<div class="IPBDescription">from Uwe Boll movies!</div><a href="http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/04/06/uwe-boll-will-quit-making-movies-with-one-million-signatures/" target="_blank">http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/04/06/uwe-bo...ion-signatures/</a>


Ladies and Gentleman, we finally have a chance to rid the cinematic world of a cancer. Uwe Boll, the German director behind such horrid video game adaptations as House of the Dead, BloodRayne, Dungeon Siege and Postal, has recently admitted that he would retire from making movies if enough people want him to stop. When FearNet mentioned to Boll a petition online signed by 18,000 people requesting that he cease making films, Boll responded that “18,000 is not enough to convince me.” So how much would be enough?
“One million,” Boll said. “Now we have a new goal.”
Indeed, now we have a goal. All we need is 980,000 more signatures on this petition and we can rid the world of future Boll-directed/produced cinematic atrocities. as my friend Scott Weinberg on Cinematical points out, Tunnel Rats, Far Cry, Zombie Massacre and BloodRayne 3 are already in production. So we might not be able to stop those productions. Be we just might have the ability to prevent a BloodRayne 4 or House of the Dead 3. So sign now!

    I heard Postal actually isn't so bad. And I'd rather have Uwe Boll snatching upp all the movie rights and making movies I KNOW are going to be awful than have someone else make the movies, in which case I'd get my hopes up and them see them dashed.

    for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
    {
    signatures.add(new Signature(RandomNameGenerator.get(), RandomCommentGenerator.get()));
    }

    That's Java. I propose that others do it in their programming language of choice.

    If I were Uwe Boll, I couldn't care less about an ONLINE petition. Show me one million REAL signatures.

    Ofcourse I'll sign this internet petition! Even though in the past no internet petition has ever accomplished anything, I will continue to believe that I'm actually accomplishing something.

    Yes, it's actually signing up for a mailing list that extols the virtues of new Uwe Boll movies as they are released to theaters, dvds, extended editions...

    Resistance is futile. Uwe <b>will</b> conquer the world. <a href="http://www.movieset.com/postal" target="_blank">Here he is</a> (caution, not safe for work), responding to the petition with a whirlwind of well thought out arguments and excellent rhetorical skills. How could we ever compete with such a genius?

    <!--QuoteBegin-"Uwe Boll"+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE("Uwe Boll")</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Look, I'm not a ######ing retard like Michael Bay or other people running around in the business or Eli Roth making the same ######ty movies over and over again. If you really look at my movies you will see my real genius, and if you go on May 23 on Postal you will see that I deliver a movie what nobody else delivered in the last 10 years, what is way better as all that social critic George Clooney bull###### what you get every ######ing weekend. You have to really wake up and you have to see me what I am. I am the only genius in the whole ######ing business. Goodbye.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Send a grammar nazi his way and he will go down. That guy can't speak english even if his life depends on it... His accent is even worse then our Dutch prime minister (which is bad!)

    LOL WOW

    i wonder if a director has ever been assassinated for making such bad movies and being such an arrogant p**** about how amazing they are. If so, there'll soon be a second.

    After seeing 30 seconds of a clip from House of the Dead, signed.

    Was he saying "proper petition" or something else. I couldn't tell and I listened to it a few times.

    After watching that I think he's Jack Thompson's twin. Both crazy and out to destroy the video game industry.

    You mean the part where he wants a second petition --> "pro Boll", ergo a positive one voting <i>for</i> him?

    ooooh that kinda makes sense. When he said "pro Boll" I was thinking "professional bowling league".

    signed, it's up past 150,000

    I will certainly not be signing any petitions. That man makes hilarious movies, and as long as he doesn't get his hands on any good game licenses, I hope he goes on making hysterical movies.
