PAX 07: Uwe Boll Speaks, Dodges Insults
Uwe Boll is, as everyone knows, a bastard piece of lukewarm stool. Which is why Tycho introduced him thus:
"As you may have heard, we couldn’t get Jack Thompson to come out, but there are other villains in this world, and we have one – Uwe Boll!"
After being called a "racist piece of shit" and being told to "get the f*ck off the stage," Boll launched into some of the weirdest ramblings I've ever been unfortunate enough to read. To wit:
"I got some kind of funny ideas like shooting children or flying a plane into the World Trade Center, and these sorts of things are pretty funny to me..."
Oh, and he mentioned that Rob Schneider passed on Postal because it was "too hardcore." That's a sign, methinks.
Boll went on to dodge such questions as "Given the scope of your taste and vision, how do you get funded?" and "Why are we forced to see David Foley's penis?" But my own personal favorite has to be using South Park not only as a human shield but as the virtuous goal of his Postal-mongering:
"We showed the movie in NYC and a man came up to me who said his father died in the World Trade Center attack. He said this movie was necessary to do, so I think Postal is a funny movie, but maybe also the only fictional movie that’s a bit like South Park in reality, that goes and puts the finger in the wound."
I guess. I dunno, I've avoided Boll since House of the Dead, like any sane person would. If you've got the stones, check out the rest of Uwe's unctuous quotables.
