I don’t see what the problem is with German director Uwe Boll, but it probably has something to do with the fact that I haven’t seen one of his movies. Apparently everyone hates him and thinks he should stop making movies based on video games. He’s even gone as far as proclaiming that he would stop making movies if 1 million people signed a petition. Fair enough. Well, Stride Gum for some reason is jumping on the bandwagon and announced this morning that they will give out 1 million packs of gum if that petition reaches 1 million. There’s a deadline, though. The deal only applies if the goal is met by the 14th of this month. A downloadable coupon will be available to those who sign the petition on May 23.

Are his movies that bad?

  • They are epically bad, but I suppose anyone who purposely goes to the movies to see a film adaptation of Bloodrayne or House of the Dead deserves to see an awful movie.

  • Scary bad. BloodRayne had (for the most part) a collection of good actors, a budget that appeared to cover any special effects and scenery that was needed, and a backstory that should have generated an entertaining movie. Maybe not Shakespeare, but at least entertaining…

    What the viewer ended up with (at least this viewer) was a 30 second view of Kristanna Loken’s breasts and 90 minutes of gawdawfulness. For those not into KL’s breasts, they were left with nothing.

    Michael Madsen, Michelle Rodriguez, Billy Zane, (and especially) Ben Kingsly – all wasted on this farce of a movie.

    I’ve read where we have the German tax laws to blame for the messes that are called Uwe Boll movies. It’s a shame that a society that gave us Mercedes, peppermint schnapps, and Lily Von Shtupp somehow also gave us Uwe Boll…

  • Was there an article? I was too busy drooling over the picture. And Tom, 30 seconds of boobies are the point to films like that. Kinda like when I was 12 watching bad horror movies in order to see the errant nipple in the “teenager sneak off to have sex and are axed to death” scene.

  • get postal, dudes :-)
