The man might be a lousy filmmaker, but he does know how to advertise himself:
quote:
Uwe Boll’s Genius Plan to Destroy Indiana Jones 4
Uwe Boll may not be the most popular director out there today.
Uwe Boll might not be the most innovative director out there today.
But one thing you can not deny is that Uwe Boll is an absolute GENIUS!
Boll has announced his sinister plans to release Postal on May 23rd, going head to head against Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Boll has declared war against Steven Spielberg:
“On the Indiana Jones weekend - May 23 - we will go out and destroy Indiana Jones in the Box Office! We all know that Harrison Ford is older as my grandpa and his time is up - would Michael Moore say!”
“Spielberg gets sloppy. We saw that with War of the Worlds (why the f--- the older brother survived?) and also in parts of Jaws, E.T., Munich etc.! My performance in Postal as ‘Nazi Theme Park Owner’ outperforms easily Ben Kingsley in Schindler’s List!”
This move will likely have a HUGE impact on the Indy 4’s bottom line. I hear that Paramount is terrified and is already discussing options to move Indiana Jones to another date, to avoid competition from Boll’s latest masterpiece. </sarcasm>

I am surprised that none of his films have appeared on this site. I suppose I could do it, but I would rather chew fiberglass insulation.
My mind boggels at how he has fumbled his projects. Ed Wood a terrible director and his movies were barely watchable. Uwe's movie are horrible masses of weapons grade crap. They are vast monuments to everything that is wrong and stupid in movies.
And Indy is going to pound him into the ground. Then again, "Super Babies" could probably pound it into the ground. |

Horror of horrors, I started to think that Boll Weevil was onto something when he said that Spielberg's gotten sloppy in recent years (an opinion I actually agree with). But he couldn't leave it at that. No, he had to trash Jaws and E.T. Nice going, too, dissing Ben Kingsley like that. Idjit.
Boll's statements are a desperate for any kind of publicity, or a symptom of serious delusions. From what I know of this guy, my money's on delusion.
Again, I'd tell this guy that people will work with directors who are nice guys even if not the most talented people in the world, and people will work with directors who are jerks, but also geniuses (I've read that James Cameron is a first-class a**hole, but he's a brilliant director). People will not gravitate toward an incompetent jerk.
But it would fall on deaf ears. |

Ooh, I like that!
Could be a great feud...and if Spielberg uses Freakazoid and the Warner brothers ( And the Warner sister ) to do the replys,we have comedy gold.

Given the controversial nature of POSTAL to begin with, all I really hope for is to see Uwe Boll debate (i.e. have a screaming match with) Bill O'Reilly. That would be endlessly entertaining.

It seems odd to be coming to the defense of Uwe, of all people, but come on. This just strikes me as good old fashioned P.T. Barnum hucksterism. Like a pre-fight WWF verbal smack-down. Of course I would have said the same thing about his box-the-critics stunt and he definitely took that way too seriously. So I dunno, maybe he is just crazy.
