Uwe Boll. Oh, do you not know who he is? Let me give you a few hints:
- House of the Dead
- Alone in the Dark
- BloodRayne
- BloodRayne 2
- In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Seige Tale
Still don't know him? German director, movies hated by prettymuch everyone who sees them? No sense of taste whatsoever? Challenged internet critics to fight him in a boxing ring to end his negative criticism, and picks the smallest, scrawniest, weakest guy and kicks his ass?
Yeeeeeeeeeaaaahhhh, HIM.
So there was a poll put up recently, called "
STOP UWE BOLL," to which he responded that if it reached one million signatures, he would stop making movies altogether. Well, now it's reached over 150,000, so he decided to respond to it. Check this out.

Now say it with me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHhhhh...
I particularly loved the name-dropping, and Dr. Boll's dubbing himself a "genius" was über-classy.
FPW, I dearly hope that this isn't the German director you'd once mentioned in the Great Search for a Director (for the Repairman Jack movie).
And P.S. - His new movie,
Postal (yes, based on the video game), starring Scott Farkus from
A Christmas Story, featuring Osama Bin Laden as a main character and a scene of a passenger plane hitting the Trade Towers as a comedic moment, is set to open on May 23rd, right after
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Dr. Boll believes that
Postal will blow Indie out of the water, and that his grandfather could kick Harrison Ford's ass. Good day.
