The embedded video is just hilarious although NSFW due to language.

Also, from the original report is this gem of a quote:

Quote
"You go for it, to please the game fans, but on the other hand if you have the hard core gamers, they live in their own world. And you cannot fulfill their ideas from a video game based movie, it’s impossible,” Boll recently told MTV News. “And to be honest, the real gamers are the typical download guys, right? They don’t pay anything for movies, because they illegally download the movies. So why I should please these guys? I need the normal audience."

Way to talk up your core audience...

He has a core audience? I'm shocked by the very idea.

Besides his lack of talent, his obvious contempt for the games and the people who play them would gurantee his stuff is epic fail. It makes me question why he is licensing games at all unless he just can't come up with his own ideas.

"We live in a country, where John Lennon takes six bullets in the chest, Yoko Ono was standing right next to him and not one fucking bullet! Explain that to me! Explain that to me, God! Explain it to me, God!" - Denis Leary summing up my feelings about the nature of the universe.

It's a shame, really. I'd pay to watch a Uwe "Raging" Boll WoW flick. I'm gonna pay to see Postal when it gets released and I'm also going to sign the Pro-Boll petition. If he stops making movies, I won't have stuff like that rant to laugh at.

edit:


I used to loathe this guy, but his career is so bizarre. Just can't turn my head away any longer and seeing that interview reminds me of the "John Romero's about to make you his bitch..." ads.

If Paul Sams said anywhere near approximating Boll's paraphrase of:

Quote
'We will not sell the movie rights, not to you… especially not to you.’

... I'm buying that guy a case of Guiness from England and hand-carrying it to his office. Total win.

What's the betting he's also written to Gabe Newell asking if he can buy the rights to do a Half-life movie?
