That s something. Perhaps everything.
You certainly are a celebrity of MI6 Community. Everyone is famous to somebody or one set of people when you think about it. I remember someone making that point on a daytime TV show in the late 1990s, which incidentally featured Shirley Eaton as a guest.
If he was a pratt in real life, but made some good films, I could understand that. Seperating him from his work. But he is a failure on both fronts. His films are so bad, they aren't even so bad they're good, they're just bad.
And I am convinced that the Bloodrayne films killed the game series. Bloodrayne 2 (game) was released in 2004, Bloodrayne (film) was released in 2005. And that, I won't forgive.
AND he actually made two even worse BloodRayne sequels. It's unbelievable. Who gave this man a budget for that?
It's a tax incentive, or something, isn't it? Or a tax loophole, it's something like that. Otherwise, no sane person would give him £10 to make a film, let alone several million $$$$'s.
The funny thing, is that I thought Kristanna Loken was a good choice in the first film. In the right hands, like the games, they could have been fun action/horror hybrids, different enough to the Resident Evil films. Rather than the jokes they were, that I am convinced damged the games. Not that the games were massivly respected, but they were popular enough, until that fool came along.
I have actually met Boll at a convention. He had just made a pretentious holocaust film called Auschwitz. I thought it a good idea to talk to the man and get his autograph, just for fun. Next thing I know, he's complaining to me about why the likes of Spielberg (i.e. Jews?) think they are the only ones who can address this subject matter and whatnot and how that is so not the case. So he made a holocaust film to honor the many Jewish victims Hitler made while telling modern Jews to ef off so he can make movies. 🤨
I have seen Far Cry too. From what i remember, th eone thing it did get right, was casting Udo Kier as a mad Dr. I mean, naturally. ;) Kier does make a great villain.
Boll sounds deluded, on top of being awful at his job.
Exactly. Cast Kier in a villainous part and you've already half won, right? Not Boll, no. Worse still, his hero in Far Cry is Til Schweiger, who seems lost in this production, like a child looking for its parents in the mall. One year later, QT cast Schweiger in Inglourious Basterds and made him rock as Hugo Stiglitz in a part that's not even the most interesting part of that film. Boll is the exact opposite of QT in that sense. He gets the talent and he still doesn't know how to make proper use of it. QT gets the talent and finds ways to elicit performances unlike any they've ever given before.
The only thing Boll seems concerned with is getting young ladies to strip for him. Tara Reid wouldn't do it, and so Boll blacklisted her, which technically means nothing except in Boll-land. But poor Kristanna Loken took the bait--I wonder how much she regrets that today, poor girl.
I don't think he wants to be liked.
Perhaps they're celebrating how much they dislike him? ;)
I
To be honest why should he care what other people think about him?
