Uwe Boll Offers Alternatives to Seeing Saw V

movieretriever.com — Horror fans just need to know that Saw V isn't the only horror movie they can see his Halloween holiday season. We needed someone, a member of the Hollywood media elite, with some credibility we could borrow for the cause, so we approached a filmmaker with a long history of horrifying movie audiences - Uwe Boll.

  • Trekhawk, on 10/24/2008, -0/+31Alternatives to Seeing Saw V:

    -Watch a car crash in morbid pleasure
    -Punch yourself in the testicles in masochistic pleasure

  • DekarCorvus, on 10/24/2008, -1/+26i'm not sure i can digg this. they said they went to someone with credibility...thats completely inaccurate. but...to be fair..he has horrified us.
  • algaeturd, on 10/24/2008, -1/+18Worst director ever.
  • Snoods, on 10/24/2008, -4/+18ARE YOU GUYS ***** CRAZY?!
    Uwe Boll is the greatest director ever. He proved it in 2006 when he beat 5 of his critics in boxing matches.
    End of discussion.
    Be careful what you say, or Mr. Boll will have to prove it to you next.
  • inactive, on 10/24/2008, -3/+17"Uwe Boll is *****."

    Fixed it for you.
  • Ghostalker, on 10/25/2008, -1/+12I wish South Park coulda raped him instead of Harrison Ford :(
  • adventflux, on 10/25/2008, -0/+10I'd rather be a victim in a Saw movie than watch another Uwe Boll film.
  • inactive, on 10/25/2008, -1/+11Saw V is *****.
  • koldmilk, on 10/25/2008, -2/+12Buried just cause it's Uwe Boll.
  • Turkman182, on 10/24/2008, -0/+9"The Worst Film of All Time" ... so far! He's still directing you know.
  • kinseyincanada, on 10/25/2008, -0/+8so whats worse Uwe Bowl films or Saw?
  • Rollic, on 10/24/2008, -4/+12Why? He's consistently hilarious.

    I actually want him to direct the Halo movie because, c'mon, that'd be the most epic MS3TK movie of all time.
  • Snoods, on 10/25/2008, -0/+7/s

    I really shouldn't have to do this.
  • Johnnyjm, on 10/25/2008, -0/+7Uwe can suck my bolls.
  • inactive, on 10/24/2008, -1/+8Yes. because captain fail knows everything about the movie business.

    P.s Saw stopped being after the second one. Now it's just a cash cow.
  • explnx, on 04/27/2009, -0/+6The first Saw had a fairly original premise and very well executed for an independent horror film. The second is watchable if you're into the genre. The other ones are just crappy sequels. Uwe Bowl isn't even in the same league.
  • Turkman182, on 10/24/2008, -1/+7My favorite bit is that Will Sanderson quit acting after appearing in SEED. And that THAT'S a reason for renting it. Priceless. Uwe never disappoints me. Never.
  • reva, on 10/25/2008, -0/+6dugg for the double-entendre in "long history of horrifying movie audiences"
  • robbyg13, on 10/24/2008, -0/+6Read up on how he gets funding for his movie. His movies are utter *****, but he has a great way of raising money in Germany. I hate him a lot though. Alone in the Dark was THE WORST FILM of alltime.
  • DekarCorvus, on 10/24/2008, -0/+5your right....but if UWE BOLL were to see this...it may get to his head. we do NOT want to encourage him. its just cruel...
  • Rollic, on 10/24/2008, -0/+5I think the "credibility" line was pretty obviously sarcastic.
  • KingRocket, on 10/25/2008, -0/+5Postal was Funny nothing groundbreaking but still good for a chuckle.
    Sure Postal: The Movie had a few flaws, then again so did the game, most accurate Video game Movie Eva!
  • itsbob, on 10/25/2008, -1/+6Postal was great!
    Every movie doesn't have to be serious of even have a plot for that matter.
  • keyboardduder, on 10/25/2008, -1/+5How to become an embodiment of irony

    1. Mention bad movies and how much you hate and avoid them
    2. Contact the guy who has made the worst movies. Including one that was on the top 10 worst (Alone in the dark) and ***** call him credible
    3. Hits to your ***** ***** site.

    Goodnight and go ***** yourself/
  • greeniemeani, on 10/25/2008, -0/+4Postal actually wasn't that bad (as compared to House of The Dead, Alone in The Dark, etc).
  • GoKings, on 10/25/2008, -0/+3Why can't Jigsaw put Uwe Boll in a contraption? I'd pay to see that.

