And the 'Winner' is...

The other day at work a co-worker was telling me that he watched "In the Name of the King: A dungeon Siege Tale" and well, the best thing he could say about it was...well that he watched it. There was little positive feed back and I will spare you the more crude comments and comparisons he made but the point it he didn't like it. And apparently neither did anyone else. This movie was yet another product of Uwe Boll, a German director who has made a career of producing, writing and directing movies that well, no one likes. Is that a broad generalization? Yes. Is it wrong, most likely. To say that no one at any point and time ever enjoyed his movies is mostly likely inaccurate. However, I will use the Internet itself to support my claim that they are generally not well liked. If you go to IMDB and search for a movie it gives you a plethora of information, such as overall rating as voted by fans, and who was in the movie, cast, crew, etc, etc...now, one feature that IMDB has is the top 250 movies of all time. These movies are voted on by fans and there is a formula as to which ones end up in the top 250 as many times there are times. There is then the bottom 100. The worst movies of all time...apparently. So, this is where I get my point across. Uwe Boll has produced/directed 4 of these bottom 100 moves himself. In all the history of film, he has 4 of the worst movies as voted by you. That's 4% by one guy...that's a pretty heavy percentage to say the least. And the rest of the moves he has made have not fared much better. The overall rating for his movies on average would be about 3.2 out of 10...so how the hell is he still getting work? Am I a bit jealous because he is and I am not..yes, but that doesn't change the facts. If you continue to produce below average work, there is obviously a market full of fools out there to watch this garbage, so he must be one of the most clever men in Hollywood to keep pulling the wool over our eyes like this! Well, clever may be a bit of an overstatement. But if we are the ones going to see these, who is really the idiot here? So to Uwe Boll I present the life time achievement of well...nothing award...good luck with that!
