Nope, not gonna sign that;

1. Uwe Boll is funny - sure, his movies suck but he's almost an Ed Wood.

2. Once Uwe has crapped on a movie, the movie has been made. That opens the way for Hollywood to do a decent remake of something they otherwise wouldn't have touched.

Already did, thanks for spreading the word. He said that with one million signatures he'd stop making movies.

gbollard - your reasoning is totally off!

1) Uwe Boll is an egotistical f**khead. Watch this video:

And remember how he challenged his critics to a boxing match? "You don't like me, I beat you up!"

2) Hollywood only remakes films that were at first semi-decent, and it always makes them crappier. Boll's films are all so bad that there would be no way to make them significantly worse, so there's no point in remaking them. Boll grabs the rights to video game movies and because of that BETTER filmmakers can't get them.

Another reason to hate Boll: he makes people think that video game movies can't be done, when the fact is that too many of them are directed by talentless hacks like him and Paul W.S. Anderson.

Hollywood needs guys like Uwe Boll, I watched one of his movies, the one with Christian Slater, sure it sucked but at least he isn't making movies of reality television

hear, hear....

Reality TV is bad enough to make Uwe Boll look good.

Even the best directors have to start somewhere... look at David Fincher's Alien 3.

What the hell does Reality TV have to do with Uwe Boll? Reality Movies aren't even common at all.

And David Fincher's Alien 3 was full of studio interference. Plus, it was his FIRST film. Boll has had MANY films, ALL of them turkeys, and some of them with HUGE budgets that were completely WASTED. Look at Dungeon Siege--$60 Million! But it looks exceedingly low budget.

David is obviously a faster learner than Boll. :D
