I don't believe it.
Up to 52k now.
i signed. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MALE ENHANCEMENT EMAILS TO FLOOD MY BOX!
After I signed I went back to view it and in that three seconds twenty other people signed.
There's hope yet.
54525, there is still a long way to go.
Wow, 50 more since I posted and checked. All of 5 seconds passed.
Not worth the effort since it is clearly BS. Aren't his movies financed by companies who need a tax writeoff?
I signed, because for the love of god something must stop that monster.
Yay, publicity stunt. Nice to see he picked an impossibly high number.They were for a while, but I think they closed that tax loophole a few years ago. In the Name of the King actually had a $60,000,000 budget. Scary.Quote:

Where's the petition for him to continue making films?
You have to put a gun and your mouth and shoot.

I'm not signing this thing. I want Uwe to make movies forever, if only to piss the internet off.

Funny thing about Boll is that his film talents are actually improving, more he makes. In the name of the King was almost watchable :p
I signed, and them some. Somebody needs to stop this idiot from ruining more video game franchises.
You people are crazy if you think he'll stop making movies. Unless they've changed recently, the German tax laws pertaining to filmmaking that he takes advantage of practically give this guy the ability to print his own money.
You are lucky your opinion on this matter is entirely irrelevant.Quote:

There were 15 more sigs the second after I refreshed.

LOL. wtf?
That video just made me his biggest fan.
LOL!!! "I am the only genius in the fucking business"
Oh lawd!
Well, I gotta admit that made me like him a bit. Rofl.
That would take more effort then signing and online petition.Quote:

Lets see, which movie would I rather watch: Transformers or In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale?
lol Uwe got Bolls
Transformers was kinda weak, IMO
and that One minute video is easily his best work ever! lol
I love Uwe Boll's attitude. I also think that Bloodrayne 2 is his best work. Only good thing about In The Name of the King was the cast, can't really say anything good about the rest of the movie.
Transformers was more than kinda weak, it was a pile of shit.Quote:

I love how that video is suddenly getting all you guys on his side.
Anyway, yeah, he's not a great director. But he actually shows incremental improvements with each movie he makes, which personally makes me sad since House of the Dead was so gut-bustingly funny in its badness. As Boll is improving, his movies are becoming ever so slightly less horrible with each installment and thus, less funny to watch. It's a shame.
Still, I can’t hate the guy, because he honestly seems to love his craft and shows tons of excitement for his projects. I mean, who wouldn’t love to be a movie director? He seems to be living his dream, and I can't fault anyone for that.
I still hate the guy and that video only made me want to punch him in the face. He talks about Hollywood being smug. Him talking about his movies like a work of art and anyone who hates him doesn't get him. Says pot meet kettle.
Fuck him and fuck his movies. BTW he's still trying to find a distributor for his Postal movie. POSmf'er.
yeah i totally agree with you thereQuote:

It'll make a great bootleg. Anyway, Michael Bay wrote on his message board:
"
I find people who rant like that - calling shit about both me, and George Clooney - comes from someone screaming because he is not being heard. He is obviously a sad being.
When you ask "do I care"? Not in the slightest."
And Eli Roth is quoted as saying Boll's remarks about him were "the greatest compliment ever."
Transformers owned in every way it needed to own. First and foremost, the robot designs and CGI were fucking awesome. That carries the movie right there.Quote:

With point 1 and 2 secured, who really gives a damn about anything else in the movie? Poorly-choreographed battles included. But then there's Sam's great performance, the female lead's hotness, spurts of awesomeness in the action (Bonecrusher on the freeway, Blackout at the army base), and Agent Smith's rendition of Megatron's voice.
It makes the abundant nonsense, shaky cam, and product placement (who cares about product placement anyway?) a total non-issue. Bay did exactly what he was supposed to do with the movie and I approve.
Not to say I wouldn't love the shit out of an Uwe Boll Transformer movie though! :D
I don't know if you've watched it recently but watch it again without the goggles. It's fucking painful to sit through. Too much boring ass human shit you couldn't care less about (seriously, who gives a rats fuck about the whole government and hacker bullshit?) and not enough big robots blowing up shit.
It's fucking terrible.
You're doing it wrong.Quote:

