Uwe Boll
What is your opinion on Uwe Boll? In case you don't know who he is, he is a German director of movies infamous for his video game movies, like House of the Dead, BloodRayne, and Alone in the Dark. I have never seen any of his movies, and judging by some of the reviews I'm reading of his movies, I'm glad I haven't.
Bloodrayne was horrid and I want to see Alone in the Dark to see how he has messed up one of my fav game series. But I wont allow myself to be tormented.
He is a horrible director. I mean, I seriously doubt I've seen a movie worst than House of the Dead. And it was only 5 minutes of it! He should leave video games alone and let them be just that...video games.
When there are petitions to get you to stop making movies you should stop.
It's pretty much a crime that he's allowed to take licenses and run them into the ground, though obviously HOTD, BloodRayne, and Alone in the Dark are hardly hot property these days. It'd be forgiveable if he was just doing little original projects that could be written off, or at least, forgettable, but when there's a fanbase there to be ticked off, it's a different story.
I heard he obtained the rights to Dungeon Siege
Someone mentioned he was briefly considered to make the Soul Calibur movie.
Uwe Boll is the devil incarnate.

I will pay handsomely to the person who rids us of this menace.
I say, that's a bit rash isn't it?

Nah, letters dont get you very far. Letters can be thrown away and ignored, but a good bruise or broken leg cant be gotten rid of as easily.
What really gets me is his utter belief that what he is doing is going to go down in history. The arrogance of the guy goes beyond reason. However he does have a point. Fight Club, Donnie Darko and The Shawshank Redemption. Three great movies, but I guarantee the large majority of people here couldn't name the directors off-hand for all three without checking ImDb. Yet ask anyone to name the director of Alone In The Dark/Bloodrain/House of the Dead and...boom, pop-culture headshot! Uwe Boll will go down as this centuries Ed Wood.
There is no signature here. Move along.
It's true. Terrible movies will always be remembered.
