Uwe Boll To Quit Making Movies With 1M Signatures
An anonymous reader writes to mention that Uwe Boll, the infamous German director behind such video game adaptations as House of the Dead, BloodRayne, Dungeon Siege and Postal, has recently admitted that he would retire from making movies if enough people want him to stop. When FearNet mentioned to Boll a petition online signed by 18,000 people requesting that he cease making films, Boll responded that '18,000 is not enough to convince me.' So how much would be enough? 'One million,' Boll said."
That, you autistic dorks, was what normal people call a "joke".
What I'm listening to now on Pandora...
Again, these fans need to suck it up. They have no right to complain if the movie version of a video game is bad. Many of these fans have an unhealthy obsession with this issue, and need to stop. They have no right to demand that the filmmaker stop making movies. Regardless if Uwe Boll brought up or not (and in the history of him versus fanboys, he probably didn't) by signing that position people are asking that he stops making movies.
Why?
If they love their video game franchises write to the people who OWN the rights and ask them to pretty please not to sell them to any production company that uses Uwe Boll as director.
But guess what. They'll sell the rights anyway, because they don't care about the fans either. They are about the money. Filmmaking has always been about the money. The only way these sad fanboys can affect any change is voting with their dollar. It's the only vote that counts.
