We all know who Uwe Boll is. He's a German director, famous for all the wrong reasons. He is without a doubt one of the worst directors of all time, and what's worse, he keeps getting work. Some of his (if they can even be called) "films", are based from famous video game titles, such as Dungeon Siege, House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark. He also has several other video game to movie titles in the works, namely FarCry and Postal.
Let's have a look at Uwe Boll's imdb page. He hasn't actually done that many movies. Some of the movies sound pretty good, such as Angels Don't Sleep Here or Blackwoods. However, if you start to look at each movie, a trend is apparent; not one of his films have scored above a 5.
So why do video game developers such as Sega (House of the Dead) give Uwe Boll the rights to make movies based on their games, when Uwe Boll is renowned as such a terrible director? From what I can see, there are two definitive answers to this. The first could simply be that they have not heard of Uwe Boll before, or seen any of the atrocities that he has created. The most probable reason is this, however; it's a rare occasion when a director or other important film-related person approaches a game company asking for the rights to create a movie based off one of their titles. Therefore, the game company usually accepts the offer. Why? For the money. It's as simple as. Like any good business, if there's a chance to make a couple more pounds/dollars, whatever, then the opportunity is going to be snatched up right away.
But anyway, enough about the actual films, back onto Uwe Boll.
From I have heard, he isn't a man with high regards toward other people. He has been known to challenge some of his critics to a 10-round boxing match each(all which will aparentally be shown in Postal), and has also done spoofs of 9/11. This is without a doubt one of the worst things he's ever done.
In a clip of Postal, a window cleaner can be seen doing what he does best; cleaning windows. In the background we can clearly see one of the Twin Towers. The window cleaner then turns round to see a plane crashing into him and the building which he is hanging from. This is not only an insult to the people who died in that accident, but also to the family of the people who died, and, going deeper than that, the soldiers who have died going into Afghanistan BECAUSE of that day, and so on and so forth. It's immoral, unethical and above all just plain tw*tty. And it's for this reason why I believe Uwe Boll should not be allowed to be involved in the creation in anymore movies.
He is obviously far too irresponsible, as can be shown by his ignorance when it comes to material that WILL offend people (See above), and is also too childlike to accept the fact that he is indeed a terrble director, as can be shown by his boxing challenges to his critics.
So my message to Uwe Boll: I am a critic of you. I think you're a washed up director who also has no talent and no creativity. Whatever caused the idea for you to become a director needs to be forgotten. Also, I know for fact you're gonna rape FarCry. And for that reason, I hate, nay, DESPISE you even further. I won't die happy until you officially stop creating movies. Really, just stop. Do mankind a favor.

Sorry for the rant at the end. I am aware that he probably won't read this, but hey, you never know. You may see me having a boxing match with him in his future film, Paperboy: The Sidewalk of Doom.
