Uwe Boll vs. The Critics (literally)

[JackBauer]

I've said it before: if it was me up there, I'd gladly punch Boll in the nuts.

My point exactly ( the part where you say you couldn't cook).
One more thing , have you ever cooked in you're life ? Even the smallest thing like making pancakes or making an omelet or even making a salad ?
Cause if you did , you would understand the food and cooking process. You'd know whether something is too salty , when meat is overcooked , when pastry is soggy etc

Understanding something says that you are entitled to tell that chef his food sucks and that he must improve drastically.

Same for movies. Understanding the way movies are made makes you a valid critic.

off topic question :
That line you have in you're sig ? Is that Indonesian or thai ?

that's absolutley ridiculous. You dont need to know how to cook something to know if it tastes like crap. I've never cooked a ham, but I can damn well tell you when one is too salty. I've also never acted or directed, but I can tell you when a movie is poorly acted.

Like Danger Mouse said, it's the end product that matters, not the creation process. I dont care how exactly a director goes about gettign a good performance, just that he does it. He could berate his actors into doing better, or be supportive of them, whatever. I'm not a director, so I cant criticize his methods. What I can criticize are his results, since as a movie watcher it's what I see. Do you get my point? Who cares how the cook makes the food, as long as it's good when you get it. He can cook naked for all I care.

Personally, I find this entire challenge ridiculous. What in gods name does a boxing match prove? "Oh well, Uwe Boll beat me up, I guess I was wrong. He is a good director!!" Maybe if he challenged them to a movie-making competition it would have some relevance. But this is just stupid.

Besides, who cares if I cant make a movie as good as Boll. I'm not the one getting paid to do it. I know that i'm not a good filmmaker. Just like i can say that a professional basketball player is bad at basketball even though i cant play worth a damn. I'm not the one claiming I can, and i'm not the one being paid for it.

There're two types of people in this thread: those who would fight Boll and those who wouldn't. Those who wouldn't should shut up.

Word.

Hell, I cant believe Boll won all those rounds. Shouldnt the last fighter been able to take him out?

Either way, when a judge a film, you're judging the final product. It doesnt matter how hard it was to get that turd out of your ass, a piece of **** is a piece of ****.

 

[KingOfDreams]

Those who wouldn't should shut up.

Here's how I look at it. What's the point in fighting him? It's really childish and proves nothing. It certainly doesn't prove the critics wrong and Boll right or visa versa.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Boll short for Bollocks.. is one of the worse directors ever.

Neither.

I'd fight him.

He'd undoubtedly crack my skull open in under 3 seconds, though.

But I guess I've earned my right not to shut up.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

I respect you, DM.

 

[Danger Mouse]

I respect you, DM.

I am no better than you or anyone else here.

But thank you anyway.

Can we hug now?

 

[Poetic Chaos]

I'll be fine with a respectable bow.
