A petition is created, and has now gathered around 175k signatures.
So Boll is asked whether or not he actually will put his money where his mouth is and quit making movies if the 1 million signatures are produced. He is apparently a little upset in his reply :
quote:
Hi, here's Uwe Boll, and I have a statement to make about that internet petition. There's a petition out, 'Stop Uwe Boll,' and I said like 1 million people on the petition, I stop actually making movies. I want that there's a petition out there, like a pro-Boll petition, and I expect a million votes pro-Boll. I hope somebody would set it up and you all start signing it, because look: I'm not a fucking retard like Michael Bay or other people running around in the business, or Eli Roth making the same shitty movies over and over again. If you really look at my movies, you will see my real genius, you know? And if you go on May 23 and Postal, you will see that I deliver a movie what nobody else delivered in the last 10 years -- what is way better as all that social critic George Clooney bullshit what you get every fucking weekend. So you have to really wake up and you have to see me what I am. I'm the only genius in the whole fucking business. Goodbye.
Amusingly enough, Michael Bay and Eli Roth have made (short) statements about Uwe's statement :
quote:
Michael Bay Sez :
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.
Eli Roth, on the other hand, finds the situation pretty amusing :
quote:
This video is further proof of Sacha Baron Cohen's genius. Uwe's my favorite character he's created yet.
Personally, I'm finding the whole situation pretty funny, and am just sitting back on the sidelines laughing at all of this. Why can't Uwe Boll be this funny in any of his movies?
EDIT - The Pro-Boll Petition is up and has 13 signatures. Unless there's another one that I didn't see. Khyron fucked around with this message on 04-11-2008 at 08:44 AM.

Surprisingly enough, Postal is actually a good B movie. But you pussies would get offended.
You're one of the people I'm talking about, aren't you.
Uwe lost his grip many moons ago, it seems.
The fact that he and his "movies" are pretty universally reviled just feeds his whole "I'm a great artist and people just don't get me" bullshit.

Let's just say that never was any good at what he does.

You'll never see Scorsese challenge his detractors to a Texas-style Steel Cage match. Callalron fucked around with this message on 04-12-2008 at 08:06 PM.
