Are you trying to show everyone how trendy you are by jumping on the "Lynch Uwe Boll because he's not respecting OUR video game properties" bandwagon? Why do you REALLY want to stop him? I challenge you not to use the names of the movies "Bloodrayne", "Alone in the Dark", or any other film you idiots think Uwe Boll has shamed you on in your answer. Honestly, I have no clue why you morons drone on about Uwe Boll being the Antichrist because frankly the arguments are getting really stale. Oh yea he made adaptations you hate and he boxed a bunch of nerds who pissed on his films. B-F-D...you saw at least one these movies knowing full well Uwe wasn't your bag. You're not helpless. You CAN plunk down funds on the next Michael Bay or Joel Schumacher crapfest but you choose to give Uwe your cash so you can hate him more. Get a new hobby already... Err, what?

What about all the other theatres? I really wish people would stop cherry picking news stories about the guy. He may be a dick but he's not the source of the world's problems. He may be an ass, but so is nearly every director in Hollywood so find a new hobby already. Gee, New Yorkers walking out of a film featuring a 9/11 spoof…how surprising.

Of the 2 times I've seen it (yes 2) I've overheard quite a few people saying some really negative stuff even before the previews ended. It's sad when people have nothing but bad things to say about the guy, but it's completely pathetic when they go see his films to try and find new things to demonize him about. Props to Uwe for wanting to continue to make films with all this crap going on against him....hell, I know it'd make me go Postal.

You must just be an idiot for not liking it. And spy kids 3? If you ever seriously went to see that movie then you officially are a class A jackass for plain stupidity.

Do some research about what? I mean, lets say you found some way to be polite and were able to sit down and have a pleasant conversation surrounding this post. You would like to entreat Matt to look into certain things that would provide a more rich background of information on which to base his opinions. Just what are those things you want them to look into? What is there to research? Oh, I’ll add one more question, specifically surrounding the ‘Do some research’ quote.

Ricardo Montalban, Cheech Marin, Robert Rodriguez, Alan Cumming, Tony Shalhoub, Steve Buscemi, the fact that the first one was good and that the second wasn't horrible.... Unfortunately, this was definitely a case of diminishing returns. I can come up with lots of reasons to see spy kids 3.

Can you prove that? Please provide independent survey results that will prove this theory. I mean, anyone can say anything. "They didn’t get it, that’s why it was free." Errrr. Huh? It was free because people watching the movie didn't get it? I'd like to think I can translate what you are trying to say, but, honestly, this particular instance, I haven't a clue. I get that some people 'didn't get it (the film)'. That's pretty much true about any endeavor, be it cinematic, music, prose, poetry. But I don't see what the fact that some percentage of the population won't get your movie has to do with a free screening. "Do some research before posting this shit about our films." Which particular part is 'this shit'? That 150 people walked out? That your movies suck? Please explain so that I can correct you as to how what you are defining as 'this shit' isn't anything but a person's opinion, and as you have already pointed out, not everyone will get your films, ergo, some people will have a negative opinion about your films, ergo, well... 'this shit' is nothing but an anagram. “If they were paying customers they would have stayed.”
