If you're wondering what he's talking about, there was an Internet petition created to get Uwe Boll to stop making movies. Last week, Fearnet.com posted an interview with Boll where he was asked about the petition. There were only 18,000 signatures when the interview was published on April 4, and Boll said it would take 1 million signatures to convince him to stop making movies. As of this writing, there are currently just over 140,000 signatures.
A "pro-Boll" petition has been formed (apparently today, from a comment on the Fearnet.com story) and, as of this writing, there are currently 133 total signatures.
UPDATE: According to JoBlo, both Eli Roth and Michael Bay have responded to Boll's video. Roth responded by saying it was, "the best compliment ever," while Bay posted the following on his message board:
"I find people who rant like that - calling shit about both me, and George Clooney - comes from someone screaming because he is not being heard. He is obviously a sad being. When you ask 'do I care?' Not in the slightest."
UPDATE #2: (4.10.08) The madness ensues as Uwe Boll continues to stoke the flames of the internet fans who hate him. Check it out...
In addition, check out the trailer for his latest flick, Postal.
Postal was released May 23rd, 2008 and stars Zack Ward, Dave Foley, Chris Coppola, Jackie Tohn, J.K. Simmons, Ralf Moeller, Verne Troyer, Chris Spencer. The film is directed by Uwe Boll.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL -----> "So another not for all the Boll haters here out in the web. I don't know what I take away from you but in a way, I get so many hate e-mails and everything and you think like they are like I take money away from you but it's you, you are your own responsible that you don't make movies, it's not my problem and it's not my money what you would get to make your own movies if you get me out of the business I don't even know why you get off on me like crazy because I'm not in the Hollywood system. I'm the opposite basically and maybe this is the reason that you all hate me so much because I prove that you can do it outside the system and you can come up with cheap excuse why you never make it, you are not able to make more than your mini DV video at home with ketchup and your little brother so I really think you should wake up at one point and you should put your jealous situation away. And if you write me, you don't write me with some bullsh*t nicknames out f the internet write me with you name and address so that I can track you down and rip you apart. Thank you." - Uwe Boll

both have fowl mouths, sure he's a little worse than Tarantino One is a High School drop out and Uwe is a smug jerk who thinks is better than us, for someone that hates Hollywood, why attach him self to American films.
That dungeon siege film he did maybe horrible, but when one does want to think nor judge a film then its good to watch.
The main reason why I don't like Tarantino's films is because there ultra violent and way too much swearing involved. I've only seen two of his films to know he's an untalented jerk, no human should swear that much.

OkIunderstand this guy is hurt that people are bashing the hell out him but this responce is not the way to quell the flames. You dont fight fire with fire. I've seen his films, was watching that dungeon siege movie just now. I thought it was just a regular low budget sci-fi movie which I don't mind sometimes. Then saw the cast, not that they're great actors, but a decent director would have made
this bunch at least somewhat beliveable. They dont even look like they are trying.
Michael bay sucks but why take shots at him and clooney? What did they do to him lol? He also calls himself a genius? Who does that ?
Todd89 you gonna seriously compare him to Tarantino?

I've seen two of his films and I enjoyed them up to a degree. It's not only him but there are other things that spoil his films, a poorly written story and bad acting with little or no special effects.
I can say for one thing though, he's not the only one that has some bad films. I don't care for Eli Roth or Quintin Tarintiro or how ever you spell his name, think before you judge his films. Not everyone loves Peter Jacksons films, I may like plenty of directors but a petition to get rid of a director.
He has a right to make films, last I heard this is a free country.
Who's next on your list Michael Bay, George Lucas, David Goyer, or will it be Will Smith? Heak you can't get rid of them, just because you don't like a certain film doesn't mean you have to sign a stupid petition, just don't watch his films.

This is why Boll makes bad movies that tank:
As quoted from Wikipedia - Boll is able to acquire funding thanks to German tax laws that reward investments in film. The law allows investors in German-owned films to write off 100% of their investment as a tax deduction; it also allows them to invest borrowed money and write off any fees associated with the loan. The investor is then only required to pay taxes on the profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money, the investor gets a tax writeoff.
It's pretty much a scam. So all your beloved games are getting raped so a handfull of rich German *ssholes don't have to pay taxes. Gotta love it.

Uwe Boll's movies SUCK! He RUINED Alone in the dark and BloodRayne. Both had the potential to be top selling horror/action films. Filming a potato for an hour and a half would have been a better optoin for him. Where is this petition? I wanna sign!

This dude is a f*cking idiot! There are plenty of film makers outside of Hollywood who produce much better products. So he needs to come back to reality. Every single film he has made is horrible, but he can just keep making them and maybe he'll loose so much money he will just quit. Dammit this mothaf*cka makes me sick!

I signed that petition when I first heard about it. I was completely pissed off at what he did to the BloodRayne movies. He should have played the damn games first before ruining the big screen version.
