GreenAdder: He's right about MI4.

Came to say this. That movie was a steaming pile.

/Blubberella is one of the funniest things I've seen in years

Headline: "a lot of people just didn't watch my serious movies with an objective eye"

GreenAdder: He's right about MI4.

i really wanted to enjoy it as much as i enjoyed iii, but it was a mess. sketchy plot, too much ridiculous tech, and way too much emphasis on pegg as the comic relief.

having said that, i hope abrams does the next one, too.

that read like an onion article impersonating a director of shiatty movies.

From the fun strip Sequential Art...

Anyone see Stoic?

Some of his more serious work:

Blubberrella: An action comedy centered on an overweight woman whose footsteps cause explosions and whose dual swords are used against anyone who makes fun of her.

Sounds like a charming little romp. Oh Uwe, don't stop being Uwe.

mission impossible 4 did suck

just sayin

MI 4

Just terrible!

I will watch any Boll movie. For me his work is squarely in the so bad they are good. I am sure he did not plan on making bad movies so to hit that level every time is just amazing. If Postal is ever on late at night... Oh ya I will watch it.

jake_lex: Funny how Uwe doesn't seem to be working so much since the German government closed that massive loophole in its tax code that allowed people to bankroll his movies to dodge taxes.

Loophole closed in 2005. He's made more movies after 2005 than he did before. In the US these have been mostly direct to video, however to imply he's suddenly stopped making movies is incorrect, according to IMDB he's directing 2 others at the moment.

So he's working as much, just with less of a budget.

The scene were the fat dhampir spoofs Prescious with a gay man in blackface makes the movie worth it.

GreenAdder: He's right about MI4.

Some of us liked it.

/Something about over-the-top action in exotic locations. Certainly had flash and I like all the actors like the acting ability of all the actors. Forgot Tom Cruise was there.

jake_lex: Funny how Uwe doesn't seem to be working so much since the German government closed that massive loophole in its tax code that allowed people to bankroll his movies to dodge taxes.

He directed 5 movies in 2007 and 3 a year every year since. He's actually been working more since the loophole was closed. God knows why.

To be fair, O Stone is a farking prick.

Uwe Boll is somebody I would love to have a few beers with.

I kinda liked 'Rampage'. In fact, I liked it so much it's the only Uwe Boll movie whose scenes I remember. Everything else he did was preternaturally forgettable.

liam76: Anyone see Stoic?

That is the only Boll movie i have ever seen - thought it was great, looked him up afterwards and was suprised at his reputation.

He should make his own biopic. The recursive suck could well generate something awesome to behold.

When you watch my movies, remember the tooth!

The tooth!

The tooth!


/guess how I mispronounce Uwe... go ahead, guess

downstairs: Oh, Uwe.



Dr Boll is from Germany, which would account for his first name being German. You attempt at a pun ignores this fact in order to go for the cheap, obvious American phoenitical pronunciation based on our vernacular. Dr Boll, being German, does not apply to this as the U is pronounced "oo", the W is pronounced as a "V", and the E is pronounced with a long A. Ipso facto, it is pronounced "oo-vay". I trust that in future attempts to make puns on foreign names, you will properly observe their phoenitical rules.

Oh, and by the way. The proper homophone for "you" is "ewe". So I suggest you bank that joke for the next time people are talking about female sheep. Maybe you won't come across look so foolish.

Canada has similar laws to Germany, and bankrolls "Canadian art".......I guess hiring a Canadian caterer makes it fully Canadian. And Boll moved to Vancouver.

Booth Rampage and Stoic are well done films by Boll. I saw Postal too drunk to remember it. My soul died a little at Bloodrayne.

You may be taking this thread a bit seriously.

Not a BBT fan, eh?

"We can add a lot of humour, also; like, 'where's the toilet?', you know? All this kind of stuff, how a normal guy from today's time would really react in the old times, and adjust to a situation like this. And of course it's a fantasy movie, so it's not historically correct. We thought it's maybe a good idea to move the second part in a direction like this."

This is actually how profoundly uncreative people think that creative people think.

Cookbook's Anarchist: My soul died a little at Bloodrayne

Bloodrayne 2 is worse, Bloodrayne 3 isn't terrible (compared to 1 and 2, it's still bad but Clint Howard was hilarious)

I'm the opposite, I disliked 3 and really liked 4 (it may be my favorite of the 4 movies so far). I like a fair amount of JJ Abrams stuff, but he's really showing the same sort of cliche problems that other directors like M Night Shymalan have. Just like every Shymalan movie has a lame twist at the end, every Abrams product has some sort of lame McGuffin to drive the plot.

/just curious, which tech did you find ridiculous? The only thing that stands out to me was the portable mask making device in a case, but it makes sense they would need something like that, and it broke down anyway. I highly approved of the limited usage of masks in 4.

Mugato: He's uncompromising, and endlessly confrontational... but he's also got a wicked sense of humour.

No he isn't and no he doesn't. Say what you will about Michael Bay but one gets the impression that he actually believes his shiat is good, whether it really is or not. Boll is a cynical money grabber who wouldn't even be in business if he didn't callously work the system.

But at least with Boll, he has given us some "so bad it's good" movies, and let's face it, most of those video game franchises wouldn't have made good movies anyway. (Alone in the Dark being an exception on both counts.) Personally, I would rather see Dr Boll get a five picture deal in exchange for Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer never geing given a dime to make another movie again. These two thieving turds have made a career out of doing nothing more that pilfering pop culture references, viral videos and recent movies. They approach the gags by doing nothing more by reminding you of recent things. Their gags don't even attempt to be funny and are padded out mercilessly until the alleged "movie" barely qualify as a feature length film as qualified by the MPAA. And even then, they still have to drag the end credits out to about fifteen minutes. (The only funny thing about their movies is how slowly the end credits run.) I can't even call them movies. They're fake rolexes.

And at lesat Uwe Boll has the courage to stand by his shiat films. Friedberg and Seltzer run and hide and hope you forget about the last ripoff before they try to sucker you with their next scam job.
