Most people did already hear of him: The German director, producer and businessman
Uwe Boll which has focused on porting video games to movies with his own studio
Boll KG. Averagely, Mr. Boll's movies are being criticized for simply being bad and ruining the name of a good game franchise. I mean like "OH, SHIT! I WISH I COULD UNWATCH IT!"-bad. Personally, as huge game fans, we can agree with this. However, after seeing first trailers for his movie
Postal we were pretty convinced, that this time, it will be an actually good movie. Dark humor is our thing... and the game got plenty of it. Things were looking good for this movie since the game was already so very much fucked-up (in a good way) that chances of ruining it were close to none. Yet, after watching the DVD-release last weekend, we both agreed: Postal is the worst movie EVER made and screening it should be forbidden by law with immediate effect - it's horrible! But of course Mr. Boll thinks of his movie, like always, as the greatest masterpiece ever made. Here's a quote from a website concerning Boll's Postal in German:
Uwe Boll glaubt, er sei besser als Steven Spielberg
Uwe Boll zelebriert Größenwahn in Vollendung. So startet seine mäßige Komödie Postal (siehe auch Filmkritik zu Postal bei GameStar) in den USA am 23. Mai. Am selben Tag kommt auch Indiana Jones 4 in die Kinos. Doch Angst überkommt angesichts der übergroßen Konkurrenz nicht. In einer E-Mail an bloody-disgusting.com schreibt er, warum sein Film gewinnen wird. "Am Indiana-Jones-Wochenende werden wir starten und Indiana Jones an der Kinokasse zerstören! Wir alle wissen, dass Harrison Ford älter als mein Opa und seine Zeit vorbei ist -- würde Michael Moore sagen!"
Uwe Boll
Auch für Spielberg hat Boll einige nette Worte übrig: "Spielberg wird schluderig. Wir haben das bei Krieg der Welten (warum zum Teufel hat der ältere der beiden Brüder überlebt?) und teilweise schon bei Der weiße Hai, E.T., München usw. gesehen! Meine schauspielerische Leistung in Postal als Besitzer des Nazi-Vergnügungsparks übersteigt locker die von Ben Kingsley in Schindlers Liste!"
Frankly, he's saying that he will "destroy" Indiana Jones 4, which screens on the same date as Postal in the USA (23. May). Furthermore, he obviously thinks he's better than Steven Spielberg in terms of movie making and calls his theatrical appearance in Postal, as owner of a Nazi-theme park, better than
Ben Kingley's in
Schindler's List. Nevertheless, we believe Boll to be a really cool guy. I mean, just look at what insane shit he's saying! And he takes his critics head-on in the
boxing ring. You simply can't beat that, haha. Anyway, he should lay his hands off video game-movies... or movies in general. That's just not his thing. Really.
