Uwe Boll: "Ich bin nicht der neue Ed Wood"
Der gute Herr Boll scheint die Kritik so langsam leid zu sein. Eine kürzlich verfasste (und schlechte) Kritik die auf Wired.com über seinen neuen Film Postal erschien, brachte das Fass anscheinend zum Überlaufen. In einem Interview mit dem Magazin machte sich Uwe Boll dann einmal richtig Luft und zeigte, dass ihn die Kritik wohl ganz schön trifft. Allerdings sucht er nicht die Fehler in den eigenen Reihen, sondern beschuldigt vielmehr die Presse und dass man alles nur schlechtreden würde.
Wired-Journalist Chris Kohler kam dabei fast gar nicht mehr zu Wort und bekam dabei zu hören, wie "unfair behandelt" und "angepisst" sich Herr Boll bei derart schlechten Kritiken fühlt. Da das Interview im Original viel aussagekräftiger ist, haben wir für euch das komplette Interview unter dem folgenden Link zum Nachlesen. Hier allerdings schon einmal ein kleiner Auszug, der auch unter dem Titel laufen könnte: "Die fabelhafte Welt des Herrn Boll"
Interview Auszug:
WN: I see. I mean, from my perspective, I really enjoyed the first scene, I laughed at the first scene, and then from there I thought that the comedy timing kind of went down, and that was sort of how me and my friends felt about it afterwards. And no, I wasn´t attempting to destroy you or attempting to destroy the movie. But that was my take on the movie, how I felt coming out of it. And I wasn´t going to sit there and go over each individual scene. But as you mentioned, some of the stuff that I felt was kind of a high point... and I think that obviously there were people in the audience who liked it...
UB: Read your own review. You trashed that movie as garbage. You trashed me as, like, untalented guy. Read your own review. You went far over the top. I don´t know, if you were choosing a movie like Next with Nicolas Cage or Ultraviolet or Elektra, and you see Postal, and you don't find anything positive in Postal, then fine. I think you´re not a good film reviewer, you´re not a good journalist, and you are out there in one of the Boll-bashing circles and nothing else is interesting for you.
And posting the whole email correspondence directly on your website, this was your decision, so I don´t care, but this shows that you want to get clicks on your website and everything else doesn´t matter for you. The same with the interview now, it´s only to get more clicks on your website, nothing else. It´s not because you thought about it and you think now that you were wrong. You think I´m an idiot, and this is what you basically get out there. But you should not ignore that from the 250 people sitting there, maybe 220 really liked the movie.
WN: I, you know...
UB: And if you read Variety today, in Variety there´s a good review today, and maybe you think the Variety guy is an idiot because he has not your opinions. Or mention the San Francisco Chronicle and tons of other people. And I think it was a totally over-the-top unreasonable damaging bad article.
