Director Uwe Boll challenges critics to a brawl
New York: German horror film director Uwe Boll is so angry after receiving bad reviews that he is challenging critics to a filmed fight.
According to imdb.com, Boll has made a few movies based on video games and says he wants to fight his critics in a boxing ring. Boll is particularly upset with an online petition, which has 13,327 signatures of people requesting him to stop making movies.
Boll has invited director Quentin Tarantino to join the fight and wants to film the fight and show it on the Internet.
He says: "I'm fed up with people slamming my films without seeing them. Many journalists make value judgments on my films based on the opinions of 1,000-2,000 Internet voices. Half of those opinions come from people who've never watched my films. If critics want to bring Uwe Boll down, here is their chance to physically bring him down and have the entire world watch them do it."
Boll is a very, VERY hated man. He exploits German tax laws to turn out horrible product. If he is challenging his detractors to a fight...he could end up with a couple hundred thousand angry kids at his doorstep.
Hey at least he's acting like a man, willing to take it on the chin for the chance to give someone else the same.
