Stop Uwe Boll!

Ben Speirs · 06-03-2008, 01:45 PM

You may have already heard of this, but I'm sure we all want him gone, so here I am!

Quoted from Nintendo Official Magazine (UK):
"Terrible German director Uwe Boll (responsible for House of the Dead) joked that he'd stop making videogame tie-in movies if there was a petition that had a million signatures It's now at 280. Sign here!"

PLEASE DO! Even if it is a joke, just do it anyway for your pure hatred for wrecking films that may have had great potential!

Yeah, I heard a lot of people walked out on a free showing of his latest film. Signed.

287450 Signatures Total.

Have internet petitions ever worked?

287580. Dr. Uwe Boll I've always wanted to become a ballerina, and you making shitty movies is stopping me from pursuing that dream

That was mine, I thought it was really funny

At least I helped, he'd be more entertaining as a ballerina anyway

That doesn't nesseccarily(sp?) he'll keep to his words. Remember the Kanye/50 Cent album sales battle?

I don't know really. I don't care for his movies, but what prevents people from just not going to see them? There are obviously some people that like them, and he's obviously profitable for some reason. No one is really forcing anyone to go see them.

I personally don't get this whole stop Uwe Boll thing. I can maybe agree conditionally if you have seen his films, but hell most people signing the petition never have. By all means he makes absolute shit but hey, he's well aware of it and makes them because he enjoys doing so. Also lets be honest video games turned movies is already a recipe for disaster, with that said I'd rather see something terrible I will remember for the rest of my life rather than being a fan of the series and seeing something mediocre that time and myself will forget.

As Ztype said, if you don't wanna see the films don't see them. Avoidance of watching said films based on Bolls credit would serve the same purpose in preventing your viewing as the petition would. Except by petitioning people are trying to destroy one man's dreams to make films while saving the money you wouldn't have spent anyways.

I see it this way:
Which seems to have a bigger impact, a million less people attending a movie which millions more will see, or a million people actually going out of their way to say, "Hey your movies suck and you should stop".

Why do you people give a damn. If he wants to make movies let him waste his time and money. You aren't being forced to watch it or anything so what difference does it make.

Not signing cause I find his movies laughable.

I don't see what the purpose of this "impact" is though. Did the country suddenly turn fascist since Uwe Boll started making movies, so now we have to weed out the things we don't like? I think Starbucks makes terrible coffee, do I start a petition and get it signed by a million people? Or do I just walk down the street and buy my coffee at Dunkin Donuts?

If people want to see his retarded movies let them it's a free country after all and it does no harm.

BTW the count is a little over 1/4 million guys :3

Uwe Boll is a great man with great ideas.

After watching interviews and seeing him beat the shit out of some internet bloggers, I can definitely say that while his movies are living piles of crap, he looks like an awesome guy to hang out with. Drink with even :3

He has a personality, which a lot of directors lack.
