Uwe Boll as he lost a $2.1 million arbitration over a breach of contract and libel claim by sales arm Fantastic Films International. Mr. Boll has been found by an arbitrator to have either taken deals away from FFI or to take away commissions on sold films. The judgment also gives $200,000 to FFI for damages that Mr. Boll sent emails slandering the company.

That’s right, you read the header. . . I’m DEFENDING one of the most notorious film directors on the internet. Why, you ask?

“The man directed Bloodrayne II for Christ’s sake, Rev! Have you lost your freakin’ mind!?! HE GAVE TARA REID A LEADING ROLE - AS A SCIENTIST!!! MY GOD MAN, WHAT ARE YOU (OR HIM FOR THAT MATTER) THINKING !?!?!?”

Maybe I’ve lost my mind, but that’s another discussion. Let’s stick to the facts, shall we?

Fact: Uwe may be a schlock director, but I LIKE schlock. And I’m not alone. The man delivers what a schlock cinema fan wants to see - boobs, blood, bad ass monsters. I liked ‘House of the Dead’. Let me repeat that. . . I liked ‘House of the Dead’. I’ve sat through far worse, and some of it was done by Academy Awarded (trademarked yadda yadda) people. So, with Uwe, you get what you pay for. . .or didn’t pay for, as the case may be. It’s kinda of like his own genre, take it or leave it.

Fact: His cinematography (albeit probably not really HIS cinematography but the cinematography in HIS films) is decent, his movies are action packed. You are entertained. Perhaps not as much as you’d like, but you’re entertained. Let’s face it - it’s the scripts that are usually. . . .a bit . . . .wanting. Well, I’m just being honest here. But to decry this man as such a horrible director, to have a PETITION requesting he quit making films. Aw, c’mon! That’s just lame. If we’re gonna demand people stop producing stuff just ’cause SOME folks don’t like it, - well then I would’ve willed away Emo a long time ago, trust me.

Fact: Uwe is one of the only film makers using the German tax code to finance his productions in the way it was intended i.e. to benefit the German economy. He makes ‘em, produces them and distributes them entirely through his home country. Yes, supported by the German tax law, but hey - he didn’t write the damn law. He’s a businessman, not a politician.

Fact: Sometimes Uwe has been known to threaten beating the ass of critics of his films. Ok, well - he’s an artist, and artists get defensive. And hell, some of those critics probably HAVE an asswhipping coming to ‘em anyhow, y’know? So he’s a bit melodramatic, well - the great ones generally are. Can you truly fault the guy for protecting his art?? No, God love him for caring so much!

In conclusion, a great post on this very subject can be found at Beyond Hollywood (where I also stole this picture. Thanks!). I kinda of agree with their logic & wish Mr. Boll a long and fruitful career of making sexy, blood soaked movies-that-make-no-sense-sometimes-but-you-still-like-them-because-at-least-a-hot-chick-gets-naked-and-fights-the-big-bad-demon type movies. For some of us, Uwe Boll is our spokesperson. Not necessarily a very CLEAR spokesperson, but he’s our man.

So back off, preppie boys. Lest we get mean about it. ;>

More Than Enough: The full movie of Uwe Boll’s Postal

I have heard from multiple sources — including three deities — that Uwe Boll’s latest film Postal isn’t worth the time it takes to break through the Fort Knox DVD packaging that it comes in — in you know the one, with the two little clippy things. But needless to say, I am constantly drawn to all things Boll — the man fascinates me to no end. Why? Because he continues to make movies the way he wants to make them, and people like Dave Foley (pictured above) continue to take their pants off in them. And whether or not the movies turn out to be a pile of excrement or not, that is an accomplishment that is lost on many of Hollywood’s director-types.

That said, I was obviously drawn to the following video embed, which shows off the first 11 minutes of Postal. And though it doesn’t show any of the scenes with Osama Bin Laden and George Bush skipping through a grassy meadow together, it does give us more than enough of the Boll experience for one day. Have a look for yourself below.

Will Uwe Boll Ever Be Stopped?

markwilson12 on Twitter brought my attention to a hilarious hair-raising article on Ingram 2.0: Sign here to stop Uwe Boll.

While I have found his movies to be creativity-free zones so far, I certainly don't want to keep anyone from making a living. And bad horror movies make the good ones stand out even more. Sort of like taking that long intake of air after being strangled for a minute; not that I'd know anything about that, mind you.

But if he keeps it up, I may have to reconsider my neutral position. At the end of the article is a link to the Stop Uwe Boll petition. I doubt it will help, but it can't hurt.
