    We are still almost 800k signatures short. Guys, just sign the petition and the nightmare will be over. (In case you missed it, Uwe said he will stop if 1 Million people ask him to.)

    I sense a trend (from the Uwe Boll Wikipedia entry):

    When rumors surfaced that Boll had expressed interest in a Metal Gear Solid movie, and claimed to have been given a script to read, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima responded in his audioblog HIDECHAN, "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."

    > This generations Ed Wood?

    No, Ed Wood really loved movies, and poured his wholly incompetent heart and soul into making them. Uwe Boll finds cheap franchises and exploits them for a tax loophole. All his upcoming titles were in production before the loophole was closed. We'll see what happens when his funding dries up.