    "Hello Uwe... Would you like to play a game? You've been making ***** movies for years, choosing to throw away countless money that could have gone to better pictures, and it's time for you to make a choice. Inside your rectum is a VHS copy of The House of the Dead. You have one minute to remove it before this door slams shut and the only thing you will have for entertainment for the rest of your life is ***** covered House of the Dead (literally and figuratively) that you pulled out of your rectum. Your choice Uwe... Live or die..."
  • waxcrash, on 10/25/2008, -0/+3"We needed someone, a member of the Hollywood media elite, with some credibility we could borrow for the cause, so we approached a filmmaker with a long history of horrifying movie audiences - Uwe Boll."

    Ha ha ha. I thought this was satire, but it's not. Uwe Boll is the biggest douche in modern film making history. He has approached some of the bigger game developers wanting to make movies out of their games, and they have told him to f*ck off. The guy finances his movies through a tax loop hole in Germany. He pays for the movie up front with his own money, and then the German tax payers pick up 50% of the tab.

    The guy is not respected in the film industry. He is a joke.
  • MousouMachine, on 10/25/2008, -0/+3Horrified us under terms that he did not originally intend. If you want to feel nauseous, violated, and absolutely paralyzed with fear, I challenge you to try and watch any of those "oft-debated classics" mentioned in the article without clawing your eyes out.
  • DeadBird, on 10/25/2008, -1/+4Sign the STOP UWE BOLL Petition!! He's promised to stop making movies if it hits 1,000,000 signatures!

  • mizike, on 10/25/2008, -0/+3I must say, that's a pretty solid top three all time horror movie list. I can't argue at all with the shining or dawn of the dead (the original, obviously) but I'd replace rosemary's baby with the exorcist.
  • doublefelix, on 10/25/2008, -0/+3
    You want horror, try sitting through Beverly Hills Chihuahua the week you gave up sniffing glue.
  • rolf, on 10/25/2008, -0/+3Would you really want him to?

  • plutonium28, on 10/25/2008, -1/+3Saw is awesome, buried.
  • AzureRise, on 10/25/2008, -0/+2He funds his movies with Nazi gold.
  • Dermah, on 10/25/2008, -0/+2Be careful what you say or Mr. Boll will jump out from a dark alleyway and punch you in the face.
  • dannyboy3020, on 10/25/2008, -0/+2Yeah, those udders have been dry for a while now.
  • dashdingo, on 10/25/2008, -0/+2He has such a dumb name.
  • KloroFormd, on 10/25/2008, -0/+2Agreed. I thought Postal was *****' hilarious, and fit the game's complete lack of a decent story.

    So what's that... 1 movie that didn't completely suck?
  • emjaymj, on 10/25/2008, -0/+2Consistently hilarious, AND as the description says, horrifying. Not for any actual merit though, but because his films are always just so goddamn awful.
  • doctorgrim, on 10/25/2008, -0/+2The Saw series does not qualify as a "Halloween Movie". But it does qualify as rubbish.
  • AzureRise, on 10/25/2008, -0/+2I actually liked Postal. I didn't wanna watch it because it's Uwe, but I'm a fan of the games so I watched it expecting the crapper that is Uwe Boll's films, but I liked it. Started off a little slow but it was a pretty good movie.
  • Greengoo, on 10/25/2008, -0/+2I personally REALLY enjoyed the first 2 Saw movies. I also pretend that 3,4 and I'm sure 5 didn't happen.

    Don't remind me they exist.
  • herrshuster, on 10/25/2008, -0/+2OMG DO YOU HAVE A CAMERA IN MY HOUSE???
    wow that's sad...
  • ICasualty, on 10/25/2008, -0/+2This guy wouldn't know a good movie if it hit him in the face. This guy doesn't need press time or his terrible name anywhere on any kind of media.

    Please never post anything about this douche ever again.

    Thank you,
    Digg community.
  • ripple123, on 10/25/2008, -0/+2-the
  • KingRocket, on 10/25/2008, -0/+2Even Boll hasn't got the balls to make 5 movies with only one movies worth of material. Yet ;)
  • bonk2k, on 10/25/2008, -0/+2I'm gonna say Saw stopped being good after the first. I was really intrigued by the first because it had a real good psycho-drama meets awesome slasher flick vibe. After that it was just a cheesy slasher flick.
  • LordStandley, on 10/25/2008, -0/+1Actually if you're watching Saw movies, you're the moron.
