Yes Uwe Boll said he is a f*cking r*tard, but mentally challenged people are better than him so I will not lower them to his level.
As if he is a the only genius in Hollywood, that is why he is making Razzie movies in Germany. Has anyone seen BloodRayne, I would not make worst enemy see that piece of sh!t. Dudes it is one of the movies where you wonder how much worse it can get every few minutes and it doesn’t disappoint…well you know what I mean.
So how dare he go off on Eli Roth, Eli’s (or Elle as Uwe calls him) Cabin Fever was released in 2001 and that movie paved the way for him to be able to release the never-ending dreck House of Dead in 2003.
Here is what Eli Roth posted on his blog in retaliation:
“That is just further proof of what a genius Sasha Baron Cohen is. That’s his best character yet!”
Eli hit it on the nose there, Uwe Boll is a joke!
Seriously can that guy be any angrier? What is his problem? Oh yeah he sat through his own movies a lot of times, that is enough to make anyone that stark raving mad.
So please sign the petition to Stop Uwe Boll, we only need 850,000 more signatures. Let’s do something positive for the world and stop him from making movies!
I find people who rant like that – calling shit about both me, and George Clooney – comes from someone screaming because he is not being heard. He is obviously a sad being.
When you ask “do I care”? Not in the slightest.

Once again another great writer/director is taking over the New Bev for two weeks in Los Angeles and this one is the brilliant versatile Joe Dante starting tonight. Joe Dante directed Piranha, Gremlins I & II, The Explorers, Innerspace, The ‘burbs and Matinee. Besides showing two of his movies his first feature Hollywood Boulevard on the 11th and his first movie The Movie Orgy (which has been shortened to over 4 hrs from 7) to close the festival on the 22nd, he showing a lot of classics!!! So go and see them all and did I mention all double features are $7 to see both movies, not $7 each movie.
Here are the movies that he is showing and why he chose some of them at the New Bev (Beverly and La Brea) starting tonight!
April 9 + 10 MONDO CANE and ZULU
April 11 + 12 HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD and TRUCK TURNER
We called it “Day For Nothing” when we made it (shot in ten days around footage from 12 other movies on a bet with Roger Corman). One of the last of New World Pictures’ popular “three girl” drive-in movies where pretty girls doff their duds and chase around non-permitted LA locations. The late great Candice Rialson plays a version of herself as a naive Indiana girl trying to make it in scuzzy 70s Hollywood. Pulled from 42nd Street after two days, it seems to have survived as a cult movie. It’s certainly an accurate record of what it was like to make a New World Picture. Producer Jon Davison, co-director Allan Arkush and stars Mary Woronov and Dick Miller are scheduled to appear.
April 13, 14, 15 THE SADIST and THE PRIVATE FILES OF J EDGAR HOOVER –
Fairway-International was a tiny company specializing in grade-C drive-in movies like WILD GUITAR and EEGAH! But from such unlikely soil springs a chilling surprise! James Landis’ intense 1963 drive-in classic is based on the same true crime story as BADLANDS– the serial killing exploits of Charles Starkweather and his underage girlfriend. Brutally unfolding in Real Time over 94 taut minutes, mad killer Arch Hall Jr. terrorizes our small cast in a junkyard — maybe the best-photographed junkyard ever, courtesy of the great Vilmos Zsigmond, who will appear in person on the 15th.
April 16 + 17 THE SECRET INVASION and TOMB OF LIGEIA
TOMB OF LIGEIA was the last of Corman’s popular series of Edgar Allan Poe adaptations, but unlike the others it has many beautiful English countryside exteriors and mostly departs from the stylized stage-bound unreality of its forebears. Robert Towne (CHINATOWN) wrote the script in a more romantic vein, thinking Richard Chamberlain would play the lead–but AIP intervened and sure enough, Vincent Price took over.
April 18 + 19 WRONG IS RIGHT and Mystery Movie
April 20 + 21 BLOOD ON SATAN’S CLAW and HORROR EXPRESS
Piers Haggard’s atmospheric and beautifully photographed (Dick Bush) entry in the burn-the-witches genre benefits from a prolonged sense of dread, literate dialog and an unusually convincing period flavor — sort of a Masterpiece Theater horror film. When hairy patches of “satan’s skin” start cropping up on the bodies of nubile 17th century teenagers, local judge Patrick Wymark intervenes, starting with voluptuous teen temptress Linda Hayden. Less well known than the same studio’s earlier WITCHFINDER GENERAL, but equally effective, with more emphasis on the supernatural. Great score by Marc Wilkinson.
