The Serious Side of Uwe Boll

[Ure "Vader" Paul]

06:26 am EST @ May 27th, 2008

Filed under: UWE BOLL

This may be hard to believe, but here's a serious and normal interview featuring Uwe Boll (thanks, Kotaku). Want to learn more about the man himself? Now's your chance. So, no insults, no threats, no boxing match challenges; just a nice, casual talk with Uwe (he actually makes some good points - it's a shame his movies still suck):

	Reply Too bad he doesn't go by his own suggestions... Good interview.

	Paul	[mail] May 27 2008, 07:00 am EDT
	Reply I also recommend interview on Gametrailers, in Bonus Round...he aint that stupid, its just that he unfortunately doesnt know how to make a good movie..but maybe he'll get there. This interview gets additional points for taking place in Vancouver..damn I want to get back there.

	Reply The Creative Screenwriting Magazine did a one and a half hour interview with him last week, I recommend checking it out.

	Reply Its a damn shame what happened to postal; I dont think its coming to Australia at all thanks to the US boycott... I was actually looking forward to seeing it. The only english .torrent for this one seems to be with the directors commentary dubbed over, so I guess Ill wait for the DVD. I think that like this interview suggests, you have to take his movies for what they are, you should go to see them with high expectations and end up disappointed that they didnt have 100 million dollar production values and 3 directors, I think its quite possible to enjoy a B-movie for what it is, or even go to a movie that you know is going to suck but in a way that you can be entertained by.

	Reply I watched it all and liked it. But the simple fact is his movies are boring. I don't mean bad, I'm not expecting high theatre here. They're just boring. I have never seen an Uwe Boll movie that I could sit through, and I have quite a bit of patience compared to the average viewer.

	Reply lol after watching this I feel sorry for Uwe. In a way all his childish behaviour is born of a frustration shared by me. When people give you shit over the internet it fucking pisses you off because the 100% truth is a lot of people become big brave heroes over the net but in person are far quieter. I can see where his boxing challenges come from. Still doesn't take from the fact that his movies are crap though, sorry Uwe but they stink.

	Reply Good interview. Truly improved my opinion of him, but I haven't seen a film by him so far. I will check out Postal, though, I think. (Mostly thanks to this interview)

	Amok	[mail] May 27 2008, 12:48 pm EDT
	Reply Right. It had to make an effort to watch the whole thing. Uwe makes sense but his speech is hard to comprehend; his accent doesn't do anything to help, either. Maybe it's because I'm not used to listening english enough, but I'd say he doesn't get thru to his staff/cast too well and that that's one of the reasons his movies aren't good.

	gekido	[mail] May 27 2008, 01:05 am EDT
	Reply >>Uwe makes sense but his speech is hard to comprehend; what's so hard to comprehend about his accent? sorry not everyone in the planet has a perfect yankie accent for you to listen to - get out a bit and talk to people around the world perhaps. Most germans I have met speak better english than americans. You ever listen to american's fro mthe south talk? it's not even ENGLISH 3/4 of the time ;P interview-wise though it's very good. He makes quite a few excellent points about the film industry in general and the state of disgrace that is the mass market box office. Good for him and all the power to him. He's making money, his investors are obviously happy enough since he continues to get funding for projects. It's funny, someday he will probably be considered in the ranks of directors like Ed Wood.

	IcedEarth	[mail] May 27 2008, 03:23 am EDT
	Reply Yeah, because you know, English is the only language that gets changed/bastardized. People who speak any other language always speak it perfectly and never use any slang. Right. Take off, you freakin' hosers!

	The_Reverend76	[mail] May 27 2008, 09:07 am EDT
	Reply Good interview, but (I hate to say it) Uwe brings up a good point. Hostel and Saw 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 whatever show a shitload of gore. In Postal, I'm assuming a kid gets shot. So what is the difference between Postal and the nightly news? And if I remeber correctly, Mr. George Lucas had a ton of kids get slaughtered by Anakin in SW3. The only differece there is the actual act isn't shown. Just the before and after scenes.

	Cheddar	[mail] May 28 2008, 07:03 am EDT
	Reply To me, all this interview truly reveals is that Uwe's usual bad behavior is all the more condemnable, because now we see that he doesn't have to act that way... but he chooses to anyway. Also, he still didn't demonstrate any sort of capacity for objective self-analysis when it comes to evaluating himself as a director, and as long as he continues to lack that quality, he will forever be a shitty movie creator. Regardless of whether or not he means well, he still has to actually admit his shortcomings to himself before he can go about correcting them.

	tommo	[mail] May 28 2008, 09:00 am EDT
	Reply The guy is quite likeable. If he continues to act like this, i dont care what hes done before; ill be happy to support him. Its pretty logical really; people dont like those who act like dicks because those who act like dicks have internal issues that come across through their anti-social behaviour.

Regarding Mass Effect 2:
	A captivating and incredibly immersive sci-fi tale, would recommend it to anyone.
	Good, but not too big an improvement over the original.
	The best I could say about this game is "meh."
	I miss the RPG stuff! Christ, BioWare, what were you thinking? This is awful!
