Mr March Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Is there no low to which this man can sink? From the IMDB http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/2006-06-23/ Filmmaker Challenges Critics to All-Out Brawl German horror director Uwe Boll is so fed up with receiving bad reviews from movie critics he is challenging his detractors to a filmed fight. Boll, whose movies Alone In The Dark and House Of The Dead are based on video games, says he will fly his critics to meet him and will then fight them in a boxing ring. The filmmaker is incensed by an online petition which has 13,327 signatures of people asking him to stop making movies. Boll, who has also invited Roger Avary and Quentin Tarantino to join his fight, plans to air the fights on the internet. He the plans to edit clips into his latest film Postal. Boll says, "I'm fed up with people slamming my films without seeing them. Many journalists make value judgments on my films based on the opinions of one or two thousand internet voices. Half of those opinions come from people who've never watched my films. If critics want to bring Uwe Boll down, here is their chance to physically bring him down and have the entire world watch them do it." Come on! What is this guy, 12 years old? Even if some critic did agree to physically fight Uwe Boll, would that change the box office failure of his poor films or the critic's universal hatred for his movies? This has got to be some kind of publicity campaign. Bad press is good press I'm guessing? Quote
JB0 Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the funniest thing I've seen in ages. Quote
eugimon Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 I sooooo want to see these fights actually take place. Quote
Die, Alien Scum! Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 (edited) Come on! What is this guy, 12 years old? 410732[/snapback] LOL! Yeah, I saw that on IMDB earlier this morning and thought the same thing. What a jack-ass. I feel almost as sorry for Uwe Boll as I do for anyone who has ever seen his films.

Sumdumgai Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 I guess he doesn't want to do the Jay and Silent Bob thing and fly himself out. Oh no, he wants it on home turf. This is funny. Quote
Gaijin Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 I'd take him on. But when I win, I'd want him to promise to give me back that hour plus of my life I saw of House of the Dead on TV. Quote
Noriko Takaya Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Sign me up too. I'll fly over there to kick his ass. Quote
Hiriyu Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 SA's Lowtax has agreed to his offer. I would too. Quote
Vermillion21 Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is the funniest thing I've seen in ages. 410733[/snapback] me too! Quote
sabretooth Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 screw it i'd do my part to save the world from bad cinema Quote
wolfx Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 LOLOLOL!!! FUNNIEST THING EVAR!! Wth...this doesn't do anything good for his credibility. Quote
Zentrandude Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 uwe boll may unite the world to aggree his movies suck beyond anything in this solar system and the next one. Quote
Flaming Guantlet Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 I CALL DIBS ON THE METAL PIPE! I'm gonna break me some "bolls", UWE BOLL'S THAT IS! Seriously this is too rich! Quote
Mr March Posted June 24, 2006 Author Posted June 24, 2006 (edited) LOL! I figured you fellas would get a big laugh outta this idiot. The guy might as well call it quits. I mean, if this isn't raising a white flag I don't know what is. He's simply admitting that the critics have got to him. No point in continuing if he lacks a thick skin. Edited June 24, 2006 by Mr March Quote
Hikuro Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 It also shows how he's gonna loose so much creditability now that he's blown his wad over something so trivial. I was being being told over and over that my movies sucked, I'd expect people to tell me what was wrong with 'em so I can fix that problem in later films....... Crap I almost rented Blood Rayne, wasn't that directed by him? I don't even remember seeing it in theaters, but here it is on DVD....glad I passed it up. Quote
Mowe Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Brain damage might add creativity to his films...help the guy out... Quote

He's a one man army, systematically destroying every video game franchise imaginable. We fans also suffer the nice little ancillary benefit of his abhorrent reputation. I mean, imagine being a filmmaker post-Boll trying to get a video game franchise made into a motion picture. First thing the big studios will do is point to "All those bad video game movies that tanked at the box office in the late 90's and early new millenium." Quite the legacy Quote
Mr March Posted June 24, 2006 Author Posted June 24, 2006 Brain damage might add creativity to his films...help the guy out... 410919[/snapback] Hey! Not a bad idea. Most of the best artists have some kind of physical/mental impairment or some kind of substance abuse problem. This could be a step up for Mr. Boll Quote

Mr March Posted June 24, 2006 Author Posted June 24, 2006 I mean there has to be a reason why Ben Kingsley, the guy who was freaking Gandhi, was in BloodRayne. 410950[/snapback] *sigh*, to go from Ghandi and Schindler's List into the jaws of Uwe Boll. Kingsley what are you thinking? Then again, Ben was in "Species" Quote

Fort Max Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 He was also in Thunderbirds and some Sky Movies adverts over here. Quote

I don't even remember seeing it in theaters, but here it is on DVD....glad I passed it up. 410916[/snapback] Yeah, that was Boll. On the upside, it comes with a free copy of the PC version of Bloodrayne 2, or at least the retail package does. So you might get some use out of it anyways. Don't forget he was also in Sound of Thunder and Suspect Zero, guys been making some odd movie choices lately. 410961[/snapback] Sound of Thunder at least had potential. The original story is a classic. It just got messed up badly in the translation to film. Quote
Noriko Takaya Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 I for one have attempted to watch Boll's movies when released as rentals, and have had a horrible time trying to sit through even ten minutes of one. BloodRayne, on the other hand, was so bad it was actually funny. I found myself laughing through the entire thing, mostly because of Kristana Loken and Michelle Rodriguez bad acting and stunts. I also loved the fact that badass drunk actor Michael Madsen was so inebriated thoughout the film I found myself imitating him. There are times if you watch closely enough, Madsen looks like he is going to puke! And speaking of which, this movie is what Mystery Science Theatre 3000 was made for. Just add your own dialogue! BloodRayne is a horrible, horrible movie, but it is also great for some laughs. Other than that, tie a rope around Boll's scrotum, while anchoring him to a cement post and have a horse pull the rope until the nuts come off. Quote
KingNor Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 man this guy is an ass.... Quotations: "They were better than actors. We looked for local Romanian actresses, but there they are all from the theater and act very broadly. For 150 euros a piece the whores would be naked and do as they were told. It was better." (in an interview for Bloodrayne: The Movie talking about why he chose to use prostitutes instead of actual actresses) "Postal will be so politically incorrect and harsh, it's like a mirror to American society, and I don't think the movie will be well received by everybody. For example, Osama Bin Laden will be one of the lead characters—I think that shows the mood of the movie."[14] "House of the Dead 2 I gave away. Alone in the Dark 2 I will also not do; even if the DVD movie made money. BloodRayne 2 in the Wild West is what I really want to do."[16] Referring to the non-stop television airing of the September 11, 2001 attacks: "This day showed us that we are all completely voyeurs greedy for thrilling entertainment no matter if this is real or not."

Knight26 Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Let's hope the real fight goes like this one: Quote
Die, Alien Scum! Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 That's awesome! "AACHH! MEIN PRECIOUS JUGULAR!" Quote
JB0 Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 I quit reading CAD. Guy's just not consistently funny. That strip being a case in point. Quote
Hikuro Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Ohhhhh you know wha? I'd pay money to see P.W.Anderson and Uwe go at it in the ring. Quote

Perhaps they should be forced to watch this movie instead. Quote