I love train movies. HORROR EXPRESS was made because the producers had access to the train models from NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA. One of my very favorite vehicles (get it?) for Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, this Spanish-made extravaganza (also known as Panic on the Trans-Siberian Express) has it all — good characters, lots of wry humor, a mad monk, a mysterious countess, a prehistoric fossilized monster alien, eyeballs in a jar, Telly Savalas as a bellicose Cossack (it’s 1906) and a surprisingly complex science fiction plot. And I left out the zombies! Seriously, this one of my top favorites of all time.
April 22 THE MOVIE ORGY
This the first, one nite only public showing in many years of my first project. In 1968 when “camp” was king, Jon Davison and I put together a counterculture compendium of 16mm bits and pieces (tv show openings, commercials, parts of features, old serials etc.), physically spliced them in ironic juxtapositions and ran the result at the Philadelphia College of Art interspersed with parts of a Bela Lugosi serial. The reaction was phenomenal. This led to The Movie Orgy, a 7-hour marathon of old movie clips and stuff with a crowd-pleasing anti-war, anti-military, anti-establishment slant that played the Fillmore East and on college campuses all over the country for years — always the one print. We called it a 2001-splice odyssey. We kept adding and subtracting material over time so this, alas, is not the original version– it’s the later cutdown, running a mere 4 hours and 19 minutes! But it’s still a pop time capsule that will bring many a nostalgic chuckle from baby boomers and dazed expressions of WTF?! from anyone else.”
There will also be several guests that will be intro’ing and doing Q&A for their movies along with Joe Dante like Roger Corman and Edgar Wright.
We need to keep these revival houses alive, so it is nice that directors like Joe Dante, Eli Roth, Quintin Tarantino and Edgar Wright are taking over the New Bev to show that they believe that these type of theaters need to stay alive. So come and see one of these double features for $7 (you can’t go to 1 new movie for that price let alone two) at the New Bev or go to your local one. As long as we feed them, they will stay alive!!!
BTW please check out Joe Dante’s in genius website Trailers From Hell where directors do commentary on well trailers from hell…
I can't figure out how Eli Roth and Diablo Cody struck that pose, can you? BTW I love those men behind them doing what Diablo used to do! Now I wonder if Diablo is teaching Eli pole dancing or he is teaching her something?
The two were in Vegas last night to help Fergie and Eli's BFF Quentin Taratino celebrate their birthdays together. Fergie is 33 and Taratino is 45.
OMG, I so love Fergie's dress and as you can tell from that body fitting dress, she is not having a little Josh Duhamel any time soon.
Adam Carolla has a lot going on these weeks. He is dancing with 2-time DWTS champ Julianne Hough on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, hosting his daily morning radio show, The Adam Carolla Show, and his movie The Hammer, that he is self-distributing, came out on Friday and is doing well in limited release. Not only is the movie doing well in the box office, it is also getting rave reviews. This is a great accomplishment for a movie that doesn’t have a studio behind it. We all need to support these movies because look at what the studios are doing ie. Michael Bay destroying The Birds, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street. If you want more movies that are original and will make you laugh then run out and see The Hammer over and over again if you want crap go see a remake instead.
The Hammer was written by Kevin Hench who has worked with Carolla since The Man Show and stars Kevin’s wife Heather Juergensen who wrote and starred in Kissing Jessica Stein.
It was the amazing writer and director, Eli Roth, whose work and opinion I have admired for years who brought my attention to this film. A long-time friend of Kevin and Heather, he told me “And even though they are friends and I would support them no matter what, the movie’s really, really, really funny, so I hope people discover it.” And today Eli Roth was on The Adam Carolla Show and he is helping people to discover my blog by giving me a shout out on the show.
Eli Roth – I just have to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
BTW I also learned during his interview that Eli’s next movie Trailer Trash is coming out on August 22, so be prepared to hear a lot more about it.
If you want to hear the interview of Eli Roth on The Adam Carolla Show, here it is or check it on The Adam Carolla Show site.
So as thank you to Eli Roth and Adam Carolla…please put all your votes towards Adam and Julianne tonight, run out and see The Hammer and go rent Cabin Fever and Hostel 1 and 2!!!
Eli Roth posted on his blog that he did his first audio commentary for the website Trailers from Hell for the trailer Three on a Meathook and let’s just say he wasn’t kidding that this trailer is from hell. You so have to check out his commentary for the trailer and the others done by Joe Dante, Rick Baker and John Landis to name a few. Seriously this site is so much fun! Enjoy!
BTW I so wish they made trailers today as good as the ones featured on Trailers from Hell, they are way too serious these days!
