The topic is just a bit of a joke, Kairu, but I appreciate your defence of the director.
I'll put my two cents on Uwe Boll in now, in this opportunity:
Nice guy, spoke to me, let me do an interview for HooplaNet.
Absolutely loved POSTAL and Alone in the Dark. POSTAL being one of my favourite comedies, Alone in the Dark being a flawed but really fun flick.
Thought Bloodrayne and Bloodrayne 2 were pretty good fun but very flawed.
In two minds about In the Name of the King - great battles but very korny.
Hated House of the Dead.
SEED and Tunnel Rats were both amazing movies (Though I don't think I could stomach SEED a second time).
Not biased - I had seen and made my mind up about most of these movies before I spoke to him.
So yeah, I'm fond of Uwe, as a person and as a director - he does have a certain Ed Wood-ish-ness to him in some films, but also he has made some good stuff too and whatever he does it usually turns out interesting and quite cocky. Anybody talking about how Silent Hill would have Matrix camera movements and spin kicks and things have clearly only seen House of the Dead and haven't had a look at his horror flick SEED or the atmosphere of Tunnel Rats.
Oh and "He keeps making nothing at the box office but he keeps making them, why?" is a very American Hollywood kinda thing... Uwe's movies perform poorly at the box office and then break even and generate a large profit on DVD sales, which is a little more common here in Europe.
But, no, this topic is just for a bit of fun really dude, so no need to take it to heart.
