I am not a fucking retahd like Michael Bay." http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/look_i_am_not_a_fucking_retahd_like_mich Maker of atrocious films Uwe Boll has a minute-long rant up at his newest film's website about the anti-Uwe Boll petitions that are circling the Internet, and why he's the only genius in the moviemaking business. I don't want to contribute to the overuse of this word, but it's totally, toe-curlingly sublime. (Via Defamer.)...

That's hardcore.

Then we can start on actors. Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, and Robin Williams for starters.

The same can not be said for Uwe Boll.

I still can't believe I managed to watch all of Alone In The Dark.

It was something else (and I don't mean that in a good way).

Most of the events are totally gay, anyway.

I've worked in the local videogame industry for 15 years and you couldn't pay me to see a movie based on a videogame. Never have, never will.

He has a point about Bay, though.

Uwe Boll doesn't make shit movies. He makes the kind of movies you would make if you went to film school in Bizzaro world. They exist in a parallel universe where bad is good, sense is nonsense, and Stephen Dorff is a good actor. If you can't exand your mind to enjoy Boll's artistic levels of badness, you clearly have no soul.


P.S. Michael Bay doesn't make movies, he makes porn for those who get off on slow motion and explosions. Hell, I jack it to Bad Boys 2 all the time.

I very much look forward to the loophole closing.
