In defence of Uwe boll

That's what the internet is for. Slandering others anonymously. Stopping the flick isn't gonna stop that.” – Banky Edwards, Jay and silent Bob strikes back

The Internet has given everybody in America a voice. For some reason, everybody decides to use that voice to bitch about movies– Holden McNeil, Jay and Silent Bob strikes back

These quotes brilliantly illustrate how the internet works today. Without risk of retaliation you can take out your frustration and envy on people you see on TV. One person who has been a target for this cruel hate campaign is German director Uwe Boll. He is not particularly famous or good. He’s is one of those directors that produce ok movies for a Friday evening. He has been singled out by the slandering movie community as someone who should be shot and hanged because he chooses to do movies. It’s sad to see how immature and envious persons decide to hate one person beyond reason.

it's the fact that he earns millions even though his films flop. this is millions that could be spent of cancer resarch, foster care & helping people. Fawk Uwe Boll. i hate his guy more than anyone else in the film industry.” - Big_Hughezy, IMDB

A brilliant quote from the archives of IMDB. So a crappy movie like Revenge of the Sith that made hundred if not thousand times more money must be even worse for those who try to save the world. Atleast by this slightly immature argument. Like people would have given the bucks away to charity if they hadn’t gone to see House of the dead? I can see the discussion in my head.

So what should we do dude?

BEN
I don’t know, I have seven bucks.

MATT
I heard that Oxfam is having a fund raiser at the mall.

BEN
Well I don’t know, I promised LISA that I would take her to see Blodrayne tonight.

MATT
Yeah, like people isn’t gonna starve tomorrow. I’l go with you dude
That is a scenario happening right now... Yeah right
Hitler truely had nothing on this guy. Boll dosen't need gas chambers, he just needs a camera!– Martinshepherd, IMDB

Then what can we compare Joel Schumacher’s batman and Robin with? It’s the Oppenheimer of movies and no one threatened Joel Schumacher with a fate worse than a fate worse than dead.

I just want to show my support for Uwe Boll who has suffered because he did what we all have wet dreams about at night… making our own movies... No not those kind.
Go Uwe, go!!!

Well there doesn't need to be a reason actually. He make decent friday night movies but nothing you take your girlfriend to see.

The internet harbors a mentality that make it ok to go over the edge in hating other people. I see the tendencies everywhere I go. Suddenly it's in fashion to hate this or love that often without any concievable reason. Much like fashion or art someone decides whos hot and whos not at any given time.
