He said he'd stop making movies if 1 million people would sign for it.

Well, someone made a petition online to see if he'll stick to his word(Which I doubt, but it's worth a try.)

Because seriously, who likes this prick? He sucks, and he's an asshole. Well...If Mystery Science Theater were to come back, I guess there would be some use for his work...

    I love the fact that when people (accurately) describe his films as the worst ever, he challenges them to boxing matches because somehow that vindicates his work? It's like:

    Critic: Uwe, your films are shallow, poorly made and boorish. They play out like the work of a neanderthal moron

    Uwe: Neanderthal moron? Me? How dare you. I'll punch you.

    I love the fact that video games companies are actually starting to refuse to sell him the rights to their IPs. If your video-game movies stand out as being awful even compared to Streetfighter or Super Marios, you gotta have some sort of special talent. :D

    That's always classic.

    I remember an interview he did that a friend sent to me for Alone in the Dark as well. He claimed that it was better than most horror movies out there...then goes on to talk about how it's more of an action movie with a creature in it...not so much a horror creature movie. Then goes on to say how the Matrix style action sequences are overdone, so he's not going to use them anymore. He couldn't make up his mind on anything.

    Apparently he expressed interest in making a Metal Gear Solid film and Hideo Kojima was like "what??! :eek: oh god no! never in a million years would we consider going near Uwe Boll"
    :D

    Know what the best part was? For all the poor fools who thought he was joking, or that it was a publicity stunt: Uwe Boll = former boxer. Oops.



    Furthermore - Uwe Boll is needed in the filmmaking industry. C'mon, admit it, a movie you don't like isn't so bad after all after watching a Uwe "film".
    :p

    I really don't mind him making movies, when it comes down to it, as long as they're not based on MY favourite games. :p Alone in the Dark was a REALLY entertaining movie, for so many awful reasons. :D

    This is a good outlook.
    Stay away from games I like and it's all good.
    Besides, Kristanna Loken nude can't be bad.

    But he can never step up to the most entertaining "so bad they are good movies" ever, the Leprechaun series :D Particularly Leprechaun 5: In the Hood.

    No, really. It has such legendary dialogue as:

    [after first seeing Leprechaun]
    Butch: What the fuck is that?
    Stray Bullet: I don't know, Chucky on crack? Shoot that motherfucker!

    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!

    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love

    The director of this fine piece of film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt_tv7t79WY

    Hels, I know you don't have sound, but trust me, you're better off. :p It's two plane-hijackers arguing over how many virgins they'll get in eternity, and calling Osama Bin Laden to find out for certain... then deciding that they'd rather go to the Bahamas... and then... Ugh. :rolleyes: :o

    He's a filmmaker who tends to make films of video games. Most of his films are contenders for worst film ever. All of his films are critically panned and he has about 5 in the IMDb bottom 100 :p Whenever critics say bad things about his films he challenges them to boxing matches, some of which have taken place and he always wins. He seems to think that justifies his terrible films.

    That clip Rhino just posted was fucking terrible :o According to wikipedia:

    "When Wired published a negative review of Postal, Boll responded with an e-mail claiming that the critic "(didn't) understand anything about movies and that you are a untalented wanna bee filmmaker with no balls and no understanding what POSTAL is. you dont see courage because you are nothing. and no go to your mum and fuck her ...because she cooks for you now since 30 years ..so she deserves it"

    I still think he's a fun character to have around, though. :D
