I don't know if anyone's said this already but, hasn't Boll got the seat for Directing the FarCry movie?

Why can't I be put in the ring with him? I only weigh 11 stone, come on he's got the weight and probably the height advantage. Yet, i'd fight dirty and punch him in the nuts.

If you can't give me a shot at least let Vinnie Jones fight him, Vinnie needs a career boost and everyone would love him if he shit-kicked Uwe Boll.

So yeah, good point, why can't you be put in the ring with him?

If I was more sure he was doing this to be faithful to the game and not to be a total cock, I'd be less offended.

He is an asshole though. I mean, if people were constantly heckling you, would you:

A. Try to respond and correct what people think are flawed

B. Respond in a civilized manner calmly explaining why you made the movie the way you did OR

C. Pull random critics with no experience, preporation or even equiptment for that matter into a boxing ring where you've been at pro level?


Also, it's his own damn fault. Hiring hookers as actors and all.

Horseshit. You're only saying that because it's Uwe Boll. South Park do this kind of shit all the time.

South Park is funny.

And the offending nature is laced through a moral.

They don't just show people getting up in arms about the subject. They show BOTH SIDES acting like infants, and a bunch of 8 year olds are the only moderately intelligent people in the whole ordeal.

Don't even act like South Park JUST does it to piss people off.

That's not what happened though is it? He invited volunteers. Yes, he picked them out, but if they didn't want to get picked they shouldn't have volunteered. They had time to prepare. They knew what they were getting into. If they got hurt it was their own stupid fault.

Again, are you angry at the action or the fact that it's Uwe Boll? If you're having to twist truth to stay angry at someone is it worth being angry?

Actually, wasn't one of the guys he fought some random 17 year old IMBD guy who said Alone in the Dark sucked? And everyone who participated said he didn't even supply basic equiptment like cups, and that they weren't prepped or trained like his original challenge stated.


Who was that guy who went to the hospital after getting the shit beat out of him? Think it was Harry Knowles, but probably not.

Okay I am done drinking, and I'd like to post some more info before I forget it:

1) There was an actual real critic who sparred with Uwe Boll a few nights ago, who was a real amateur boxer. Uwe refused to fight the guy in the ring; obviously he only wanted people with no boxing experience. Anyway, when Uwe was sparring with the dude, the critic / amateur had to quit sparring because Uwe "was taking it too seriously" and really trying to beat the shit out of the guy. So he just said fuck it and left.

2) Apparently when we were in another room, Uwe declared he was going to beat the crap out of all of us and try to "win by knockout." You know, like kinda the OPPOSITE of "this is all a PR stunt we will have fun my movies don't suck" [sic] that he was saying before.

3) Like I mentioned before, Uwe said we would get training, boxing equipment, and lessons beforehand. None of us received any of this, which didn't quite worry us at the time since he kept saying it was just a PR stunt and he wasn't really going to box for real for serious blah blah blah. NEVER trust a German. Three of the guys didn't even have cups to protect their balls; the only reason I had a cup was because my wife bought me one.

4) The dude after me [Sneider] was throwing up and had an EMT by his side for about an hour. He eventually had to have an oxygen mask on. The dude after him was all bloodied up and looked like crap. They too made the mistake of believing Uwe Boll when he said it was just a PR thing, since neither really trained.

I'm with Cardboard Tube on this one. If you agree to get in a fight, with an ex pro/amature in his said sport, you deserve to get the shit kicked out of you and a free ride in an ambulance.

Have some common sense, this isn't complicated. Volunteering to get a in a fight with somebody that has competitive experience or any sort of actual training is a pretty stupid idea.

[spoiler:75363b1676]Cheap shot.[/spoiler:75363b1676]

In all seriousness, no matter how retarded these people are for accepting the challenge, didn't he NOT tell anyone his previous boxing experience?

It's like if Hank Aaron were a director and challenged you to a home run derby, but he was a relatively obscure baseball player and not the legend he is known as. Is it really fair on his part NOT to tell you "Oh my nicknames the Home Run King, by the way. So you're not gonna win unless you cheat. At which point you lose."

And apparently they were told it was a PR stunt. Meaning Uwe would throw a punch or two and then tell them to go get changed because he didn't wanna hurt 'em. Not, y'know, beat the shit out of inexperienced people.

And again, whether or not THEY had experience, Uwe avoided anyone who DID have experience.

Maybe they figured Boll wasn't insane so that it was a gimmick and he wasn't going to try to kick their asses as hard as possible?

The thing is, it was something like "Oh come on guys! It's a joke match. I throw a few pulled punches, you knock me on my ass, I'll buy you a beer after". I mean, they obviously thought they were just entering a PR event, but you DO have to be pretty stupid if you didn't realize he was going to try to beat the shit out of you, considering the way he responds to critics.

The only other source I can find is Boll challenging Seanbaby on Attack of the Show and refusing to appear after he learned Seanbaby was a trained kickboxer.

It's not a remake. Sure it's a homage, but the rest of the story isn't particularly relevant to it. Besides, Titus Andronicus is easily the least performed and studied Shakespeare play. Cool it.

Uwe Boll isn't a world class boxer. He's a pretty good amateur who trained for the fight. And I wouldn't play against Hank Aaron because I can't play baseball.

Uhh, the rest of the story is intimatly relevent to it. Gets revenge for past wrongs, includes defining moment.

The point is that saying "well this episode has nothing to it!" and then putting up the one that directly references Shakespeare is pretty freaking stupid.

Again, doesn't mean anything. That just means he got paid for at least one fight. Doesn't mean he's world class. Certainly doesn't make him the boxing equivalent of Hank Aaron.

I think the point was it doesn't have a moral. A shakespeare reference isn't a moral. This doesn't really have anything to do with Uwe Bolle. Besides, not knowing Titus Andronicus doesn't make someone a moron. Quit being a turd.

Well I would say no because Uwe Boll seems like the kind of guy who'd slip a ruffie into your water bottle and then beat the shit out of you while you were barely awake. And Mike Tyson's a famous boxer, whereas Uwe Boll isn't a famous boxer.

And bad PR is not the same as good PR. Good PR makes people want to see your shit in the future.
Why do people not get this.
"He stabbed his company name into 3000 infants."
"MUST BE A GOOD PR STUNT IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT"
