http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/04/06/uwe ... ignatures/Quote: | Ladies and Gentleman, we finally have a chance to rid the cinematic world of a cancer. Uwe Boll, the German director behind such horrid video game adaptations as House of the Dead, BloodRayne, Dungeon Siege and Postal, has recently admitted that he would retire from making movies if enough people want him to stop. When FearNet mentioned to Boll a petition online signed by 18,000 people requesting that he cease making films, Boll responded that “18,000 is not enough to convince me.” So how much would be enough?
Indeed, now we have a goal. All we need is 980,000 more signatures on this petition and we can rid the world of future Boll-directed/produced cinematic atrocities. as my friend Scott Weinberg on Cinematical points out, Tunnel Rats, Far Cry, Zombie Massacre and BloodRayne 3 are already in production. So we might not be able to stop those productions. Be we just might have the ability to prevent a BloodRayne 4 or House of the Dead 3. So sign now! |

House of the Dead 2 is one of my favourite bad movies. I sometimes love to watch bad movies, and Uwe provides them.

This is just silly, and proof that people take movies way too seriously. Bashing him has become so fashionable among fanboys it's plainly ridiculous. It's not as if it's a legal contract and he has to stop making movies if they get those names, plus the whole thing is just more publicity for him anyway. If you don't like him, don't watch his films. I'm not a fan (based on HOTD and AITD) but I'd still watch Dungeon Siege (I usually like fantasy movies whether they are good or bad, e.g. Dungeons & Dragons ) and Postal sounds like it might be an interesting watch.

i didn't go for his f*cking film; i went for the other four that were showing before and after. If i'd have left i'd have lost my seat... he wasted my time therefore i think he's scum. Waste my time to that degree and you get the same evaluation.

You'd suspect the festival organisation to put his film in the middle on purpose

Slayer, Uwe Boll did only the first House of the Dead, so if HoD2 is the only bit of Boll you found tolerable, you can be the 680128-430 signature and counting!
Btw, c'mon... you guys (the ones signing, worrying, bothering etc) can't see the joke is on you?! Boll is having a blast with all the bashing he gets... even more now that he beat one or two dumbfucks who tried to boxe him (or at least put up a decent fight ;p).
Btw²... First time I watched HoD I thought I was gonna die... rewatched it about a month ago, had a blast... dug the videogame bits, the overuse of everything cheesy... the ravers turned swat team concept... the zombies look good, there's more gore than in the sequel for example, the zombie killing is entertaining... had it been made in the 80s people would remember it differently.
On the other hand he did uber-crap like alone in the dark.... BUT if you check on what's to come from him, it doesn't look that hideous... the guy is all over the place, but he's not the worst director alive, "Seed" looks like fun... "Far Cry" might be entertaining (I won't bet on this one though) and there's "tunnel rats"... the trailer believe it or not looks good, not could-be-fun good or cheesy, but actually looks like a nice little war flick, Ittenbach is doing effects and everything.

I'm trying to think of positive things, but its very hard because i keep coming back to this: - Pain his shit film caused me
- Coverage of films that are just bad bad, not fun bad... that's money better spent on other projects that get no coverage.
- Stealing money from the German Film industry; I would like to see new original projects
- Stealing money from the German government and people; if you pay tax in germany, you are/were being screwed over
- Damaging computer games integrity as any kind of viable art form, leading to view points like Roger Ebert which I think aren't very well thought out. Games like Half-Life, System Shock, etc. have potential but not with the way they are currently treated.
Three and Four are not good for anyone except extremely rich people wanting to dodge paying the fair amount of taxes; there's the argument for the Germany industry investment, but I don't think its well spent with the boll buying outside license, foreign actors and hollywood productions to what should a film made by the German film industry. Most people don't have to watch his films like I did, but the other points are quite bad if you think about it.
