People really need to go out and rent "Alone in the Dark" if they think that Uwe Boll is any sort of filmmaker to be making commentary on Hollywood and the crap it makes.

Only a fucktard egomaniac would claim himself a genius.

It's part of the deal, if you're a genius, you don't have to tell people.

They will realize it by themselves.

If you self-claim the title you are a moron,or just full of Bollshit.

the man should keep his damn mouth shut and just thank his maker that he's still directing films instead of "saying Weclome to McDonalds may I take your order" somewhere in Frankfurt.

It was an intept piece of work as you can imagine - no story no acting and the special effects were god awful. Poor Ben Kingsley had the paniced look of a rat trapped in a death cage the whole film - probbaby thinking about what this would do to his carreer. And the scenes with Meat Loaf (yes Meat loaf) are as painfull as anything I have ever seen (including Manos the hands of fate)

Yes hollywood makes a lot of lousy films - and yes actors can be anoying and say stupid things - by the by John Wayne thought High Noon was a communist picture and said so in the press. But Boll is a special case - he's like Ed Wood's evil twin - inept and hateful.

I've never seen any of his movies, but I admire anyone that can abuse German tax credits to give the world the bad video game movies it needs.

I've never seen this guy's stuff, but he sure says a lot of shit that's totally true, especially about that asshole Michael Bay, and the so-called "social criticism" of movie star shitheads like George Clooney.

With people like Bay and Clooney considered the creme of Hollywood, a braying jackass begins to look a lot like a genius.

For the last couple of years I've kept hearing about how bad Uwe Boll is supposed to be. Now, I admit that I've only seen "In the Name of the King," and it is admittedly derivative and cliched a lot of the time, but it was nowhere near as awful as the word of mouth would have it. I'm not saying it was good, but it wasn't awful.

I think Boll is correct in his assertion that Hollywood does release films that are as worse or more all the time. For instance, I thought the Fantastic Four/Silver Surfer movie was easily on the same level of blehhh as "In the Name of the King," what with it's reinvention of Galactus as a giant space cloud, or whatever it was supposed to be. Blehhh.

My attitude to Boll is this: if he has the resourcefulness to go out and raise the money, hire the technical people, gather everyone in one spot, deal with the million and one things that can go wrong on a set, shoot the film, see it through post-production and secure a distribution deal in a marketplace that is increasingly monolithically designed to keep people like Uwe Boll out of the marketplace, then he doesn't need any advice from all the millions of fanboys complaining that his movies aren't nearly as good as the ones they would make if they ever got off their ass and decided to make a movie. Oh, no. Their movie would be much better, almost automatically. Yeah, whatever.
