Self-proclaimed "film genius" Uwe Boll is apparently upset about an online petition calling for him to stop. In retaliation, he has asked for a support Uwe Boll petition in a new profanity filled video.
In the video Uwe basically bashes Hollywood and claims to be a genius in the industry, stating "If you really look at my movies, you will see my real genius." Apparently, if one million people sign the
stop Uwe Boll petition, he will stop making movies. On the other hand, if you are in support of Uwe and his films, you can head over to
this petition. Currently, the stop Uwe petition has about 150,000 signatures while the new pro Uwe petition has only about 300.
While this just looks like a bit of a publicity stunt to promote his new movie Postal, which is set to be released in late May as stated in his "complaint," the movie has surprisingly gained some support from US critics according to
Digital Spy and a couple of other sites.
You can find new Uwe response video on
Youtube.
