how do you pronounce Uwe Boll's name? I just assumed it was "You Bowl", but that would make "an Uwe Boll film" (as the cover art states) a little awkward to say. is it "Ooh Bowl", then?

I followed the link above over to rottentomatoes and saw there was one positive review, so I looked up the reviewer and saw the following grades and quotes:

Fresh:

Alone in the Dark
Catwoman
Alien Vs. Predator
Van Helsing
Matrix Revolutions

Rotten:

LOTR: ROTK
Quote - "Is a seriously flawed piece of work that is missing that certain element called "believability."

Kill Bill Vol. 2
Quote - "Kill Bill: Volume 2" commits the ultimate crime of being boring. What could have been one of the best action films of all time turns into a mediocre, frustrating film."

Master & Commander
Quote - "Master and Commander" is stylishly made, well acted, but it commits the ultimate sin of being "blah." There's a whole lot of "Swash" but very little "Buckling."

If everyone online who hates Uwe Boll buys this DVD just to make fun of it, the studios may greenlight a sequel.

I agree. The good Dr. Boll has provided me with so many laughs, that I hope he never stops making films.

If Dr. Boll makes you laugh then read this and prepare to wet yourself

NOTE: when accessing the above article, remove the space between the words "something" and "awful" in the URL. For some reason I couldn't get a direct link to work

Why would anyone want to add this to their collection? In case they get so drunk anything will entertain them?

Go to a Best Buyish store on Tuesday afternoons, around lunch.

There are a ton of suits who blind buy every new release on the shelf. It's remarkable to watch. That's why ALONE will sell well.

Yep, that's why I get my blind buys online. Anonymous and cheaper to boot!
