This is not some clever title, but a literal truth.
A recent press release about the Bloodrayne DVD degenerated somehow into an open challenge issued by Boll to any of his harshest critics - Roger Avary and Quentin Tarantino are mentioned by name - to come to Vancouver, undergo a physical examination to determine fitness, and then join him in the ring for a ten-bout boxing match to be broadcast on the Internet. Selected scenes from these fights will be included in his upcoming film, Postal.
You can read an article about this here, as well as the press release itself.
I think Boll's a nutjob. A nutjob that needs to stop making pitiful movies. If getting pummeled by a legion of his critics will aid in that, I say bring on the mouthguards.
Also, your link doesn't work.
ETA: Heee! I forgot that he likes to call himself Dr. Uwe Boll. Oh, my sides hurt. I love his full-bore crazy.
Uwe Boll is doing a movie on the game POSTAL?!!!....Damn maybe he might not screw this one up(and this time im being serious you should play postal 2 yourself and see what i mean)..
Hopefully he sucks at fighting as much as he does at making movies. Here's to Quentin ripping him a new one. I know nothing about his work, but I hear he's terrible. What's the video game he made into a movie?
And why make a movie out of a franchise that's been dormant for years?
Edit: Ah, the magic of Wikipedia. Dear God, he made House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark? Those were terrible!
I think a movie (in the sense of one broadcast live over the internet) of Uwe Boll getting his ass kicked would be the only movie that even Uwe Boll himself couldn't make suck.

"...because without beer, things do not seem to go as well."
All I need to know is that he made Alone in the Dark. I watched about half an hour of that movie before turning it off in disgust, and cursing over the fact that I wasted three dollars to rent it. He's not worthy of licking the bottom of Tarantino's shoes, let alone taking a swing at him. Kick his ass, Quentin, or better yet, have Uma Thurman do it. She'd take him down in five seconds flat, using only one finger.

Oh God, that article made me laugh so hard. He's actually challenging people that criticize his movies over the Internet to a boxing match? Talk about a guy that wants to hear only what he wants to hear...
I have seen Tarantino in person and unfortantly I think he would get his ass handed to him. But I just love Uwe Boll, he gets a bunch of money, loses it and gets more money for his next film, loses it and guess what, gets more money and loses it. Amazing isn't it.
... Because apparently a boxing ring determines your skill in movie making. Although that would explain something about his films.
As awesome as it would be to watch Tarantino beat his guy until he cries, I really hope he spends more of his time on his movies. He's really not worth Quentin's time.
I really haven't seen any of Boll's movies, but it would be funny to watch some rich ass directors fight anyway.
Maybe this will be a new trend. Maybe now when celebrities have beef, or fans argue about which movie is better or something, the stars can just throw down and we will just see who the better actor is!! I think that would be sweet. I would just love to see Danny Divito try and kick someone's ass.
What we need to do is select the best boxer from among us, and pool our internet resources to make them a website and hype him or her as a huge critic. Then, we apply for this thing and have Boll beaten to a pulp.
This reminds me of the time Al Franken challenged Rich Lowry to a fight for challenging the manliness of liberals.
Iain Taylor of Vivendi Visual Entertainment Canada stated, “BloodRayne ranked in the top 6 best selling DVD titles during the first part week of sales in Canada (Nielsen Videoscan Canada)”. In the USA BloodRayne’s DVD performance was even stronger. Tom O’Malley, GM of Vivendi Visual Entertainment (USA), said “For the first time in this industry, a Theatrical Release and the Complete PC Video Game were released together on DVD. BloodRayne ranked in the top 5 best selling DVD titles during its debut week (Nielsen VideoScan USA)”. In both countries unofficial DVD rental statistics have proven to be even more impressive. Again the fans have shown that the critics of Uwe Boll are out of touch with want the general movie audience population wants.
Oh, I love this part of the article. Apparantly, the amount of DVDs you sell is directly proportional to your talent. There are two problems with this:
1) Whenever a movie or DVD debuts, it usually pops immediately to the top of the charts, simply because the fans of that movie or DVD all want to buy it right when it's released. If it's popular enough, it will continue to be in the top ten AFTER that week is over. If it sucks...well...that ranking drops really quickly after the first week.
2) Not everyone in the world is a movie connesuir (I probably spelled that wrong...). There are dumb people in the world who will pay good money for dumb stuff. Or they just get suckered into paying good money for stuff they think MIGHT be good but end up horribly disappointed...which is probably where most of Uwe's profits come from.
3) Pretty much anyone who has seen the movie Serenity will tell you it is a must-see for sci-fi fans. It's profits? Unfortunately, it shared the same fate as its parent series Firefly and didn't do too well at the box office. But I'd bet money that you couldn't find anyone who would honestly say that any of Uwe Boll's movies are better than Serenity.
postal like the rest of this idiot's movies is going to suck. just the fact they have to make osama bin laden one of the man characters to give it some shock value shows how stupid it is going to be.

You'll also notice how it says first PART week in Canada.
Also, I'm not clear from the articles' wording, but by the game and the DVD released together, did you have to buy them together? That would make it even more pathetic.

I really want to see Roger Ebert kick ass. He looks like he could go crazy.

What happens is that when you buy the DVD version of the movie, it comes with the game, which is actually some good. I forget which mag I read it in, but either PCG or CGW joked about people buying the DVD just to get the game.

He looks crazy violent, a natural born killer if you know what i mean. This is extremely funny and I hope Quentin tarrantrino opens up a can on him
Well, Boll would deserve it. I'd personally pay money to see Quentin Tarantino beat the crap out of Uwe Boll. I love poetic justice.
