Lots of catching up on email today. Apparently, lots went down from the time I logged off to today. I’ll try to stick in an Iron Man review somewhere in here because it was full of so much awesome! But first, reader Tyler Anderson sent me this little news about our good friend Uwe Boll:

Uwe Boll is at it again. Posting a completely fake video claiming that Michael Bay has agreed to fight him in the boxing ring. With Boll taking a decidedly American approach to movie politics with the whole “you’ll like me or I’ll beat you up,” a moderator for Michael Bay’s forums had this to say;

“Just spoke to Mike, and it’s false. This guy is really creepy, he’s creeping me out. BTW, Michael has never spoken to him and won’t speak to him. Mike has a movie to deliver for June 2009, unlike this idiot. Boll doesn’t deserve press for his lame movie, so this is the last we talk about him in these forums. This press stunt will tank.”

Oh, and did I mention, Boll claims that this “real” fight will be taking place in Kinshasa, Zaire and that anyone who brings in ten tickets to Postal can get in for free. This guys such a fucking train wreck.

Tyler

All together now!

I don’t understand what boxing has to do with film making. Who cares if Uwe Boll can punch someone? He still can’t make a film worth watching. And who the hell is really going to buy one ticket to see Postal, let alone ten? The thing that really perplexes me is that there are people who do indeed buy tickets to his movies. I can somewhat understand actors willing to do schlocky crap for a pay check, but people paying for schlocky crap on purpose makes no sense (I say this with the full expectation that I will be wasting money on Saw V later this year so I’m probably not one to talk).

Here’s the blogger’s plight. I want to ignore Uwe Boll so that he’ll go away. If no one talks about him, no one will know that he’s making movies anymore. But every time he opens his mouth, it’s comedy gold that must be shared! As of this writing, only 233,719 have signed the petition to stop Uwe Boll so it looks like we’ll have him to kick around for a while. Thanks for the info, Tyler.
