Ced 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 Uwe Boll seems like the type of guy that gets off of any form of attention that acknowledges what he's doing. It feels like he's daring people to stroke his ego. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smues Report post Posted April 7, 2008 He wouldn't stop if this got 10 million signatures, it's just an ego stroking afair. And besides there probably aren't a million people who have seen any of his movies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jingus 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 They supposedly did, but Boll still has a bunch of movies in various stages of production anyway. Do remember that this is the same guy who literally beat the shit out of several of his harshest critics. I think this petition is just a cover for Boll collecting the names of everyone who hates him, so that he can travel around the world and personally get vengeance Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back stylez. As to whether I think he should stop making movies? Meh. Anytime I'm in the mood to watch something wretchedly modern-Manos bad, any given Boll flick fits that bill perfectly. And it's not like he's pulling a Paul W.S. Anderson and wrecking the GOOD game franchises, who really cares if Bloodrayne or Postal have their descendents humiliated unto the seventh generation because they got Bolled?

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 On some level I have a use for most Boll movies in the so bad they're good vein, but the only one I truly thought was one of the worst pieces of crap ever was Alone in the Dark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 Did they ever fix that German tax shelter law Boll used that turned investments in unprofitable movies into a tax deduction? Yes and no; they revised it to block out international companies exploiting it, but Boll's exploitation of it is still hunky dorey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cd213 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 I just took a look at the petition. It's up to over 117,000 people. The funny thing is most of the people don't even use their real names. They use names like "Smallpox is better than Uwe Boll." People like that are really stupid. Are you afraid that he's going to come after you if you use your real name. It's pathetic. I hope he continues to make movies even if this reaches 1 million people just to piss them off even more! He is my new hero, fuck the haters! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaxxson Mayhem 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 Uwe Boll is hilarious. He makes movies only for the money and tax breaks. Also, he blames EVERYONE else for his shitty movies. If it's not the distributer, it's the video game creator not cross promoting the movie. Also, if you don't like his movies he'll fight you, but only if you are someone he knows he can beat up.

Brocklock 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2008 Boll is pretty hilarious. I don't really know if it's all an act, or if he really thinks he's a genius. Here's a video of what he has to say about the petition: Heeling It Up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 "The only genius in the whole fucking business" If he was truly a genius he wouldnt be making movies like Postal. Who could find that funny? Really? I think Id like to send him an email and see if he'll make "Concentration Camp Movie". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 I wonder what his take on the Mario Brothers movie would've been... Hmmm That might have been the only time in history where Boll might make a movie where you would go, "Well, at least it wasn't as bad as the original." See? Why can't Hollywood remake those movies? The ones that NEED to be redone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jingus 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 See? Why can't Hollywood remake those movies? The ones that NEED to be redone? Careful with that statement. I remember Siskel & Ebert once going on about how Hollywood should be remaking bad movies instead of good ones. The movie in question was a shitty French comedy called Little Indian, Big City. Which WAS remade into the shitty Tim Allen flick Jungle 2 Jungle. During their reviews of the remake, they never quite got around to mentioning the fact that they literally demanded that this movie be made. Although I think it would be interesting for a seriously talented filmmaker to take a legendary bad film and see if they could keep the basic plot intact yet turn it into a good movie. Like Darren Aronofsky's Manos: The Hands of Fate or Alfonso Cuaron's Plan 9 From Outer Space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
