Apparently this is Uwe Boll's response to an online petition to get him to stop making movies. There's also a pro Uwe petition, per Herr Boll's request.

I won't dare try to defend the guy's movie making skills, but he's obviously doing what he loves which is more than I can say for most people I know. Let's say the petition works and he's sent packing. It's not like he's just going to apply at Starbucks and work there for the rest of his days. He's made too many connections at this point. He'll just end up producing, editing or even working camera ops for other shitty movies.

Postal is getting released against Indiana Jones here in the US, so I don't think we have to worry about it earning #1 at the box office. In fact, I'm sure he's figured out by now that by failing, he wins. ]]> Uwe Boll Fistfights the Internet http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38326#Comment_38326 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38326#Comment_38326 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 15:26:19 -0700 Solario Uwe Boll Fistfights the Internet http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38328#Comment_38328 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38328#Comment_38328 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 15:32:38 -0700 Will Couper

Which endears him to me somewhat. He just wanted to be a bully.

He's a highly paid director, actually a very canny producer, and he had the mentality of a 12 year old schoolyard yobbo.

Or Eli Roth, making the same movies over and over again...

Okay, POINT, I agree. And it's true the attention Michael Bay's films and Eli Roth's films receive are inversely proportional to their quality, so summing it all up I wish they were all hanging over a pool of white sharks by their necks, because their dicks would be stuck up each other's arses.

It's hate based on the fact the man makes video game movies and they aren't very good. It's hate based on the belief that if someone else had made a movie based on Dungeon Siege or House of the Dead or Bloodrayne? It would have been brilliant because these are obviously deep timeless stories that needed telling

The mans a maybe passable film maker that plays the internet hate like an instrument. Also, he punched Lowtax and made him look as if he was about to cry and that made me happy.

All that aside, Postal was kinda decent.

As for Boll, I really don't understand how he can still be making movies. What sane movie exec would be like "yeah, this guy has a great track record of making money! Let's throw some more his way!"?

I'd like to know the details of how his movies get funded.

I definitely agree with that. I have no problem with those I consider bad artists garnishing success, no matter how much my distaste for them.

I can say this little video of Uwe declaring 'These guys suck, I ROCK!' is more than a little arrogant and nauseating, though.

But it seems like he actually believes what he's saying. I don't know how he somehow rationalizes taking video games AND their plots and simply converting them to movies as genius, but whatever makes him happy. I suppose even Leonardo and Michaelangelo only really painted what their patrons told them to, but at least their art was groundbreaking for their time in more ways than one. However, his conviction makes me feel both disturbed and curious; I'm willing to bet right after he turned off the camera he said, "Hah! I showed dem! Fucking retards." And pictured himself triumphantly walking away to violins and weepy-eyed girls who hath been saved from the false-genius a whole decade of other movies and slept very well that night. Shortly after, he anonymously started said 'Pro-Boll!' petition. I bet it's on Facebook and everything.

But I kind of find myself on a similar page to Val; I might have thought better of him if he'd defended himself more and blew up his head a little less, as amusing as his attacks were. Although I'd probably be a bit impressed if he actually DID do it for the lolz. ]]> Uwe Boll Fistfights the Internet http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38831#Comment_38831 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38831#Comment_38831 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 18:44:28 -0700 MegaGoosey

If I had cared, I would have asked for my money back afterwards...

But no... Uwe Boll needs to go away I think. His movies waste my time. Because even if I don't watch them, I hear about them. And I have to take time out of my day to tell the person babbling about them "I don't care and shut up." ]]> Uwe Boll Fistfights the Internet http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38857#Comment_38857 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38857#Comment_38857 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 20:34:23 -0700 Simon Jones Uwe Boll Fistfights the Internet http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38859#Comment_38859 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38859#Comment_38859 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 20:39:45 -0700 MagicSword!
I think he's doing it for shits and giggles really, I doubt he gives much of a crap what anyone thinks of his movies. ]]> Uwe Boll Fistfights the Internet http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38861#Comment_38861 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38861#Comment_38861 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 20:42:11 -0700 Jay Kay
1. Bay seems to have the sense to at least work with competant writers.
2. Bay is MUCH better at doing action.
3. Bay is MUCH better at making money.

I'm not in any way a fan of Bay's collective work, but I could watch Armagheddon or Transformers and be entertained by the well-worked action of them. Boll is only good if you have a group of friends, a few bottles of hard alcohol, and maybe some certain illegal substances and just MST3K the living shit out of it. ]]> Uwe Boll Fistfights the Internet http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38880#Comment_38880 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38880#Comment_38880 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 22:17:15 -0700 johnmuth
My main question when it comes to Boll's films isn't why or how he is able to make these movies - which almost universally regarded as the highest form of shit. It's the fact that he gets actors like Ray Liotta, Jason Statham, Christian Slater, Kristanna Loken and various others who don't seem like they need the paycheck, to be in his movies.

And I looked up the business for most of his movies and I don't know what kind of crack people are smoking that makes them think that his movies are making money! Fortunately, it's only been in the past few years that he has had the money for big budget movies. Of course, even then his films still look like they were made for less than a few million. In the name of the king was budgeted at $60 million! I'd like to know where that money went, other than probably bribing the actors to say those horrible lines! (I watched it at a dollar cinema, for one of my friend's moving away presents.) The opening of the movie had Liotta and Leelee Sobieski discussing the fact that she could feel him come in her!!!

*Edit* the difference between Boll's shit movies and Bay's shit movies are that Michael Bay uses his budget to make the movies as pretty as possible. Like I stated above with In the Name of the King, for $60 million, that movie could have looked a lot prettier than it did. The best production value was in the "Tree fairies" played by Kristanna Loken and some other "pretty people" and they were almost naked, so no real money needed there. ]]> Uwe Boll Fistfights the Internet http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38889#Comment_38889 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=38889#Comment_38889 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 22:54:31 -0700 madmatt213
Here's the link to the video of Uwe Boll on Attack of the Show. I've only seen a few clips of his movies on YouTube, and I like his attitude in interviews, so you won't hear a peep from me in favor of ousting the man from the business. ]]> Uwe Boll Fistfights the Internet http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=39029#Comment_39029 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=39029#Comment_39029 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 09:50:47 -0700 RenThing
I heard from a friend that a lot of his movies are done in Germany, where the government funds them partially as "art".

They explained it as Uwe goes to the government and says, "I HAVE TEH MOST AWESOME IDEA EVAR!" and spins the movie. Government funds it. He makes the movie under budget (i.e. a cheap piece of drivel) and keeps the left overs.

No idea if this is true or not, only how it was explained to me. ]]> Uwe Boll Fistfights the Internet http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=39031#Comment_39031 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=1741&Focus=39031#Comment_39031 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 09:58:30 -0700 MegaGoosey
Fascinating. I wonder if that's true. ]]>
