Uwe Boll - The new Ed Wood

Really, I think it'll happen. I saw Bloodrayne, which was boring as *beep* and just *beep* all together, and I am yet to see Alone in The Dark, but House of the Dead was just hilariously bad, much like an Ed Wood film.

It is horribly written, horribly acted, horribly directed, horribly produced, but god damn, it is funny. Unlike other video game movies, which are bad because they are bad (RE Extinction, Bloodrayne), this movie is more like Plan 9, which is good because it's bad. It takes itself so seriously when spilling such stupid dialogue so badly... Apparently In The Name of the King is very similar.

Basicly, this is *beep* plain and simple... but it's the short of *beep* that has that *beep* value that just makes you laugh... I don't want any of you to go out and watch this movie, it's not worth it, but it is like the new Plan 9.

As long as no movie is made about him starring Johnny Depp.

The thing with Ed Wood's films is they've grown a cult following decades after they were made.
D'you honestly see the same thing happening to Boll's tripe?!

[–] maggotman66 16 years ago

Haha Iagree with Isakawa. Ed Wood's movies at least grew a cult following. Uwe's...I hope not. At least with Ed Wood you could kind of understand what he was trying to accomplish and he was working with what he had. Boll....just plain sucks on all levels as a filmmaker. I'm not saying Ed Wood was the greatest, he's just better than Boll. If Ed Wood was a Z-level director then Boll is ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ-Level director.

In fact, the Razzies should be renamed to the Uwe's

Honestly, no joke here, I saw (or "tried to" see House of the Dead on Comcast On Demand but it was so terrible I could only handle about 25 minutes--and that much alone was quite painful) and Comcast claimed it had been made by "visionary director" and "cult movie classic director in the making" Uwe Boll...

I'm very much NOT KIDDING!

Ed Wood is now crying in heaven, because you compared him to that guy! ;)

I'd like to see Boll's films mocked through RIFFTRAX. Like Wood on MST3K.

Please, don't offend Ed Wood by comparing him with that hack!

lol Ed Wood made some of the worst movies of all time, though, admittedly, he is FAR better than Uwe Boll. Uwe Boll is able to make movies through tax laws. Ed Wood had to sell his soul to get to make his movies. Anyway, I still stand by what I said, because REMEMBER, when Ed Wood's movies came out NO ONE LIKED THEM EITHER... it'll just take 30 years or so before people start liking them.
People are saying "ooh, I couldn't sit through this"... have you WATCHED Glen or Glenda or Bride of the Monster? They are physically EXHAUSTING to watch, same with Bloodrayne. Now I've seen House of the Dead (which was horribly funny) and BOTH Alone in the Dark's (which were both... gosh... just... so fuc king stupid), and In the Name of the King (which was just boring) and Postal (which hurt me)
