Title: The Stop Uwe Boll Petition
Post by: pokeplayer984 on September 09, 2009, 10:19:24 AM
Anyone who has seen a movie directed by Uwe Boll knows just how much they suck!  With how horrible they are, wouldn't it be great if he wasn't allowed to take ANY part in the making of a movie?

Sign the petition below and help make it possible. (Over 340,000 signed as of this moment.)

Seriously, he needs to be stopped.

I actually enjoyed watching House of the Dead. It is a bad movie, but it's so bad it's funny and good. I'm not sure if I want to stop him from making movies because it's his job, but I do agree he needs to get better.

No offense, but I don't see the purpose of this petition. If anything will stop Uwe Boll, it's the backfiring of his attempts at directing movies, not an online petition. And what's the big deal of him making these movies anyway? Sure they're bad, but they aren't the worst thing in the world. If you don't like them, just don't watch them. Personally, I don't feel it's right to deprive someone of their job just because they suck at it.

Unless they're my brain surgeon. :p

But honestly, I completely agree.  This petition just seems rude.  I won't be taking part in this one.

:exactly

Unless he is doin' somethin' that brings harm to others (i.e. murder, supporting racism, etc.), I have no desire to deprive somebody of their dreams.  He has just as much a right to do what he wants with his life as we do.  Just don't watch his movies if they're really that bad.

Yeah, his movies are [censored] but what he does is not our business.

If anything will drive him out of business is the fact that his movies don't turn a profit.

Ha. I love bad movies. My dormmates love to watch and criticize them. Uwe Boll's stuff is our favorite source for 21st century terrible movies. To date we've only watched two (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Outer_Space) movies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Earth_(film)) that I retroactively don't think deserved their infamous status, and neither were even remotely Boll's.
