I’m
sure most of you have seen this, but I had to comment. Uwe Boll, director of uniformly horrendous movies based on video games (House of the Dead, Bloodrayne, other schlock), is so tired of people telling him what a hack he is that he challenged some of his critics to a boxing match. Privately, he informed the four critics that he picked to fight him (there was no shortage of takers) that this was just a PR stunt, and that they’d receive training in any case.
Apparently, not only did they receive no training, but Uwe Boll, big pussy that he is, never provided it, insisting that it was just a PR stunt anyway. Sure, Boll didn’t need it since he’s an amateur boxer, and reportedly refused to fight any critic that had fight training. He proceeded to beat the crap out of the critics he hand-picked to lose to him, none of whom looked particularly threatening or as if they had any idea what to do in the ring. Uwe Boll: You suck and bullying around some completely untrained people (who weren’t even told it was a real match!) doesn’t change that one bit. I hope someone goes Tonya Harding on you.

I have 3 simple observations.
1) Anyone stupid enough to gets into a boxing ring w/o training deserves to be beat down.
2) Calling Lowtax a critic is calling the Jackass guys performance art: sure, it’s funny to watch, but it’s not art.
3) Anyone agreeing to do anything Uwe Boll, publicity stunt or “movie”, requires a cranial-rectotonomy.

I agree entirely with the sentiment. Except that I’d like to be in a boxing ring with Lowtax.

While Lowtax isnt exactly everyone’s favorite person, you have to give him at least a little credit for being bold (read: stupid) enough to go into a fight like that, against someone with training - whereas Uwe refused to fight anyone who might be on an even playing field with him, such as the critic who was also an amateur boxer. The one person he did fight who had some training.. was 17.

Generating that sort of medial attention is exactly what Boll does not deserve. However, apparently these things are broadcast on TV or whatever. And there will be enough stupendous adolescents going to see his Postal movie. What a sad example of German film.
