Save the World from Uwe Boll -- How You Can Help
Uwe Boll has finally revealed what it'll take for him to stop laying turds in the movie theaters of America:
The petition is here.
Ladies and Gentleman, we finally have a chance to rid the cinematic world of a cancer. Uwe Boll, the German director behind such horrid video game adaptations as House of the Dead, BloodRayne, Dungeon Siege and Postal, has recently admitted that he would retire from making movies if enough people want him to stop. When FearNet mentioned to Boll a petition online signed by 18,000 people requesting that he cease making films, Boll responded that "18,000 is not enough to convince me." So how much would be enough?
"One million,” Boll said. “Now we have a new goal."

I think this is pretty lame. His movies are pretty easy to avoid, and I guarantee he is not keeping someone else from making a better movie.
He's atleast an interesting person, and I imagine his movies are fun to laugh at. I never seen one, though. Maybe someday.

You don't really think this petition is going to do anything, do you? You cannot be that naive.
I'm sure Boll loves to see his name make news, like when he wanted to literally fight his critics, and he's playing all you signers like a fiddle.

I wish there was a "Please Uwe Boll, continue making movies" petition, I'd sign in a heartbeat.

I signed it just for the heck of it, I don't think it'll do anything one way or the other. I also would sorta hate for him to stop, just because I love seeing how extreme some people get when reviewing his flicks.
I do find it funny how quickly people are signing it though.

Yeah, but giving one of his films a bad review is kinda like shooting fish in a barrel.
But if he stops making movies, where will the careers of washed up actors go to die?
