I'm going to assume the SA folk already knew about this. But I read the article and it made me chuckle. I mean, I know you all probably are aware of the challenge Uwe Boll threw out there, but I'm not sure if you knew the matches were set and chosen.

ACES! Another post by Almond:
I hope Boll beats the living shit out of them. I'll pony up $10.00 that says he wins at least one fight who wants a piece of the action?
So..you're actually rooting for Boll?
The man needs to have his clock cleaned backwards and forwards. Maybe then he'll reconsider before murdering another game franchise with a horrendous movie. Katrinity fucked around with this message on 08-23-2006 at 11:12 AM.

You can say what you want about Boll, but at least he some sense of humour to allow such an event.
Allow? It was his idea! haha
We should've had Faz sign up as a critic and send him in there.

Yeah, my statment above was badly worded.

Won't happen, have you seen the guy? He is pretty buff, and has experience with this sort of thing. All you're going to end up seeing is a bunch of critics knocked on their asses.

Yes I am, you want to take the bet? His beating the holy snot out of his critics would be comedy gold and maybe take a little wind out of those bastards sails. Sure Boll might be this generations Ed Wood but I want to see him win anyway

Over the mountain, in between the ups and downs, I ran into Almond who doth quote:

He's more like this generations Bill Zebub, who, incidentally, is also this generation's Bill Zebub.
Have you even seen a Boll movie? Because you're basically advocating people getting beaten up for telling the unmitigated truth.

No one forced them to accept his offer.

Yeah, it's not like those people accepted his invite and are flying up to fight him of their own free will or anything.
That said. I cant stand the guy's films, and he strikes me as a bad smell that just wont go away, no matter how many bottles of Febreeze you spray.

You know, at that point, you should probably just bite the bullet and wash your shorts.

Incidently, I think Boll's directing skills are getting marginally better with each film, though it'll probably take the raping of half a dozen other franchises for him to actually get into the decent catagory.

And I was all like 'Oh yeah?' and Azymyth was all like:
Yeah, Uwe actually looks like he could actually put up a fight. Not that I'm rooting for him.Incidently, I think Boll's directing skills are getting marginally better with each film, though it'll probably take the raping of half a dozen other franchises for him to actually get into the decent catagory.
Now, that's optimism!

Mr. Parcelan had this to say about Duck Tales:
According to him, Lowtax has some plan to carry through this thing that doesn't involve him winning.
This, of course, is expected. If Mr. Bowl doesn't expect lowtax to pull a prank, he's a total moron.
Or he will find a professional boxer who will change his name to Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka.

Man, I would send Lowtax money if I got to see Uwe Boll get his ass handed to him by anyone, ringer or not

So quoth Almond:
If Mr. Boll lost legitimately that would be fine, but its never cool to send in a ringer to do your dirty work. (IMHO)

I would think that the people that agreed to fight him woudln't have done so if they weren't at least halfway capable of actually fighting...
Because MAN would you never live down getting the crap beat out of you by Uwe Boll

They are in trouble then. Because Boll is in extremely good shape, and he is a former boxer.

Finally, you've answered the mystery of why Boll can't make even a decent B-Movie if nothing else: he has taken one too many to the head.

How.... Almond.... uughhhhhh:
Never underestimate what people are willing to do to be in a movie.
I don't think they'd really want to be in a movie done by Uwe Boll.
Probably why Lowtax says he doesn't plan on "winning". He can't win. Even if he kicks Boll's ass, he's going to be a part of his damn movie.

I don't either. Maybe he plans to send that ebaum guy in his place?
