Uwe Boll Gets His Own Film Festival

Big fan of "Bloodrayne?" What about "Alone in the Dark" or "Postal?" Do you live in LA? You have no excuse not to go to the Uwe Boll Film Festival.

Taking place today and tomorrow at the game [http://www.downtownindependent.com].

And before you say this whole thing is a big joke, Boll himself will be in attendance for the premieres of "Far Cry" and "Tunnel Rats" and will take part in Q&A sessions that are sure to be entertaining. If it's a joke, Boll must be in on it.

Tickets will run for $5 per film, $10 for premieres, $15 for a day pass or $25 for a two-day all-access pass. More information here [http://www.downtownindependent.com/events/boll-film-festival]. Christmas is coming early this year, fellows.

Don't go it's a trap!
Anyone who enters those cinemas is sure to be lawfully euthanised for the greater good of humanity.

Actually, if you like watching Boll movies, by all means go, it'll be a gas.

Do they hand out free Rotten Tomatoes at the door? If so I would definately go.

uwe boll is hated for a reason. ive never watched a whole movie of his but i have watched a few clips and thought they could fall in a ditch and die. theres actually a petition to get him to quit and it already has something like three hundred thousand signatures (cant give you a link cuz i dont know how but im sure you will find it). as ive said a few times before on this forum "no mr. boll i expect you to die".

Haven't seen Postal or Tunnel Rats yet, and I actually WANT to see those. Too bad I don't live in L.A....Actually, scratch that. $10 is too much for a ticket...

People need to stop giving Uwe Boll the rights to make movies out of video games.

Actually, I would like to see them as well. I'm just curious how his movies can enrage so many gamers and they really sound so bad it's good.

More like if they handed out molotov's so I could burn down this festival.

Why? You planning on doing something like that?

 

[varulfic]

Why do we keep on indulging this guy? Just kill him and put his head on a post as a warning to future directors.

Well i will if no one else chooses to do so, let them have fun before i do.

I wan't to watch Far Cry because it is one of the last the last films with the late and incredibly great Don S. Davies [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0204493/]. While I am glad it wasn't his last film due to its almost guaranteed level of shit, it is a shame to see him in it.

 

[PirateKing]

Hopefully everyone who pays to get in will be reimbursed when one of his films turns a profit.

Look, a lot of the dislike for this guy is warranted but how many of you have watched Postal? That movie seriously made me reform my opinion about this guy, now I think he might have actually learned something by sheer grit about making entertaining movies. By some weird happenstance or something, Postal was actually genuinely funny IMHO. Certainly better than Epic (Crap) Movie and other lack luster comedies. Other than that, the only redeeming thing I can up with about some of his other movies was a nice pair of vampire tits and other interesting bits of steady cam on stunt work.

Why god why!!!!!! Who allowed this, its against the Geneva convention.

 

[stompy]

Mr Boll, why do you suck so much?

Vell, zat is quite semple... just steep ento zis reeing here...*

Also, hurry up and see this show while you can... for the next venue is Guantanimo(sp?) Bay...

*Well, that is quite simple... just step into this (boxing) ring...

Uwe Boll only has one problem... He is a horrible director, beyond that his movies are just fine.
