One million signatures and Uwe Boll will quit directing

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

I'd be stunned if you could find a million people that even know who he is...

With some ... luck (?) a million people might know after the petition. I guess at the moment it might come out as "any kind of publicity is good" for Herrn Boll.

Much as I'd like to see Uwe Boll's career come crashing down in a burning fireball...

Does anyone really believe he'll retire based on a petition, no matter what he said in an interview? Really?

The man thrives on this sort of negative publicity. He likes the fact that so many people hate him. It just gets him more attention.

 

[Crothian]

I don't care enough about him to bother signing anything. I prefer just not seeing or talking about his movies. Once more people just ignore him he'll go away.

Exactly.

There's no way he'll retire. Heck, people on other sites (Digg, etc) have blatantly said they've put in fake names. That's enough of an excuse right there.

 

[Kaodi]

Yeah, just like he wimped out of fighting the one guy who could have beaten him in the ring.

 

[Mark]

Huh. 1/4 million.

I'm 125544.

Unfortunately, even if Boll does stop, some other unholy monstrosity will step in to take his place.

Probably not, but in the off chance that he might, what's the harm in taking 5 minutes to sign it?

 

[Man in the Funny Hat]

I have never seen a Uwe Boll film. Anyone who would, from what I understand of the mans skills, DESERVES what they get. Anyone who allows him to write/produce/direct a film based on an IP that I might be interested in might make me angry for doing so - but wouldn't get MY money in any case.

In short, I don't care.

As Ari said, the folks who claim to hate him so are giving him a ridiculous amount of free publicity.

It's amusing, really.
