Kill Uwe Boll's Career, the Challenge Has Been Brought
I'll be upfront with you, I have never seen an Uwe Boll movie. But I have worked at a movie rental outfit, and I have seen the pain riddled faces of people who have rented his movies. The best response ever was when I asked a customer what he thought of Bloodrayne: he looked me right in the eyes, his full of scorn and simply replied, "Fuck you" and walked out.
Awesome!
Surprisingly enough this did convince me to see his films. Strange how I don't want to spend two hours allowing House of the Dead to suck the life out of me.
But I can still hate him, because for every shitty movie with a video game as a basis, it makes the medium look that much worse in mainstream culture's eyes, and more funding is given to a hack director that could have gone towards some awesome. Or coke for studio execs. Either way, as long as Uwe doesn't get the money, everyone wins
Anyways, back on topic. Over at FEARnet.com, they caught up with Uwe for a quick Postal related interview. Which no one probably cares about because the movie is probably a shit-storm of terrible and awful. But what people should care about is the little nugget at the end of the interview.
Are you aware that there is a petition online, signed by 18,000 people, requesting that you stop making movies?
Yeah, I know that. 18,000 is not enough to convince me.
How many would it take?
One million. Now we have a new goal.
Hear that, haters? A challenge!
Let's make this happen, seriously, sign the petition.
