Uwe Boll is up to his old tricks again. The director who has made such financial and critical bombs like
Alone In The Dark,
BloodRayne and
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, has posted a new video on
MovieSet.com/Postal, a site created for his new film
Postal. The video shows Boll responding to a recent internet petition to get him to stop making movies. You have to see this for yourself, but be forewarned, there is some R-rated language in here, folks. Click below for the video.
If you're wondering what he's talking about, there was an Internet
petition created to get Uwe Boll to stop making movies. Last week,
Fearnet.com posted an interview with Boll where he was asked about the petition. There were only 18,000 signatures when the interview was published on April 4, and Boll said it would take 1 million signatures to convince him to stop making movies. As of this writing, there are currently just over 140,000 signatures.
A "pro-Boll"
petition has been formed (apparently today, from a comment on the Fearnet.com story) and, as of this writing, there are currently 133 total signatures.
UPDATE: According to
JoBlo, both Eli Roth and Michael Bay have responded to Boll's video. Roth responded by saying it was, "the best compliment ever," while Bay posted the following on his message board:
"I find people who rant like that - calling shit about both me, and George Clooney - comes from someone screaming because he is not being heard. He is obviously a sad being. When you ask 'do I care?' Not in the slightest."
UPDATE #2: (4.10.08) The madness ensues as Uwe Boll continues to stoke the flames of the internet fans who hate him. Check it out...
In addition, check out the trailer for his latest flick,
Postal.

I can say for one thing though, he's not the only one that has some bad films. I don't care for Eli Roth or Quintin Tarintiro or how ever you spell his name, think before you judge his films. Not everyone loves Peter Jacksons films, I may like plenty of directors but a petition to get rid of a director.
He has a right to make films, last I heard this is a free country.
Who's next on your list Michael Bay, George Lucas, David Goyer, or will it be Will Smith? Heak you can't get rid of them, just because you don't like a certain film doesn't mean you have to sign a stupid petition, just don't watch his films.
As quoted from Wikipedia - Boll is able to acquire funding thanks to German tax laws that reward investments in film. The law allows investors in German-owned films to write off 100% of their investment as a tax deduction; it also allows them to invest borrowed money and write off any fees associated with the loan. The investor is then only required to pay taxes on the profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money, the investor gets a tax writeoff.
It's pretty much a scam. So all your beloved games are getting raped so a handfull of rich German assholes don't have to pay taxes. Gotta love it.
WHERE IN THE FUCK IS IT, IF IT'S IN HIS FUCKING SHITTY ASS MOVIES! I HAVE A FUCKING HATRED FOR THIS PIECE OF SHIT, IF HE'S HERE THEN THERE IS NO GOD! BECAUSE GOD WOULDN'T CREATE A PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT, FUCK THAT FUCKING CUNT HAIR!
If Godzilla was real, I bet he could make better movies.
Uwe Boll sucks a making movies he should just jump in a vat of acid, THAT would end OUR pain of watching SHITTY ASS movies!
