Sticking it to THE MAN, assuming THE MAN is an innocent casual dining restaurant.
Uwe taking it so serious and actually beating them up made it so much funnier though, and lowtax did a great job considering imo.

Funny thing about this movie. They just got done filming the Holocaust movie and they had all these sets still around, so they decided to just go "gently caress it, let's shoot another movie since we got all these sets".

haven't seen it but I kinda liked what he had to say about it

"But to be honest, what is Germany doing? If you make a Sophie Scholl movie or an Anne Frank movie, you get subsidies, you get into the Berlin Film Festival because everybody's happy that you're showing that there were Germans in the resistance. But that is bullshit! The reality is that everybody went with it. Only 40 percent voted for Hitler, but then 90 percent went with it and didn't question why Jews were getting deported. And after the war they said they thought the Jews were in working camps or being sent to the front line. Everybody had an excuse. And if you make a movie now you only get support if you show Germany in a positive light. "

Yeah I've actually seen that film and honestly, it's not bad. It's over the top at times, but considering the poo poo that is on the historical record on what happened in the holocaust the over the top poo poo isn't that over the top. The film has pacing problems, and lacks any meaningful plot, but it was actually kind of refreshing. I've seen so many movies that deal with the holocaust which allude to the atrocities or try and humanize certain Nazis that it was refreshing to see a movie where it was "yes these people are loving evil, this is how loving twisted we became towards the end of the war." None of the Schindler List gas chamber is really a shower fake out, no humor like in Life is Beautiful, just an examination of how far down the dark path humans can really go.

Uwe Boll is a lovely person, and he's made a ton of movies which are just garbage, and really this movie suffered from his poor direction. However I'm glad it was made.

Didn't Lowtax explain the whole thing in a front page article way back whenever before it happened, about how he'd never seen any of his movies but was going to review one for the opportunity to get punched?
Then somewhere along the way a bunch of people somehow got the idea that he was a legitimate movie critic or something.

Aleuts rock, chummer.

I remember when Uwe Boll sent out the challenge he said something about no obvious ringers, so he was never planning on fighting anyone who could potentially hurt him. Lowtax still got in a couple of hits, for America. :patriot: You should've filmed your training then put it in a montage.

I wish Lowtax had knocked him the gently caress out, but he's like the least violent person ever. Just always seems happy and friendly like my dog. If lowtax was a dog he would wag his tail a lot.

Also keep in mind that, when I was in the ring (before the match started), I was still under the impression that this was a PR gag. When he started pummeling the poo poo out of me, I actually said (well tried to say with my mouthpiece in) "what the hell are you doing?" to him. I really couldn't even get a punch in because I was too busy trying to protect my face from his fists.

Uwe Boll was angry because the critical response to his movies was pretty humiliating. In turn, he wanted to publicly humiliate a few of his critics in a fight he couldn't lose. He was very clear that he would not be pulling any punches. In interviews, he spoke openly about his background as a semiprofessional boxer.

Three of the five participants knew what they were getting into, but two of the them, Lowtax and Ain't it Cool News writer Jeff Sneider, somehow ended up assuming the event was going to be just entertainment with no real boxing involved.

Are you inferring that somehow the concept of getting flown into another country for the sole purpose of being punched a lot was a conceptually flawed idea?!? I never thought of it that way!

Hey, I applied for Raging Boll as well. Getting flown to another country for the sole purpose of getting punched in the face by Uwe Boll and living to tell the story sounded awesome! Sadly, he turned me down because at that point, we had been in contact for a while and he knew I didn't actually hate him. (Still think most of his movies are pretty poor, to be quite honest.)

Should have kicked him in the nuts then pretended you thought it was kickboxing at that was allowed and the reason you didn't know any better is because they didn't train you as promised.

Seriously, I try to see the best in Germans because I'm a forgiving man and it was ages ago, and then they pull oval office-tier poo poo like this.

I also feel post match you should have really loving laid into him and his movies a bit more just to wind him up followed by saying he punched like a pussy.

At least Boll was successful in proving that he wasn't a bad director by punching people in the face.

Lowtax it's time for a rematch. Get the SA offices back and turn them into a training facility. We want montage footage.

Uwe makes movies based on video games. They were panned. He took it to the logical extreme, whereas in a video game an immature loser would message you after a round and call you names, challenging you to say it to his face. It's like poetry.
