Uwe Boll blames games for making his movies bad!

Gothic Girl | January 25, 2008 | News | Misc 
It's official: Uwe Boll is a jerk.

In a recent interview on Red Eye, Uwe Boll has set the record straight as to why his movies don't do well in the box-office: He doesn't think it's his fault, games just have no story.

He even struck out at internet critics who don't like his movies, claiming that they "don't have a life" and "sit at their Mummy's table every lunch".
No Uwe, it's not the critics fault your movies suck, nor is it the game's fault. Guess who's fault it really is?
In a recent interview broadcast on Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld, by Fox News, Uwe Boll was asked how he dealt with gamers who complain about his (absolute shite excuse for) movies. His answer?
quote
“A lot of video games have no story. I did the movie House of the Dead and got bashed and I said, what were you expecting, Schindler’s List? I showed zombies chasing people and this is basically what the movie delivers.

“I don’t know what they were expecting if you make a movie based on an ego shooter where you kill ninety minutes of people non-stop.”


In reply to Internet critics he went onto say,
quote
“They don’t have their own life and they’re still sitting at Mommy’s table every lunch”.



Well I put this to you Mr Boll, House of the Dead the arcade game delivered a better and more compelling storyline than your straight to DVD peace of shit excuse for a movie adaptation. Hell, I’ve seen porn with better scripts than your movies.

I think it’s about time you gave up ruining the image of video games, you’re a failure as a film director. But cheer up, put away your fisher-price camera because I think I can hear your mummy calling, your lunch is ready… It’s alphabetti spaghetti!

    Exactly. He's using rationalization in a sense...blaming other things for what he can't do.

    Godamnit, Boll, you dipshit...

    He's trying to defend his HotD movie. A summary:

    Teenagers. Isolated (shitty made) setting. Undead pirates (just wtf). Swordfighting. Horrible camera angles. Bad John Woo rip-off'ing.

    Hell, the DVD/TV sequel beat the shit out of his own movie, I feel sorry for the director that had to clean Boll's HotD mess.

    The best he's ever gonna get is probably BloodRayne (and that's not saying much), and only cause his cast had a few good actors (especially Ben Kingsley) that looked like they were fooled into being in the flick, not to mention pretty much just flash Kristianna Loken's "assets" all over the damn movie.

    I used to feel somewhat sorry for this guy, but clearly he's just an ignorant, talentless hack. Please, someone tell me, how does he keep getting these video game movie scripts?

    I can agree that some games don't have much of a plot....But this guy is just trying to regain some of his dignity, too bad he does it in such a way, he basically just shows what a dumbass crybaby he really is, which in turn makes him lose what little respect (more like 'pity') he might have had left >_>

    Pity he was such a poor sport about it...before he was just a bad director...now he is a arsehole, bad director >_>

    Maybe he should consider that it's not the videogames that are making his movies bad, and realize that he is just bad. <__>

    alot of games dont have great stories, true, but its the gameplay and how fun they are to play that make them good. im afraid none of his movies have anything good about them, and thats all his fault.

    xD What a fag. In 20 years gaming will be the main media outlet and movies will be dead.
