From the IMDb:

Filmmaker Challenges Critics to All-Out Brawl
German horror director Uwe Boll is so fed up with receiving bad reviews from movie critics he is challenging his detractors to a filmed fight. Boll, whose movies Alone In The Dark and House Of The Dead are based on video games, says he will fly his critics to meet him and will then fight them in a boxing ring. The filmmaker is incensed by an online petition which has 13,327 signatures of people asking him to stop making movies. Boll, who has also invited Roger Avary and Quentin Tarantino to join his fight, plans to air the fights on the internet. He the plans to edit clips into his latest film Postal. Boll says, "I'm fed up with people slamming my films without seeing them. Many journalists make value judgments on my films based on the opinions of one or two thousand internet voices. Half of those opinions come from people who've never watched my films. If critics want to bring Uwe Boll down, here is their chance to physically bring him down and have the entire world watch them do it."
Seriously, does this even need a punchline?

Ha Ha.
"Punchline"
That's definately the right word. In fact, Uwe's tactics give it new meaning.

I think Lowtax from somethingawful.com is going to fight him. That should be good.

| Hell, if he'll pay the airfair, I'll fight him. If I win, I'll forever be known as The Man Who Beat Up Uwe Boll. Nice ring, I think. And if I lose... then I can recover from my wounds and go on, and he'll STILL be one of the worst directors who ever lived. |

I dunno. He is a terrible director, one of the worst ever, but I wouldn't want to punch him in the nose or anything. That just strikes me as over-reacting.

| I though the same before watching Alone in the dark. What strikes me of the idea is that he has to defend his movies through punches to the face of his critics. I guess they are not defendible in any other way. |

Well, Uwe's the one making the challenge, so who's overreacting? I wonder if this will be on pay-per-view. I could see forking over twenty buck to see that show. |

I'll take him on! I've been taking a bodypump course at the Y and am ready. I'll kick his butt! And in this corner...the PiPpInAtOr! (cue theme music: "Shut Your Mouth" by Garbage)
Actually, I'd like to smack Greg Poirier.

Oh, he's being the big jerk here, no question. I just can't imagine wanting to deck someone over Alone in the Dark.
Kill, sure, but punch in a fair fight? Not worth it.
