Now He's Just Asking For It
This weekend Cinematic slop artist Uwe Boll (Bloodrayne) threw the gauntlet down and claimed that if the Internet petition against him got more than 1,000,000 signatures that he would stop making movies and leave the film industry.
Since that time well over 100,000 signatures have been collected (151,178 as of this posting). In reaction to this Boll, utilizing the same careful logic he's used on all of his horrible movies, has released a statement where he labeled Michael Bay (Transformers) a f**king retard" and that Eli Roth (Hostel, Hostel II) is "making the same sh*tty movies over and over again..." He also announced that he is indeed the "only genius in the whole f**king business". While I have no respect for the works of either Roth nor Bay - why drag them into this? Having Uwe Boll ripping on you is like getting your shorts pulled down by the slow kid in gym class.
This is a publicity stunt - I get it, but its a stupid one. Even if the petition does get a million names, this goof ain't gonna quit making his lowbrow trash. It's not like one can expect the guy responsible for Alone in the Dark to be a man of honor. This said, getting a million names on the petition will follow the guy around for the remainder of his wasteful and shameful career. Sure, its not like he was going to be remembered as a misunderstood genius in the first place but sometimes its important for a culture to call a turd a turd.

I'll sign such a petition for Roth. Especially if it involves commitment to an appropriate institution.
Bloodrayne looks pretty bad, to be sure. But I bet I've enjoyed worse.
You have. The point is that his movies are so putrid that they're beyond being "so bad they're good" - they are truly awful - he's gotten all of this heat for a reason.
