Uwe Boll

I just had to post this.

So there's this German director named Uwe Boll who makes films based off of video games. He works outside of the Hollywood system by getting all his funding from the German government and other overseas investors and sources.

Here's the thing... his work as a director sucks! He's been criticized as being the worst director ever! A review of one of Boll's films (Alone in the Dark) stated... "the movie should make all other "bad" movie directors feel better in comparison: "'It's okay,' they'll tell themselves, 'I didn't make Alone in the Dark.'" Another reviewer wrote that his films were "so poorly built, so horribly acted and so sloppily stitched together that they're not even at the straight-to-DVD level."

So now there's this online petition going around getting signatures so that Uwe Boll will stop making movies! And he's actually posted videos of himself addressing this petition. And he gets really irate and starts badmouthing Michael Bay and George Clooney. It's pretty incredible. Check them out:
