The Last Word from Uwe Boll

After watching this comprehensive interview with reviled filmmaker Uwe Boll, I can’t imagine there’s anything more that needs to be written on the guy. Ever. Seriously. Considering he’s seen here chewing Stride Gum (which is against him — even if for marketing purposes), he addresses all the recent stories about him and shows us how much he’s able to make fun of himself, and he confesses that he would not actually quit filmmaking if the anti-Boll petition does acquire one million signatures (though he would at least stop adapting video games), it’s clear that he deserves the final word.

That said, I don’t mean to discourage him from continuing his antics. He’s now officially joined my list of filmmakers whose personalities I prefer to their films (despite never having seen a Boll film), which also includes John Waters, Kevin Smith, David Lynch and Martin Scorsese (yes, I like his personality that much and also his films that little). So, I’ll continue watching video interviews of him and reading things such as his recently published list of five favorite films, but I’m giving up following what others have to say about the guy. It all just seems so futile, doesn’t it?

Seriamente. Considerando he’s visto aquí el masticar del paso
grande engome (que es contra él — incluso si para los
propósitos de la comercialización), él trata todas las historias
recientes sobre él y nos demuestra cuánto he’s capaz de
reírse de se, y él confiesa que él no pararía realmente el
filmmaking si la petición de la contra-Ca'psula adquiere un millón
firmas (él pararía sin embargo por lo menos el adaptar de los juegos
video), it’s claramente que él merece la palabra final. Eso
