Kojima Dismisses Boll As MGS Director
Joystiq has a post which caused thousands of people to raise their eyes heavenward in thanks. Uwe Boll will never direct a Metal Gear Solid film. From the article, which relays information from Kojima's ongoing podcast series: "Host Ryan Payton delivers a message from Kojima-san dispelling recent 'nasty rumors' that Uwe Boll is being considered to direct an upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie. Says Kojima: 'Absolutely not! I don't know why Uwe Boll is even talking about this kind of thing. We've never talked to him. It's impossible that we'd ever do a movie with him.'"
Worst still, he did Alone in the Dark... look it up http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0369226/ it's a 2.2 This dumb f*ck does miserable, awful, stupid movies. I don't care what project he's not doing... so long as he's NEVER making another movie again.
Who are the idiots that give him the budget or approval to work on something in the first place?
Alone in the Dark is one experience I never wish to relive and it's 2 hours of my life I want a refund on! It wasn't even in the category of "so bad it's good". Yuck!
Anyone wishing to join me in a Class Action lawsuit against that piece of crud are welcome.
Oops, how did this get here?

That's a non-sequitur. That he doesn't want Boll to direct a MGS movie has nothing to do with art. He doesn't want Boll to direct his movie because Uwe Boll sucks.
I wouldn't be surprised, actually, if Kojima wouldn't want to direct such a movie himself. Think about it: it would be very, very easy for a know-nothing director to make a Metal Geal Solid game into some sort of crappy, Tom Clancyesque, military-celebrating, mass-market travesty.
A good Metal Gear Solid movie could never be a generic videogame movie, and that's all Boll makes.
