Petition to show your support for Uwe Boll

As opposed to all the great pieces of cinema that emerged from Super Mario Bros, Double Dragon, Hitman, Tomb Raider, Doom, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, etc, etc...

I say having people like Boll in the industry makes cinema that little bit more colourful. That's not a defence of his work, just an opinon.

Having recently sat through both Bloodrayne II and the bloated, pretentious, yet somehow acclaimed The Secret of the Grain (winner of the Cesar award for best picture), I actually found Bloodrayne II the less painful of the two!

But let him practice getting better on movies other than adaptions of awesome video games. Once he can consistantly make good movies, then he can try the video games, even though he's pretty much ruined.

Damn right. It's like, if a band do a few bad songs, it doesn't mean they'll never do good ones and you should hate everything they do. I liked Alone in the Dark, Bloodrayne 2, SEED scared the *beep* out of me, POSTAL was fantastic... I hated House of the Dead but that doesn't mean I'm going to judge everything else he's done.

So agree, postal on my top 10 list for sure!! This is all just a hype, hope he never stops making excellent movies like postal!

Amen to that. Although I don't pity him, I respect him, because he's got bigger balls (in real life I might add) than Ari Gold from Entourage.

he s admitted
he doesnt like playing videos games so how can
he love making films about them
hes in it for the money he earns on dvd sales

Haven't seen Tunnel Rats yet, so I can't draw a hasty judgment of it (as 80% of you obviously have). From what I've seen in the comments/reviews section, most of them think it's a pretty good movie.

So, who are the 500+ spineless priks (yes, the misspelling is intentional)who gave it a 1?

Come on, Uwe's not the best director, I think everyone will agree on this, but the worst?

For Chrissake people, there's a whole branch of Hollywood movie makers especially dedicated to make corny, brainwashed, horrendous films (pretty much everything connected with the names Hilton, Olsen, Lundgren and Disney DVD productions), they have the same or bigger budget as Uwe does, and they're still crap. Even half of the so-called A-list Hollywood directors are talentless hacks with a couple of influential friends and a great film crew (Bay can't direct to save his life, but has a whole army of seasoned cameramen who save every single one of his movies.

I say give the man a chance already! If you want to hate somebody, hate Hollywood studios for the bile trash they are, and not someone who's trying to live his dream, but no one lets him.

Is it envy guys? I sure as heck do envy him for his determination. And he will prove you guys wrong some day. He just has to keep writing his own stuff, be it out of anger, bitterness or pure joy. While I still think everything he's done up until Postal was utter nonsense at best, Postal itself was was one of the most honest films I've seen.

Even Sir Ridley Scott has made some mistakes, and he doesn't get crucified because of it. Not to mention the God awful British chap who actually censored his own movie out of pure greed(and PG-13 means exactly that, and yes, I'm talking about Max Payne). As for you bitter gamers out there, the only good game Boll ruined was Bloodrayne, the rest was dog's testicles anyway.

I'm even making a special episode of my movie show about the man. As with all movies, the same rules apply for Boll's: Don't like it, don't watch it.

And that's all she wrote.
The spice must flow!
