Filmmaker Challenges Critics to All-Out Brawl

German horror director Uwe Boll is so fed up with receiving bad reviews from movie critics he is challenging his detractors to a filmed fight. Boll, whose movies Alone In The Dark and House Of The Dead are based on video games, says he will fly his critics to meet him and will then fight them in a boxing ring. The filmmaker is incensed by an online petition which has 13,327 signatures of people asking him to stop making movies. Boll, who has also invited Roger Avary and Quentin Tarantino to join his fight, plans to air the fights on the internet. He the plans to edit clips into his latest film Postal. Boll says, "I'm fed up with people slamming my films without seeing them. Many journalists make value judgments on my films based on the opinions of one or two thousand internet voices. Half of those opinions come from people who've never watched my films. If critics want to bring Uwe Boll down, here is their chance to physically bring him down and have the entire world watch them do it."

who wants to be first

Hah, I love how he takes it so personal. If he was mature, he'd try to improve the quality of his films, not resort to this childish "I'll fight you then" mentality. I guess he thinks if he beats up Roger Ebert people will like his films...

There are many threads on this, but it's still funny.

this is like... a week old.

and i hate to say it, but i agree with him on the point that people need to stop bashing his movies without seeing them. 80% of you here are guilty of this, and you all know it. even months and years after alone in the dark and bloodrayne have come out, most of you still bash it, and i highly, highly doubt you have seen either of them.

I saw the last 20 minutes or so of Alone in the Dark, and it was awful. Boll clearly is without any talent, and now he's taking the "Oh yeah, I'll beat you up and pove that I'm a good director!" attitude of a 6 year old. He has a monstrously inflated ego, and he refuses to admit that he's an awful director even though if he wasn't, he wouldn't be called the Ed Wood of the 21st century.

I can honestly say that I have seen both of them.

why I would ever want to admit to this is a mystery all on its own.
