Uwe Boll Wins Lifetime Achievement Award
Everyone's favorite movie director In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0093051/].
Boll is being "honored" by the Postal [http://www.razzies.com/].
Boll's selection for the award reflects not only his skill as a movie director but also his penchant for overexcited, profane and sometimes violent responses to his critics [http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/08/you-dumb-fck-uw.html]. Putting Boll over the top, according to the Razzies website, was the 2007 "videogame-based fiasco In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, which grossed under $5 million on a $60 million budget."
Making the award particularly noteworthy is the fact that it will be the first one handed out in Jaws 4 [http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1223&PN=1]. "It's a great honor for me to get the same prize the rubber shark from Jaws got," Boll said.
But the award doesn't signify that we've seen the end of Boll and his movies; the prolific director has numerous projects on the go, including game-based movies like Zombie Massacre [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0913951/]. Despite all he's accomplished so far, the worst, no doubt, is yet to come.
