I kinda read the statement as and off the cuff one. But what if, I ponder, would he do if he were given a full million sigs.

Bricks would be shit, to be sure ~_^

yeah, if 1 million people says you suck at what you do, it's time to re-think your career

Petition is here: http://www.petitiononline.com/RRH53888/petition.html

I signed it. I was number 77,496. Almost 10% there!

I've never seen a single movie by this guy.

^And you never want to, trust us.

Reviews of his movies:

Alone In The Dark
In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale
BloodRayne - I saw this one on TV, and wanted to go Oedipus Rex on my eyes after that.
House Of The Dead: "Gives crap a bad name."

I signed it. It's already in the 79,300 range. So that means that based on the number KP provided less one hour ago, almost 2,000 more people have signed the petition. If we can continue to get signatures at this pace we should reach one million signatures in about 460 hours, or 19 days and 4 hours.

Spread the word far and wide!

TIME TO START CRANKIN' OUT THE SOCK PUPPETS, PEOPLE!!!

this reeks of *quality

uwe boll should stick to boxing.

Awarding kulpims with one star point for this contribution to Sift Talk - declared quality by my15minutes.

Uwe will only accept signatures printed on birch bark, using the ink of a Hungarian land land squid.

Lest you forget http://www.videosift.com/video/Worst-Director-Ever-beats-up-his-critics , where Uwe bravely fought off a slew of nerd challengers he hand picked so as to make sure they had very little boxing experience.

The movie business in can just stop making films based on games in general, frankly. I can't think of a good conversion that's ever been done.

They can go steal their ideas from somewhere else... or come up with their own for a change.

Emir Kusturica had a great idea about what to do with movies like Uwe Boll's classic House of the Dead - just bury them

latest update: 101.319 total signatures. come on, we can do this

I know I signed it.

But what I don't get is if he keeps loosing money on the movies, why the hell would he continue!?!?

You wanted to have incestuous sex with your eyes?

^ He tears his own eyes out after he finds out the sex was incestuous.

Quote from Uwe (taken from wikipedia): "Maybe you know it but it's not so easy to finance movies in total. And the reason I am able to do these kind of movies is I have a tax shelter fund in Germany, and if you invest in a movie in Germany you get basically fifty percent back from the Government."

Now we know why angry German kid was so angry.

I know, I was making a bad joke .

Petition signing kinda lost momentum but it's still going, right now the count is at about 176K signatures or 17.6% of the goal, so please, join in if you haven't already

I can proudly say I am number 182816. 18% ain't bad.

I think games to movie can be good, but they've got to look more at what made the game good. It seems like the problem is that they either try to use the EXACT same plot (which are normally thin) or a totally different plot (in which case the only similarities are the name) add some bad acting, cheesy lines and discard any reason you would like the game. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong.

193.283 now, losing momentum a bit

Just signed and the counter had reached just over 203k signatures.

From the petition:
"Germany gives birth to a new monster, Uwe Boll's films are so bad they make the Holocaust seem trivial by comparison, and has the potential to cause more harm. This man is a black hole on the world's economy and every person's career who works with him. There is a good chance that watching any of his films may render you sterile or give you cancer, the kicker being that the disease that you are 90% certain to get won't even have the decency to kill you before the end of the movie. I would be more than willing to sign his death warrant, but this will have to suffice for now."
