You mess with the Uwe, you get the horns

Heh. "Raging Boll" Pummels Critics. "Critics hiss through bloody lips, 'Bloodrayne still sucks!'"

Apparently, Uwe Boll went through with his challenge to beat the crap out of some Internet critics. I personally would have liked to see it, if only to see an AICN rep shed blood.

Apparently he also whupped a Rue Morgue writer. Man. Apparently, Boll used to box as a teen, and practiced with the stuntmen on Postal. The beatings will be available on the DVD as an extra.

Lovely.

Man. I hate his movies, but on one level you have to admire his Viking Retort Methodology. He's like a bully in the parking lot after the big school dance. He's not getting any lovin' in the back seat of the Chevette*, so he's just itching for a fight.

"You don't like my movies? Wanna Fight? How 'bout you? You callin' me a liar?"

Doug.

*This is not to imply that there ever was any lovin' in the back seat of Chevettes. But the guys sure said there was. I had no idea, I was too busy trying to not get my head kicked in by aforementioned bully. What can I say, I grew late.

When one has no rational way to justify one's efforts in the face of criticism, one must resort to violence. It's the only response left other than "yo' momma!" which tends to lead to the same conclusion anyway..

I'm not sure how tall you are, but let me assure you that unless you're a midget, there was never any lovin' in the backseat of a chevette. I lost my virginity in the front seat, laid all the way back, of a Chevette.

As for Uwe, I think he's a complete moron, I think his movies are complete shite, but I gotta respect him. Especially since this was a boxing match, and not just a fist-fight (as I thought was being stated from the original post.)

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

Fuck Chuck. Bruce all the way.

You gotta give him credit for wanting to defend his "art", even when he knows there's no defense for it. If nothing else, I think you can admire the guy for the passion he feels for his product.

Sure, it's shite, I'll never watch any more of it (20 minutes of House of the Dead was enough for me), but I still have to give him his props for standing behind it 100%.

Well, I sure as hell wasn't 6'2" then! (Actually, I don't think I am anymore either, but still 6'1"-ish).

No dispute over Uwe's ability as a director. And I've already admitted a degree of admiration in a kind of Viking sort of way.

I was 6', so trust me - even the front seat wasn't the best place. But then, honestly, it was good enough.

I know that, homes. And I was throwin' my $0.02 in with yours. And since mine are American, they're actually worth $0.0223360 Canadian. So nyeah.

Yeah, but it was Quint. I want Fat Bastard himself in the ring because, hell, who DOESN'T want to punch him out?

I'm no Boll fan... but if someone offers to take on all comers in ANYTHING, chances are they're pretty good at it.
The thing to do would be to sit back and laugh at what a stupid challenge it is. I'm having trouble feeling sorry for Lowtax et al.

[thebitterguy]

Oh, agreed. I'd even be Uwe's cornerman in that fight.

When Uwe Boll fights Harry Knowles, who wins? People who like movies.

[thebitterguy]

Yeah, SA guy is not one to attract pity.

I find his claims spurious. He says he wasn't allowed to train? Didn't the Rue Morgue guy train? Was the Rue Morgue guy cheating, or is Lowtax a liar?

[thebitterguy]

Well, I don't think anyone finds it easy to sympathize with Lowtax.

It just seems like a case of no matter who wins the fight, we all win in the end.

[terminal-pariah.livejournal.com]

They've both made careers out of being total dicks, after a fashion.
Lowtax is beloved by millions and Boll is a millionaire. I don't care to speculate as to which one is actually "successful" as I really hate both of them.
