UWE BOLL: Untalented Badass Living in Richmond Hill...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uwe_Boll

I don't know why I decided to see what Wikipedia had to say about universally despised German genre-hack director Uwe Boll, but while his movies mostly leave a sour, acidic, chunky, vomity taste in my mouth, I have a new respect for the guy; he's got BALLS. You've got to appreciate any dude that calls out Micheal Bay and Eli Roth for being 'fucking retards' (truer words have never been spoken), and George Clooney for being boring (Hey, I like the dude too... but he has made a lot of boring bullshit lately); but to go beyond that an actually challenge your most aggressive critics to a series of back to back boxing matches, and then ACTUALLY fight them, and WIN... that's the baddest shit I've ever heard! Maybe this is just another case of me taking the side of the underdog... but I appreciate any guy that does shit his way, without compromise, and doesn't take shit from anyone. The dude's got balls, and lives up the street from me (apparently).

That still doesn't excuse this though:



This was truly, one of the shittiest movies I've ever seen... before any of the movies that followed it. ^_^;;;

If only the dudes talent matched his balls... then he might be the genius he claims (without irony) to be...

Question for you! Do you plan on buying/reviewing Hitoshi Ariga's Mega Man Megamix? It's good stuff!

Nadia>Yes. I have a number of blog posts in the works, and that's one of them.

I'm trying to get back to doing regular blog posts, in an attempt to get my creative juices flowing, but rarely have the time or energy to finish them given how busy I've become at my regular job, not to mention my second job...

But it's coming, don't you worry! UDON did a great job, and I'm happy to see it in print. I've got plenty to say beyond my initial post, which had a lot of my first impressions based on the old Tank I found at my first ANIME NORTH in 1998.

Hey man! Do you know whereabouts in Richmond Hill the Untalented Badass lives? Me and my housemate are recent converts, Boll-caholics if you will (or alca-boll-ics?)! We don't wanna stalk the poor guy or anything (He'd probably challenge us to a boxing match or something) but we'd love to get our pics taken outside his house or something for laugh! We pass through the area regularly enough so just thought I'd ask!
