Stop Dr. Uwe Boll
If you would like to stop Uwe Boll from making movies there's now something you can do about it. Apparently he said that if a million people will sign a petition he will retire.

"Apparently he said that if a million people will sign a petition he will retire."

I don't believe him.

He'll just make a movie (probably filmed in Eastern Europe) about a stern, Nordic-type hero (probably played by Jason Statham) up against a rampaging horde of a million angry, determined trolls.

Our suffering is endless.

I doubt it too. But I would never forgive me if I didn't at least have tried my best to stop him. ;)

I was hoping the change in German tax laws would eventually lead to his demise but that sadly doesn't seem to be the case. Either he has enough sources for funding or he's able to produce so cheaply to more or less break-even.

It's something that has developed over the years. It's not easy to explain. It is mainly that people don't like his movies

I am blissfully unaware of who he is.. Are his films SO bad????

[trailer_spot]

Yes, they are bad. The only thing debatable is how bad. :) It's something that has developed over the years. It's not easy to explain

Not only did he win all the fights, but Boll is an amateur boxer, and has been for *decades*. That's his hobby - and he specifically *disqualified* anyone with any fighting experience, anyone with any military background, and anyone who was in remotely good shape. AND he told them all that it was going to be a all-in-good-fun sparring match before he began by coming at them all-out.

That's right, he relied on the fact that he's so hated to get lots of Internet Tough Guys to sign up, he separated out anyone who might stand up to him in the slightest, he told them all all the way through that this was just a for-fun thing and they'd be playing around, and then, while facing people who didn't know what they were doing and were in lousy shape to begin with and weren't expecting it (because none of the fighters was allowed to watch any of the other fights), he then proceeded to do his best to seriously hurt them.

The dude's petty and vindictive in a way that makes me feel sorry for any girlfriends, kids, or pets.

I didn't know that he pre-selected the people who were allowed to fight him. That guy really has issues.

I already had that impression before but it obviously seems much worse than I previously thought. Thanks.

willem dafoe ist so super! aber der trailer schaut irgendwie unspannend aus. :|

wer zum teufel ist uwe boll??

[trailer_spot]

Ja, der Trailer gibt nicht besonders viel her aber es klingt trotzdem interessant. Der Film soll bereits in rund 10 Tagen in den USA anlaufen. Ich hoffe es tauchen demnächst ein paar Kritiken auf die mehr Infos bieten. Bin gespannt.

Falls die Frage nach Uwe Boll ernst gemeint ist, dann werfe einen Blick auf meine vorherigen Antworten oder schau mal hier. :)

Keinerlei Eile. Ich war nur ein wenig verunsichert ob es überhaupt ankam. Lass dir Zeit. :)

Yaaaaaay thanks for the Ice Age 3 teaser! I can't wait. Finally, some plants. :) And dinosaurs! This is going to be legen--wait for it--dary. (Sorry. That last part was a joke from How I Met Your Mother, which you should absolutely watch if you aren't already. It's one of my favourite thesis-writing distractions.)

And Uwe Boll should just go away. Stupid guy. Funny fact: Even though I have no idea what he looks like, in my head I always picture him looking like Stefan Raab. Maybe because I don't like him, either. :)

(Und übrigens nochmal danke für den motivierenden Kommentar auf meinem Blog!)

[trailer_spot]

Even though I've never seen an episode of that show in my life I'm familiar with that joke. It has become quite legen- ... wait for it ... dary here on LJ. :D I think at one point someone even linked to the corresponding YouTube clip.
Thanks for the recommendation. If I ever decide to write another thesis I will most certainly start watching. ;)

Let's say I would be even more willing to sign a petition to make Stefan Raab go away. Boll only makes movies about twice a year. Raab is on TV much more often. :)

Gern geschehen, hoffe es hilft. Mast- und Schotbruch! Oder was man so zu einer Diplomarbeitenschreiberin sagt. :)
Um was geht's eigentlich? Inhaltlich meine ich. Falls "man" darüber sprechen darf.

[pesciolina]

Hee. I didn't know it was *that* popular.

Yes. Yes, Stefan Raab should absolutely go away, please. I have hated him with a vengeance since the times of "Maschendrahtzaun". Remember? Ah, good times.

Ja, helfen tuts auf jeden Fall. Ich bin froh über jede Motivation, die ich kriege. Auch wenn ich noch in der Vorbereitungsphase (Magisterseminar) bin und nicht beim Schreiben an sich. Es wird, und das ist noch nicht genauer definiert, also sehr grob gesagt, und noch gar nicht fix, also es wird jedenfalls um die Frage nach einer Kommunikations- bzw. Medienethik der Weblogs gehen. Hoffentlich. :)

[trailer_spot]

Of course, I remember! Though, full disclosure, I thought "Wadde Hadde Dude Da" wasn't too bad. I always like things with a good horn section that I can tap my feet to. ;)

Oh! Ich meine mich erinnern zu können wie du vor langer, langer Zeit ein wenig freudig erregt gewesen bist nach dem Erhalt eines Büchleins in dem es inhaltlich ums Bloggen ging. Insofern schon damals ein Hinweis das dich der Themenkomplex interessiert. Allerdings würde ich lügen wenn ich behaupten würde zu wissen was "Kommunikations- bzw. Medienethik der Weblogs" bedeutet. Vielleicht eine kleine Ahnung, mehr aber nicht. Aber da wird ja deine Diplomarbeit Abhilfe schaffen mit einer ordentlichen Definition und Abgrenzung. :)
Wenn es denn inhaltlich dabei bleibt würde mich das Ergebnis durchaus ernsthaft interessieren. Aber ich denke du wirst uns in der einen oder anderen Form über den weiteren Fortschritt in den kommenden Wochen auf dem Laufenden halten. :)
