Uwe Bol...

[Joshua]

There are times when a film maker makes a bad movie, and he or she knows, gets on with it, and learns from their mistakes, but there is something seriously wrong with Uwe. A. His movies are bad, awful, beyond horrible on several levels, and B. He blames Michael Bay, Stephen Speilberg, and Americans in general for not understanding the true genius of his films... Lately Movieweb has been hosting these recorded rants of his, and honestly I am refusing to watch anything he's done, not that I cared to watch anything he created in the first place. I was turned off by Alone in the Dark, and I had friends who had nightmares after watching Bloodrayne. It wasn't that the movie was scary, but they kept dreaming that they were still in the theatre watching it. :D

It just astounds me that this guy blames other people for his failures. Who's next... Jews? Roland Emmerich could out film his butt any day of the week. Then again, so could my 7 month old nephew. :P

They have even started a petition to stop him from ruining any more video game liscences. So what do other film makers think of his antics?

Hey Joshua! Long time no see. How are you doing?

I have never seen a Boll movie and I don't intend to do so in future. Although I should give it a try sometime, just to know how bad they really are, or maybe even find out that they aren't as bad as critics say.

What I've read about them so far is that they generally suck. But he seems to make enough money from them (especially from DVD releases I suppose) to keep him in the business. From what I know he finances most of his movies himself.

I am actually doing pretty good. I finished the rough draft of my latest horror script, called Ghosts in the Woods, a few weeks ago. Now I am going back to edit, tweak, rework the script until it shines. I hope to have it marketable by the end of May...

Uwe Bol movies are best avoided. I promise after you watch them, they will make you feel dirty. :D

Hi Joshua, You should join my brother's "Stop Uwe Boll" club. I wear the silicon band just because it says "Support Joss Whedon" on the other side. Like Auric, I've never seen a Boll movie.

Yes, I agree. They are powerful vacuum cleaners--they suck bad!

But at least he's consistent.
