Uwe Boll Strikes Back!

[TentakelTommy]

Sorry, eben erst bei der Titanic gesehen - aber dieser Trailer ist sowas von grandios!
Hätte nicht gedacht, daß Boll mich mal so faszinieren kann

[DasJan]

Mein Kollege hat ihn am Mittwoch in der Sneak gesehen. Er meint: Er hätte an zwei Stellen schmunzeln müssen, wenn er nicht so unglaublich schlecht gewesen wäre. Und der Nazigold-Witz, den Boll in fast jedem Interview macht, ist wohl auch drin.

Ich glaube, ich muss den Film sehen.

Ich oute mich hier gerne nochmal als Boll Fan. Ich mag den Kerl. Durchgeknallt, die Welt gegen ihn, und er macht trotzdem was er will. Bei AITD hab ich zwar massiv gelitten, HOTD und Bloodrayne machten mir aber irgendwie Spaß.

Bin gespannt, was bei der Gerichtsverhandlung zwischen New York Post und New York Postal rauskommt.


Übrigens mal ne IMHO wirklich ganz gelungene Diskussion mit Boll (auch wenn er nix neues sagt (immerhin übersetzt er Rente mit "rent" *g*):

Hätte nicht vermutet, dass Boll mit Postal zum Rundumschlag gegen die Missstände dieser Welt ausholen will, dachte eher an reinen Stumpfsinn. Aber in der Diskussion kommt er gar nicht so prollig rüber, wie in manch anderer Situation. Und die Anfangsszene von Postal finde ich sogar recht lustig.

Objektiv betrachtet dreht Boll wahrscheinlich nicht die schlechtesten Filme dieser Erde. Sicher, AITD war grausam aber ich habe schon schlimmeres gesehen.
Er hat einfach das Pech, dass es Kritiker und Cineasten als sportliche Herausforderung betrachten, seine Filme unterzubewerten und sein Ruf als Filmemacher ziemlich ramponiert ist.
Daran ist er aber nicht ganz unschuldig.

Boll über Til Schweiger:

He´s a really, really good actor and can play <nuschel> Bruce Willis character.

Scheinbar gibts jetzt sogar ne Zusammenarbeit mit Comedy Central / South Park. Ich hoffe ja immer noch auf eine Uwe Boll Folge von Matt und Trey. Die muss einfach kommen:

Uwe Boll, one of the favorite targets of movie going gamers, has been sued by the New York Post. Bolls tells GameDaily BIZ that the newspaper is trying to scare theater owners out of showing the movie Postal (based on the video game). He says his movie makes an "important political point."

The New York Post has sued controversial movie director Uwe Boll over his upcoming, October 12 Postal movie, as well as the U.S. distributor of the film, Freestyle Releasing. The Post has taken issue with Boll's movie Web site, The New York Postal, as well as the film itself, which Boll said no one from the paper has even seen.

"The New York Post has included Freestyle Releasing in the suit only because it gives them a U.S. address," said Boll. "I expect the judge to throw that part of the suit out, because Freestyle has nothing to do with the Web site or the marketing of Postal. They just book the theaters. If they want to sue me, they need to serve me in Germany."

Boll said the movie will open nationwide on October 12 in 500 to 1,000 screens, as planned. He said the New York Post is trying to scare theater owners out of showing the movie.

"They don't want this movie to come out," said Boll. "The MPAA understood the parody aspect of this film and we received an R rating. If they didn't get the satire in this movie, we would have likely received an NC-17."

While the short opening sequence that involves the 9/11 hijackers crashing into the World Trade Center will remain in the film, Boll has cut six minutes from the movie, including a brief television news report in the background of one scene that mentioned an upcoming story involving World Trade Center victims deserving what they got. Boll said this was not funny and it has been removed from the final cut.

Boll said he was actually laughing at the lawsuit because there's a picture of the Postal movie's satire site and the real New York Post site side-by-side and the headlines in the real paper are just as outrageous as the ones Boll's team came up with to parody.

"Parody is allowed in the U.S., just watch Mad TV or Comedy Central," said Boll. "The fact that a newspaper is trying to ban the release of a movie is ridiculous. If nothing else, this lawsuit shows that my movie makes an important political point that we can piss off the New York Post."

Boll said Comedy Central has recently approached him and they would like a South Park segment to play in the TV in the background of one of Postal's scenes.

"Comedy Central is very interested in helping us promote this movie," said Boll. "We're trying to get South Park into the movie and we'll also be promoting the film on the network and during South Park episodes."

Boll said he recently screened Postal in Orange County and the audience reaction was either extremely positive or terrible. He said those that liked the movie marked it extremely high and others hated it.

"If everyone laughed at this movie I would fail," said Boll. "I wanted to go over the edge with this movie. I want people to question what's allowed in movies today. Some people really get the parody, others don't."

Postal, which is based on the game franchise by developer Running with Scissors, stars Dave Foley, Zack Ward, Michael Pare and Boll, who plays himself. The film was recently promoted at Comic-Con and has been screened at the Fangoria Film Festival in New York and at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal.

Das ist wirklich ein sehr gelungenes Interview:

Wie gesagt: Ich mag Boll.

Also ich find ihn total witzig.

[basti007]

Ich auch.

Muahahahahahaha: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7rgfBx5OOA

Hab ich schon mal gesagt, dass ich Uwe Boll irgendwie mag?

[basti007]

POSTAL is R RATED . The MPAA understood the satire -- you not -- you dumb fuck (Click it! Read it! Don't believe it!)

UB: And whatever I say, you have to print it how it is, and correct the spelling.

WN: And correct the spelling? Yeah. Well, there's no spelling on the phone. So, it's okay.

As an Englishman who has actually BEEN to Germany I can attest that Germans have a good sense of humour and can be extremely witty. I'm therefore guessing that Uwe Boll is secretly from Austria.

Der Kommentar ist einfach nur geil

[Eric]

Waaaaahnsinn !!!!!! Das ist sicher der lustigste Thread in diesem Forum ! =D>

[subbitus]

Aber doch sicher nicht, weil du glaubst, wir würden uns über Boll lustig machen. Im Gegenteil - wir lieben ihn doch alle.

Uwe Boll ist ein ernsthafter und seriöser Filmemacher. Ich liebe jedes seiner Werke, auch wenn ich nur die Trailer gesehen und Kritiken gelesen habe (ich denke, das gibt das beste Zeit/Unterhaltungsverhältnis )
Ich schätze ihn jedoch sehr und wäre ich Produzent, wäre er meine erste Wahl für die Verfilmung des Lebens von Mutter Theresia.

Uwe rules !
