   Uwe Boll Fights Back Against Critics
LinkQuote:Although he hasn't received many box-office dollars for his efforts, Boll has been the subject of the slings and arrows of countless snide forum posts and deprecating articles. So, today, when Skewed & Reviewed first posted a press release announcing that Boll wanted to take on his detractors in the boxing ring, many took it to be the latest in a series of running jokes about the Schweinfurt, Germany-based filmmaker.Guess what? It isn't.Quote:"Towards the end of the filming of Postal the five most outspoken critics will be flown into Vancouver and supplied with hotel rooms," read Boll's press release. "As a guest of Uwe Boll they will be given the chance to be an extra/stand-in in Postal and have the opportunity to put on boxing gloves and enter a BOXING RING [emphasis in the original] to fight Uwe Boll. Each critic will have the opportunity to bring down Uwe in a 10-bout match. There will be five matches planned over the last two days of the movie. Certain scenes from these boxing matches will become part of the Postal movie. All five fights will be televised on the Internet and will be covered by international press."Quote:Boll also called out two of his fellow filmmakers by name to take him on in the ring. "Roger Avary and Quentin Tarantino are among the most eligible candidates," read the statement, referring to the writer and writer/director of Pulp Fiction. Avary also wrote the screenplay for the film version of Silent Hill and will write and direct the upcoming big-screen spin on the Driver games.So guys, who would be your favourite picks to take on Uwe Boll in the ring?   
  the governator did produce some films, didnt he?   ;  Aww, c'mon. This guy?;Quote:After he finishes the ongoing shoot of In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, and the subsequent project, Seed, starring the TV incarnation of Conan the Barbarian, bodybuilder Ralf Moeller (Gladiator), Boll will move onto the big-screen version of studio Running With Scissors' controversial Postal series. During that shoot, Boll will personally take on his biggest detractors in boxing matches to be used in the film.I love how he gives himself two movies time to prepare for taking on 5 guys who will probably be given a fortnight's notice that they'll have their asses whooped on camera. I also wonder how he will gauge who his greatest critics are.Coming soon: Mike Tyson At The Movies reviews Uwe Bolls entire back catalogue.Of course the entire thing is most likely just be more internet lore.   ;Quote:Original post by aidan_walshOf course the entire thing is most likely just be more internet lore.You know what? I bet Uwe Boll can box...He sure can't make movies!   ;  He's got to be good at something, right?Right?   ;Quote:Original post by Iron Chef CarnageHe's got to be good at something, right?Right?Apparently he's decent at breathing.   ;  The funny thing is that if he were, say, a gamedev lounge lizard who decided to make movies like this, many here would probably love him for it, even if they do suck.   ;Quote:Original post by Benjamin HeathThe funny thing is that if he were, say, a gamedev lounge lizard who decided to make movies like this, many here would probably love him for it, even if they do suck.But he doesn't frequent these forums so he is fair game. [wink] Besides, It's not like his first movie sucked but then he got better. He is fairly consistent.   ;  I'll box him, whoop his ass, then steal his box office earnings.Oh..wait a minute. Then I'll just be a broke ass boxer.
