I shouldn't be paying attention to what he has to say, but I'm just getting pissed off. I mean, learn how to make movies man!

You can't be too bad of a guy when your favorite console is the Super Nintendo.

His boxing skills may resemble Oscar, but Uwe's level of intelligence reminds me more of Daisy De La Hoya.
Did he make the poster himself? Or did his camp do it? Someone should let them know that "Mandalay" is spelled incorrectly.

What started him making movies based on games anyways?

This director that's the greatest in his own mind. Did a series of movies based off videogames (House of the Dead and Bloodrayne to name a couple), can't take criticism worth his life and thinks he's going to eventually direct the MGS movie despite Kojima saying Boll is the last person he'd let helm said film.

Uwe Boll is a guy who can't even make back half his budget. Michael Bay, while he's no Scorsese, tends to make boatloads of cash.
EDIT: Not an exact quote, but it's what I'm getting from all this.

*Explosions in the background*
Perhaps he'll make a joke of it in TF2.

Yeah, but since Uwe Boll has bad reviews and almost non-existent box-office take, he has to fight people so he can prove he's better than everyone.
Of course, all this proves is that he's a bully with delusions of grandeur, and can't accept that his movies are no good.
He's under the impression that Postal--a movie that begins by making fun of 9/11--is going to do better than Indiana Jones 4.

So you can't be too bad of a guy when your favorite video format is VHS?

This video is his response to a petition asking him to stop making video game movies, this is where he put down MB in the first place. That he expected a serious response from this makes him a jerk in my book.

Is that the same petition where he responded that he might consider to quit his job as a director if the signatures hits the 1 million mark?

To my knowledge, I've never heard of Bol or seen his films but he is definately a tosser.

However, I do find it endlessly fascinating to see Bay described as "too good for [Boll]" and ppl leaping to his defence; you know, the guy who 12 months ago was getting death threats and being pre-emptively blamed for the inevitable, forthcoming ruination of the franchise, that would finally, once and for all, destroy it forever.
It's like that old saying my grandmother taught me: every new Transformers is RUINED, until it's not.

Who said I was defending him I am all for this fight. Heck, I wanna see a live from Las Vegas Dennis Leary hosted Locked deathcage match between Boll and Bay.

If a "retard" as he calls Bay can put together a pretty decent crew of people and revitalize the transformers franchise then more power to him, Bay may not be perfect but at least his movies on the whole are more widely accepted and are successful.
Uwe Boll claims to be "the only genius in the whole freakin business", he's a genius at failing and is precisely why all of his movies have to be made or subsidized in germany because nobody in hollywood would or should give him one red penny, I know I wouldn't if I were approached by him.

Uwe Boll is primarily known for making video game adaptations, and showing the property he handles NO RESPECT. While you could apply this to Michael Bay, you'd first have to realize that Boll does it to a much greater extreme.
And he's apparently very arrogant, which is why he considers himself the "Only f*cking genius in the business" yet makes no money, and is universally panned by critics.

Sweet. Then I'll remember to point out how much worse it could be when the bitching about the "Bayformers" resumes in the lead-up to TF2. Sunrise, sunset... sunrise, sunset...
