Hey hey! Ho ho! Uwe Boll has got to go!

Holy crap, I wish I'd thought of that.

An Uwe Boll resignation petition website will garner ad revenues second only to Google itself...

Zendo Deb said...: It probably won't stop him.

What I don't understand is why people keep giving him money for films.

Blood Rayne was TRULY an awful film, not even in way Plan Nine from Outer Space was awful, or Killer Klowns from Outer Space was awful, or ... well you get the idea.; 9:21 AM, April 09, 2008

Every generation needs their very own version of Ed Wood.; 10:05 AM, April 09, 2008
Anonymous said...: Please don't besmirch the name of Ed Wood by comparing him with Uwe Boll. Ed Wood was original in ways Uwe can't even come close.; 10:32 AM, April 09, 2008

Ewe Boll makes truely awful movies. How he tricks people into seeing them ranks up there with PT Barnum's abilities.

Including the "Something Awful" webmaster.

That's so incredibly lame it comes out the other side and becomes awesome. Or maybe it's the other way around. I can't tell.; 3:44 PM, April 09, 2008
Anonymous said...: it's lame--he used to box, so he has some skills. he was just being a bully--however, the critics accepted his challenge, so i guess they should have prepared better.; 3:58 PM, April 09, 2008
Anonymous said...: Oh, it's super-lame- there's certainly absolutely nothing redeeming about a guy "proving" his smaller and weaker critics wrong by beating the shit out of them.

It just achieves a sublime level of absurd when those self-same critics that deemed him crazy, in love with violence, and a sucking black hole of ego actually turn up, suit up, and then complain that he hit them harder than they expected.

Normally, bullies don't get their victims to volunteer to the point that it includes air travel and special outfits.; 4:37 PM, April 09, 2008
Robert said...: I totally signed that sucker.

Hopefully, we will get enough signatures. It'd be wonderful to not have to worry that when your favorite video game franchise is finally being turned into a film that it will be directed (and thus destroyed) by Uwe Boll.

Mikael said...: I was going to say that sometimes he makes a movie that's at least cheaply entertaining, but I was thinking of Dead or Alive, looked it up and he's got nothing to do with it, heh.; 5:12 PM, April 10, 2008

But let's see what happens when he challenges his critics to a film directing match.; 10:44 AM, April 11, 2008
Mikael said...: Ok Steve, that was a bit funny, but then he was also interviewed by one of the biggest a-holes ever to host a show. That guy is positively psychopathic.; 5:13 PM, April 12, 2008
