I wonder if George Lucas ever considered this...

http://www.shacknews.com/docs/press/061306_uwe_boll_boxing.x

Notorious movie director Dr. Uwe Boll, most well known for his numerous film adaptations of video games, has extended a bizarre offer to his five harshest critics: fly out to Vancouver and face him in the boxing ring. During shooting for his upcoming film Postal, Boll will set aside two days to fight each detractor in a ten bout match. To determine who have been his most vitriolic nemeses, Boll is accepting self-nominations to info@boll-kg.de, which must be accompanied by proof of negative reviews or internet forum comments. Only critical comments from 2005 will be accepted, presumably to ensure that only longstanding critics, rather than those spurred on by this contest, are in the running.

Dump the "scum and villany" set out into the wild wooley parts of Northern CA and let them struggle their way through the wine and brie crowd for chance to get laughed at as Lucas balances his checkbook.... I'd watch this as a Hyperspace video...

George: So you didnt like the acting eh left hook you thought the effects were weak jab you think the ending was lame right hook K.O. there goes the folks from rolling stone, they are down.

date Posted: Jun 21, 2006 4:59 AM Ohhh, Uwe Boll, shudders I just hope he is a bad at fighting as he is at making movies, Thank goodness he won't be directing the Metal Gear Solid movie! (Any game geeks know what I'm talking about )

date Posted: Jun 21, 2006 11:14 PM I'm sure George is crying all the way to the bank. Boll, on the other hand... do those video game movies even break even? Because I don't know anyone who actually goes to see the things. Yet they keep making them...

The fact of the matter is that no one takes the video game genre seriously, so when it comes time to make one into a movie they hire "directors" like Boll, who have probably never picked up a controller in their live (or taken film classes for that matter).

If some video games, like the above-mentioned Metal Gear Solid, were made into a movie with the same care taken when a book is made into a movie, it could end up being one of the best action films of this generation. As it is, it will probably be another c-level popcorn flick

Uwe Boll. Very idiotic. Here's a guy who obviously cannot defend his movies on an intellectual level therefore he resorts to physical violence. "My brain doesn't work and I can't defend my work with words, so I'll make you think I'm a good director by beating you up".
Geez, which cave does this Neanderthal sleep in?
I suppose he figures that you have to be brain damaged to enjoy his films so he wants to help you along. He is the schoolyard tough who can't get take the jokes, can't joke back so he lashes out in the only way he knows how, physical violence.
