Stop Dr. Uwe Boll Petition
 
Everyone! You must sign this thing! If we don't, he won't stop making films! If you won't do it for yourselves, do it for the games! He ruined 'House of the Dead' (I'll get him for that!); if I remember right he wanted to do 'Warcraft'!

I cannot stress this enough! The madman must be stopped!

Here you go:

I'm not a fan of his movies but I would never want to stop anybody from expressing themselves. He has every right to do so.

neverending 06-25-2008 08:30 AM

Isn't this thing, like... old? He already responded to the petition like months ago and stuff....

Yep......http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33540

Watch The Producers and you may understand what he's doing. It seems to be some sort of "In" joke, where a bunch of A list and B list actors (as well as the rest of the alphabet) get to run around making garbage films with continuity, writing and acting issues and no apologies.

You can try to stop him, but it just proves that you've all seen his films. If you don't like him, don't watch = less money for new garbage. If people continue to watch, they will continue to take your money.

:eek:

vampira 06-25-2008 11:25 AM

Despare 06-25-2008 11:25 AM

Do I get a pack of gum?

ferretchucker 06-25-2008 11:54 AM

A million? Really? How many people do you think are gonna feel the need to search for a Uwe Boll hate page? Really?

I hope not, what about his legacy?

Elvis_Christ 06-26-2008 07:57 PM

Christ this topic is tired I bet next week one about stopping remakes will be posted...

crabapple 06-26-2008 08:09 PM

Okay, now why, why, why...why would anyone want to stop Ewe Boll? The man is sheer entertainment in the brainment. Please, people. He only wants to show us a good time! :eek:

Elvis_Christ 06-26-2008 09:31 PM

There's a lot worse things in the world that need to be put to an end.

colubrid660 06-26-2008 10:12 PM

Uwe Boll sucks ass, but he has the right to put out as many horrible video-game adapations as he wants...plus he's a very vengeful guy, if you guys think i am going to try and box some crazy German motherfucker you got another thing coming...

LOL - that was funny him challanging ppl to fight.

I think i'd take him up on it though - it would be worth it for my 15minutes of Youtube Whoredom.

Vodstok 06-27-2008 06:22 AM

ONline petitions are about as useful as screaming your complaints at a wall. if someone posted an online petition to try and stop me from doing anything, i would laugh at it. it has no power.

my buddy was the lone canadian to fight him - and the only guy to land a shot or 2. he said it was a ton of fun and it was a win for Boll, (and him)

not so much fun for the other skinny ponytailed wimpy knock kneed critics who werent taking it seriously and ended up trurtling in the ring - very embarrasing.

i think it was a brilliant PR sceme that - given the right attitude - could really have been something to take advantage of.

as i mentioned a while ago - a couple of guys are making a doc out of the whole event - centered around my friends prep and eventual fight with Boll ... looks like it'll be a lot of fun when it's finished.

crabapple 06-27-2008 07:30 AM

I gotta say, when I heard about that "boxing challenge" thing, I liked the guy a whole lot more. That's crazy in a funny, good way. Nutty director offers to slug it out in the ring with anyone who finds fault with his work....c'mon, the guy is cool in his own way.

I would like to see him and Werner Herzog go a few rounds. I would pay to see that.

Ditto that, Crabby.

Elvis_Christ 06-27-2008 07:43 AM

Did Boll win?

X¤MurderDoll¤X 06-27-2008 07:47 AM

they all got viciously pummeled

critics are the worst kind of people on the planet.

Boll didnt even fight 4 of the 5 guys - they just put their gloves over their heads and ran away.

my buddy Chris got a couple of good pops in - but he got his bell rung pretty good when Boll knocked him down :)

as a gag - Chris hid a blood capsule in his mouth and he bit it the 1st time Boll connected ... Boll was visibly shocked at the blood and Chris used this to his advantage :) it was pretty funny.


all in all - i think by the end of it there was some mutual respect earned.

Vodstok 06-27-2008 07:54 AM

i wonder if we could get paul ws anderson into a ring...


Or even better, that wimpy little no talent shit Courtney Solomon. you wanna see an ass-beating with hate behind it, let me have 10 minutes with him in a ring. I wont stop until the bell rings, i dont care if he stops moving.

:D Haha awesome! Be keen to see it all go down in a documentary.

_____V_____ 06-27-2008 08:12 AM

You know...I used to detest and loathe the guy.

But lately, I ve been looking at all the M Night Shyamalans, Amy Winehouses, Uli Lommels, Britney Spears-es, Paris Hiltons, Tom Cruises etc. etc....and wondering why hate should be limited to one person only.

Sure he makes shitty movies, but then so do half of the other producers in Hollywood in the name of taste and elegance and style and whatnots.

Also, Postal doesn't look as half-bad as people think. I think its worth a peek. The least it could be is better than The Village. (but of course)

At least he didnt butt-fuck the Alien franchise like Paul W Anderson and Fox studios.

Amen. Boll still sucks, and i hate what he has done to franchises that could have made great movies, but lets face it, practically EVERYONE who has tackled video games for movies has produced shit, just not as spectacularly bad as Boll. I liked Doom when i first saw it, at least as an action movie, but i get more and more pissed every time i watch it, because sticking to the story of Doom 3 would have produced a vastly superior movie.

Lets not forget Michael Bay. Even Steven Speilberg has lost whatever magic made him great. I am no fan of indy films for the sake of being indy; i hate that, but then again i also hate much of the big budget shit out there, because it is just shit (Transformers? dear god...)

we need to keep the good ones happy and working. John Favreau should continue to make super hero movies. Keep Ridley Scott and David FIncher busy. Get Jim Cameron back behind the camera.

Kick George lucas in the nuts, and then again for the horror that is Jar-Jar Binks.

Elvis_Christ 06-27-2008 08:31 AM

I'm nor sure Jim Cameron should get behind the camera after True Lies or Titanic.
The first Terminator ruled and Aliens was dope but his flicks got real hollow after that and lacked heart.

I disagree. True lies was exactly what it set out to be, a not so smart action movie. Titanic, well, he said it himself. it was a 100 million dollar chick flick. i think the final box office numbers on that justify it, plus i enjoyed just fine.


If he ever finishes Avatar, i will be first in line to see it.

Plus he has a kickass script all ready and smoking for Alien 5, if that ever sees the light of production. (as things stand right now)

Stupid studio mofos. :mad:

Vodstok 06-27-2008 09:00 AM

we would have a lot more good moviesif we had more directors with the balls and determination of jim cameron.

high five, titanic is a good movie.

urgeok2 06-27-2008 11:48 AM

oh shit - i hated titanic so much.

i think he did a lucas on that one and completely forgot to develop interesting 3 dimentional characters and concentrated on the technical aspects of the film instead.


top heavy and hamfisted.


but what do i know or matter ... millions of people loved it.
