| | Posted: | | | | Saw this on a another forum earlier.
To be honest that made me read about Boll abit and desided that i'll buy few more of hes movies on DVD.
Not really because of the retardness of the critics and the "i hate Boll" -bandwagon. But because the ones i've seen were entertaining. People really should just not watch movies from directors they dont like. Its really that simple. | | | | Last edited: by whispering |

| | Posted: | | | | Saw that yesterday and my reaction is :
I'm a fan of Uwe Boll and I own all his movie with the exeption of those from the beginning of his carreer who are only available in German (but I think of buying them anyway). He is not the worst director of all time and he his not the worst director actually. I will watch with pleasure any of his movies before any stupid remake made today.
This internet bashing is stupid and juvenile, this is just a game and not a fun one. Do you really think that thousands of people have already seen "Postal" or "Seed" or his German movies? Certainly not, so explain the rating on imdb.
Last thing : Do you really think that he care a bout an online petition? He is a brilliant guy and when he read this kind of thing written by some anonymous internet users he probably laugh on his way to the bank.
P.S : Nothing personnal about anyone here, just a general statement on this stupid bandwagon |

Fearnet interviews director Uwe Boll, By Christine Colby, 4 april 2008
Are you aware that there is a petition online, signed by 18,000 people, requesting that you stop making movies?
(Dutch)
Website stemt horrorregisseur met pensioen
FEARnet, een Duitse website voor horrorfans, probeert de beruchte cineast Uwe Boll, 'de Ed Wood van de 21ste eeuw', met pensioen te stemmen. Boll is verantwoordelijk voor afschuwelijke gameverfilmingen zoals Zombie massacre, BloodRayne II: deliverance en In the name of the king: a dungeon siege tale.
the Petition: Why would any director, especially an ego head like Boll give a Rat's A** how many people signed an online petition?!  Guys like Uwe Boll, Lars von Trier, ect laugh in the face of public scorne! I think it will just inspire him to make MORE terrible movies |

I think that I've seen somewhere in the forum that you speak German, maybe I'm wrong that will not be the first time If you want too watch "Postal" before me the dvd is already available in Germany. If the dvd would have english subtitles it would be already in my collection, but sadly no subtitles on this so I've to wait  |

Uwe Boll responds to online petition
WOW, what an arrogant prig. I was going to post for everyone to leave him alone but after his tirade I see him as just another director/producer which has a huge ego which needs to be crushed. I hope they make 1 million names just to see if he keeps his word. |

I hope they make 1 million names just to see if he keeps his word. I'm still going to defend him because he just entertains me, with both his movies and off-set antics like this. Be careful signing that petetion, remember the "Raging Boll" beating up critics? Beating up general public haters is the nest logical step. Pretty sure this new video response is just more the same joke. If he really thinks that highly of himself then the joke just turns a bit, but is still funny. |
