On The Daily Show, Lewis Black once said to Quentin Tarantino, "Look. I love your movies. ...STOP. TALKING."
In that regard, I consider Uwe Boll the Anti-Tarantino: his movies are dreadful, but I never want him to stop talking, like when he's calling Michael Bay a "fucking retard".
Not that I'm all that fond of Tarantino's films either. At least Quentin doesn't open his horror films with a monologue about which characters are going to die.

Actually they were a bunch of people on IMDB and some forums that complained about his movies repeatedly. They were told that they were going to get some training, but it kept getting "postponed" right up until the match. He really smacked around everybody... except the one guy that had martial arts training (IIRC he stopped the match early on that one).Calobi post=18.70393.690063 said:
You forgot 'I don't want him dead, but I want him incapable of making any more films' in the poll categories.
Seriously, you didn't make any jokes about a Boll Poll? This is the Escapist you know.KSI Hellboy said:
Graham Stark had that very experience http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/330/An-Interview-with-Uwe-Boll . His introduction: "It may not change your mind about his films, but hopefully it'll change your mind about him. It did for me."Jamash said:
I've only seen one of his films (at the time of this post), and that was Seed. I may not have liked it, but not because it's a bad film; it's at least as competent a horror movie as anything out there today, like the Saw series or any of Zombie's films. My only real reason for not liking it is that I just prefer suspense to gore.
I think his only real fault as a director is some slightly iffy casting: like Tara Reid in Alone in the Dark or Ray Liotta in In the Name of the King (I mean, I haven't even seen Dungeon Siege, and I'm already not looking forward to seeing Ray Liotta try to be a menacing wizard; I can't even take that guy seriously, let alone find him menacing).
In any case, I certainly agree with a lot of his sentiments about the current state of the film industry (Hell, actually I think I agree with all of them), and his response to criticism is not without merit; for his boxing matches, it was revealed that half of the people he fought hadn't actually seen his movies (yet were harshly criticizing him).
He's the reigning champion of "Sobaditsgood Cinema", so I adore him.
Twenty years after he dies, Tim Burton should do a biopic of him, preferably staring Johnny Depp