When you see it at home, it is on DVD and you are skipping around with the remote like some kid with ADD going to the awesome stuff, frame-by-framing the transformations, cranking up the sound when stuff goes "boom!", going to the awesome stuff, frame-by-framing the transformations...
It's your own fault if you watch it straight through at home.
That Postal movie kind of reminds me of something like Kentucky Fried Movie or whatever. And Dave Foley looks like he gets completely nude in it, which is a plus.
I've seen the movie probably 100 times at this point.Quote:

Postal looks fucking dreadful. I'll have to see it for sure.
Day One for Postal BTW.
And Uwe rules in that video interview.
I had originally crafted out some barbed response, but I think quoting it is really enough.Quote:

Transformers is a terrible movie, you are all blinded by "OMG ITS TRANSFORMERS", Even though they aren't really. Robot designs are almost as messy as the direction, the human element is completely unnecessary, cliche and 2 dimensional. Any of the action scenes that could have been good are destroyed by ambiguous robot design and retarded amounts of shaky cam, also known as "I can't direct action for shit" cam. They even had the cliche black guy dying, which is pretty hard in a movie about robots and nokia, but they fucking did it none the less (of course there's a robot on screen just enough to break dance and speak blackanese, and of course he's the only good robot to die).
The movie has 1 good scene which lasts for about 12 seconds, Starscream fucking up the other jets.
They simply should not have made that fucking mess of a movie, if you like it i don't like you as much as i used to.
I enjoyed Transformers, even the second time around.
That video interview is all I have seen of Uwe Boll. I am now very interested in his movies.
As opposed to the TRansformers. That had turd written all over it and I'll probably never bother with it.
This just invalidated everything you said above it.Quote:

The robot re-design sucked. The editing sucked. The pacing sucked. The music choice sucked. The sound effects sucked. The voice acting (minus Peter Cullen) sucked. The acting sucked. The fights might have been good but since you can't make out a fucking thing thats happening I wouldn't be able to tell you, so they sucked. The product placement sucked. The casting sucked. The screenplay sucked. The final fight sucked. The ending sucked.
The best thing I can say about Transformer's is that it was a 2 1/2 hour trailer for a decent Transformer's movie. To bad it wasn't an actual movie.
Also he forgot a Decepticon. Literally forgot one.
God I fucking hate that guy.
Well the best part about this is people failing to realize that they are encouraging him by covering him at all. He's a terrible director, and probably an insane human being, but he is smart enough to know (and actually accept, which is impressive) that any press can be good press, and all you do by complaining about him is increase the curiosity around him.Quote:

P.S. I can't believe how fast this rose to 184,000 signatures. It'll 200,000 by the end of the day on Saturday.
Wow, this thing has a shot.
Barricade just suddenly realized he left his police badge in his other chassis. He had to turn around and go home for it right before the end fight. :DQuote:

To be fair, I wasn't paying attention to the story all those times, just enjoying how good it looked when I noticed it. Everyone has to agree that visually it was amazing.
Jump cuts ruined the "amazing visuals" to a level I had never previously experienced jump cuts actually ruining something. I'm no film major, but if you have two giant fucking robots fighting each other and smashing into buildings, you probably shouldn't film it from a "Saving Private Ryan opening scene" perspective with quick zoom on constant repeat.Quote:

and yeah I still don't get why everyone had such a boner for that movie, it was ok at best, but nothing stellar. The 1986 movie is way better, even if they did kill off Prime.

Current counts on the polls:

Against Boll: 193527
I'm a little suprised, I was almost expecting the pro Boll petition to be higher from people signing just to piss off everyone who's against him.
Somehow I've never seen any of his movies, so I can't really take a side on this.
anyone watch "in the name of the king" yet? i watched it over the weekend and I have no idea what was going on the whole time, that movie totally lacked story, lol!
he once said in an interview on AICN something along the lines of story not mattering the last thing he thinks about, because it doesn't make a difference either way.Quote:

Shit like that.
He literally meant stories, in any context, in any media, are boring and unimportant.
