According to a recent article (www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=62899) the disasterful director's ego seems to grow bigger with each passing moment.  Uwe Boll's now attempting to make even more justifications for the failure of his films.  With each disasterpiece he puts out, he has an entirely different excuse:  "The games were nobrainers that had no substance whatsover (House of the Dead)."  "Tara Reid's horrid performance is what destroyed the entire film (Alone in the Dark)."  "The viewers are idiots who don't know a great movie when they see one (Bloodrayne)."

Which brings me to this question.  "Since when has Uwe Boll ever put out a great film?"  He claims that his films get progressively better, when infact each of them are horrid on an entirely different level.  Boll blames everyone for the failure of his films but himself (& I won't even bother quoting some of his lame attempts at excuses).  Has it ever hit him that he's just not a good director?  He just can't seem to fathom the fact that people have grown weary of his tired attempts at which he lables as "Movies which live true to the videogame franchises."

BTW, what kind of lowlife compares themselves to Paul W.S. Anderson & Stephen Speilberg?  Not that I have anything against either two of those directors, but someone (Uwe Boll) comparing themselves to another is never a good sign.  This usually means that the director comparing themselves doesn't have their own style.  If I wanted an Anderson or Speilberg film, I'd watch an Anderson or Speilberg film.  I could care less about some gimmicky clone done by a novice director.

Boll flip-flops so much, it isn't even funny.  One moment he says his films are aimed towards the fans of franchises & that the fans will be satisfied.  Then next, he claims that his films are made to appeal to a wider audience aside from the gamers (only to discover that even nongamers hate his films with a passion as much as the gamers). Next, that his films contain sexuality that should appeal to everyone.  Is Boll's real life name either Jack Thomson or John Kerry? 

Despite what anyone may think or say, "Bad videogame adaptated films CAN hurt franchises." They can kill off any would-be fans chance at wanting to embrace the franchise.  I'm sorry, but Boll's film based on Alone in the Dark (the series which inspired & spawned off such survival horror franchises as; Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, Siren, etc.) did the series absolutey no justice whatsoever, but yet harm.

What's even worse is that Boll goes onto rampages debunking such films as Doom & Halo (when infact Boll tried to approve the rights for the Halo film & Bungie declined). For someone who has yet to deliver a film even a mediocre level, who is he to determine a good film from a bad film (much less bash another director's take on a videogame film)?

Fact of the matter is that Uwe Boll is a poison infection in gaming.  A virus.  Videogames were created by gamers for gamers.  When a director attempts to convert a game to the big screen, not only are they making a film to appeal to the gamer demographic but also the nongamer as well.  I feel this is a reason why gamers have grown fond of forgiving such directors as; James Yukich (Double Dragon), Steven E.de Souza (Street Fighter), and John R. Leonetti (MK:A).  After each of their ill-faded attempts on bringing videogames to the big-screen, they all moved on, which hasn't yet hit Boll. He's like the Energizer Bunny & keeps going & going, & doesn't know when to stop (due to his constant abuse of the German Tax law, which has recently been altered).  Even with rejection, Boll still believes that he's God's gift to gaming:

-Hideo Kojima (Konami/MGS creater) said that it was impossible that he'd ever do a movie with Boll.

-Gabe Newell (Valve Pres/CEO) laughed immensely at the thought of Boll even considering wanting to do a Half-life film & assured fans that they'd have nothing to worry about, as Boll would never get his hands the filming license. 

-Bungie declined Boll's offer to buy the rights for the Halo film.  Stating that they would only sell off the rights to a director whom has a love for the art of gaming in itself. 

Fact of the matter is that Uwe Boll isn't a gamer (even if he may claim to be in his interviews).  If he was, he wouldn't be constantly shattering so many franchises (with potential) this badly, simply to earn a quick buck. I just hope that the recent news off at  www.bollbashers.com  that Boll has indeed ceased plans on doing a Fear Effect movie adaptation hold out to be true.  I thank you all for reading.
