An open letter...

An open letter to Uwe Boll.

Dear Mr Boll,

I emplore you for the sake of gamers and cinema goers the world over to stop making films. Every single film you have made sucks on a gigantic level, and your current obsession of making films based on video games beyond forgiveable.

We don't care if Hollywood likes you because you'll make five or six films at a time, because all we care about is the sanctity of our games and minds.

In closure, stop making films.

Yours,

Graafen Blackpaw / Thalyi E. Wolfe.

Oh, dear GODS! That hack.

I knew there was a reason I don't go to the cinema, anymore.

The scary part of that interview? The rumors of him directing a Metal Gear Solid movie.

**shivers... don't do it...

Those flash films where he appears with that Bob guy are rubbish too...

*chuckle* Why is everyone so obsessed with Uwe Boll suddenly?

sorry, but i have to disagree.

First off, i liked Alone in the Dark. Not the best film i've seen, but well worth a watch i thought.

Second, nobody is forcing you to watch them, so why should he stop his 'career' on behalf of a few people who didn't like his films.

Third, there are worse directors out there, why is all the criticism being aimed at Boll all of a sudden?

Forth, he obviously enjoys making films
"As a child, he produced a number of short films on Super 8 and video before beginning his studies as a film director"
so just because he's made something of himself, why does that give people the right to knock him down? :(

sorry if that sounded kinda bitchy - lol :P - but that's my view on it.

I watched House of the Dead. it sucked. I also caught a glimpse of the sequel, which Boll had no involvement. Surprisingly, the sequel's better than the original, even if it comes off as a ripoff of the Resident Evil movie with cliched characters.

The first film was "So bad that it shouldn't be watched". The second film is "so bad it's good".

I haven't seen his other work, but after seeing the mediocrity of one of his films, I think I wouldn't be missing much.

DUDE, SERIOUSLY, DON'T SEND THIS!

Watching these fucking ridiculous 'movies' with a huge group in somebodies living room is some of the most fun I've EVER had!


It's like somebody gave an autistic ten year old who just saw Jurassic Park a 50-million dollar budget and an expert film crew!

*randomly websurfs, winds up at this LJ*

I haven't seen movies in a real long long time... I think the last one I saw was Bruce Almighty or something. *shrugs*

Lizard Rat out.
