime an arrogant and inept director can be knocked down a peg, I'm game. Here's the deal:During an interview with FearNet.com Boll was told of an online petition to demand he leave the world of filmmaking. At the time of the interview, the petition had over 18,000 names. In response Boll claimed that 18,000 wasn't enough to convince him to leave his chosen field. He did say however that 1,000,000 would be enough to get him to stop making movies.
The petition says:
"We, the undersigned, respectfully ask that Uwe Boll give proper weight to the wishes of the video game community, the horror community, and the film going community in general and stop directing, producing, or taking any part in the creation of feature films. His distasteful handling of the subject matter and lack of acknowledgement of his failures simply cannot be abided any longer.Will the petition get to 1 million names? Would Boll quit even if it did? Who can tell, stranger things have happened. One thing I do know is that If it does get to a million, the petition will have more signatures than Boll has had viewers. C'mon, sign the petition. What was the Internet made for if not mildly cathartic and ultimately meaningless gestures?
Mr. Boll has repeatedly shown a complete lack of comprehension regarding the videogames he has dragged, kicking and screaming, to the silver screen and his ham-fisted approach to horror has soiled future possibilities for anyone else who may attempt to bring videogames to film."
