Bay/Roth hit back

Let the circus continue! I suppose it’s Uwe Boll week here at JoBlo.com, and why not? The man is an endless well of entertainment, and we’re not talking about his films. Come to think of it, him making a mockery out of cinema is almost worth it when sideshows like this are produced from it. Earlier today you saw the video Boll made defending himself against an online petition (and if you haven't, please do), by asking his three fans to make a petition supporting him, and by inexplicably trashing Michael Bay, Eli Roth and George Clooney. Well now Roth and Bay have responded to Boll’s maniacal rant. Roth called Boll’s comments “the greatest compliment ever," while Bay wrote this on his official message board:

“I find people who rant like that - calling shit about both me, and George Clooney - comes from someone screaming because he is not being heard. He is obviously a sad being. When you ask ‘do I care?’ Not in the slightest.”

Michael Bay himself has been somewhat of a punching bag for film fan’s but there’s no question the man has talented. And when put next to Boll, the man is Fellini.

Roth blows!
Boll sucks, but Roth is almost as bad! Cabin Fever was the biggest piece of shit, Hostel was pretty cool, but the second one was worse than any Boll film. Clooney and Bay are gods!

Ready for a sterotype? Most Germans are hardheaded. This guy is German, most likely of the large percentage that are hardheaded, as well as being stupid and a complete jerkoff. That being said and coupled with DRETHEDOG and PORKCHOPEXPRESS'S info, he's going to continue processing fecal matter into film for quite some time despite the utter nausea 99.9% most moviegoers get at the mere mention...

If you read his Wikipedia page it says that he is able to make these movies because he gets German investors and appearently there is some German thing that says if a movie is made by a German in Germany it can be 100% written off in Taxes therefore any money made is 100% profit. We need to blame Germany for Uwe's crap!

Michael Bay is a good director, the only problem with him is that he has shitty writers, except for Pearl Harbor, which is one of my favorite films.





- And his..directing.

SO ...
... George Clooney had nothing to say? Probably because he's the smartest and doesn't need to reply to Boll's statements. When someone says his movies suck, he probably looks at that golden statue and says :"Yeah , right". Now, that's a feeling ;)

I wish I could say that Boll's comments were just a part of his insulting sense of humor...but this is THE Uwe Boll we're talking about. The man is a heartless lil' f**kbag who destroys the dreams of millions of gaming fans by adapting Alone In The Dark and House Of The Dead and turning them into, well, Uwe Boll movies. There's no other way to sum it up as to how bad these flicks are. Plus, I think Bay's right when he says Boll just needs that lil' bit of attention. It's not easy when you have a petition against you. He had it coming anyway. So with all due disrespect to Mr.Boll...go f**k yourself you crazy piece of s**t!

I hope Uwe Boll dies (film wise not actual death). Now if he compared himself, to those two assholes who brought use Meet the Spartans than I think we can all agree on that point. Stop feeding fire people, it's what he wants!!!



I will never forgive him for destroying my favorite games in to his movies, House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark.



As for Postal, it will be the last Uwe Boll film I will see, but it will have to be DVD, not in theaters.

" He hides behind this facade that he isn't interested in " George Clooney political bullshit " as he puts it but in reality he isn't capable of directing the flow of his own piss stream. Why he gets funding for these godawful tumours he calls movies is anyone's guess . One million signatures or not he won't stop commiting horrible crimes to cinema so the real people to blame are the people who pay to see his shit and the idiots who give him money to make it. Shame on any respectable actor who wants their resume stained forever for appearing in any bullshit movie he chooses to vomit up next



That is all

... to what I will do with my money in the future. Bay will get some guaranteed. Boll on the other hand will never get another penny. For the rest of my life. Unless he starts directing lesbian XXX porno, and probably even then because I think he could manage to fuck that up.

Not to call Michael Bay a hypocrit, but didn't he lash out a movie-goers in general with an open letter in the New York Times, when his "Island" flopped?

Uwe Boll should affiliate himself to Michael Bay, since both of them are the only geniuses in the business, apparently...

I just have to say though "Michael Bay himself has been somewhat of a punching bag for film fan’s but there’s no question the man has talented." JoBlo writers, please proof-read, this happens too often and its just a bit distracting. Michael Bay has TALENT, not "has talented"{.

Sure, Boll thinks this whole thing is hilarious, but he's really slapping the face of every aspiring director out there who's trying to make it in the industry. How can there be any hope when you have a douchebag like Boll saying "ha, ha" to everyone as he makes terrible films for millions of dollars that nobody sees?

Michael Bay makes some visually impressive -- and more importantly, lucrative -- films and he is actually a very talented artist. Boll's only talent is pissing people off without feeling any remorse for it.

by having any one pay attention.

Im sure what will happen next is a reveal by Oprah that Uwe is in fact the long lost brother of Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg. Im mean, the way its going, its bound to be the truth.

I'm not afraid to admit that I hated Hostel. For various reasons, I didn't like it, and thus, I never saw the sequel. THAT SAID, I tend to like Eli Roth as a person. Sure, I think he might have something a little wrong with him to make those movies, but who doesn't! He seems like a nice guy and he actually does have some talent, so I'm still eagerly awaiting Cell.

Now if I disliked Hostel....Words cannot begin to describe how I feel about Boll's films, and yes, I have seen a few (on TV, I didn't pay for it!). But the problem with Boll is, he makes a dick of himself in the media as well. So yeah, if he just made some slightly poor films , and people started petitioning him, I'd feel bad, but he kinda brought this upon himself. In MY opinion anyway.

Fuck Uwe.
I'm glad to hear MIchael Bay respond. Uwe Boll is a horrible filmmaker who, by some fluke, has several movies, and because of this he thinks he can run his mouth, and spout horrible shit about people when confronted with his own shortcomings. It is ridiculous.



That petition NEEDS to finish Uwe off. And Ben? I hope that Extra Tidbit up there was pure sarcasm.

Uwe Boll churns out pieces of shit continuously, and I can't stand it anymore. I wouldn't mind the guy if he wasn't such an arrogant prick.. and even if he's joking I still think its a slap in the face to any of the guys he mentions. He's far from professional... he is pretty entertaining though, and without him I'd be a little upset.

I got to say, while I have seen only a few Bay films that I like....as well as a few Roth films I like, I have NEVER seen one single Boll film I like. I would have to say, as bad as they are, Bay and Roth are far better than Boll.



On a side note, this freak out that Uwe Boll is having is funny as hell.

I suggest a fight to the death between Bay, Boll, & Roth with George Clooney as special referee. Whoever Wins, We Still Lose.
