Petition War Waged Against Director Uwe Boll
You may not have heard of German director Uwe Boll, but you’ve probably heard of his movies. You almost certainly have never seen these movies, but instead passed by Screen 124 while on your way to the blockbuster on Screen 1. Boll has directed such classic crap as Alone in the Dark, BloodRayne, and House of the Dead. All three are adapted from relatively plotless video games. And with even fans of the games complaining, you can imagine how bad these films are.
In fact, people are so annoyed at Boll that after a facetious remark he made in an interview with The Guardian, stating that he’d quit if a million people asked him so, there is now a petition to do that very thing. Check it out here, and get voting!
In retaliation, Boll posted a hilarious video response, claiming that his work is genius and better than all that “social-critic George Clooney bullshit that you get every fucking weekend”.
It’s pretty obvious that Boll is very aware of himself and is generating self-promotion through such ridiculous claims. This is, after all, a man who challenged 5 of his worst critics to boxing matches (and won all five). His movies are flops, and he is only able to make them through a loophole in the German film industry tax-break scheme (am I the only one thinking of Max Bialystock?). Anyway, I implore you to turn the tables on Boll’s plan, and vote against him. Let th epublic decide!





To be fair, Uwe only challenged critics he knew he could beat in a fight. The wonderfully droll columnist for Electronic Gaming Magazine and The Wave (Bay area weekly paper) named seanbaby accepted the challenge but was rebuffed by Uwe when Uwe realized seanbaby is a long-time student of Muay Tai fighting. Dig around and there is some funny articles on this potential fight. Fun. That said, I hope he keeps making movies. The world is a better place when compared to his crap.
If he doesn’t stop after we get 1 mil sigs, I suggest someone shoots him.
