Uwe Boll for president

If you haven’t been following the controversy following filmmaker Uwe Boll and his many critics, but you’re intrigued, you might start here . Blogger Matthew Bessem provides a pretty good primer, complete with video.

One comment: Boll might be a complete jerk. I wouldn’t know, since I don’t know the man personally and haven’t seen any of his films. But he’s absolutely right to get angry at the Internet types who post nasty criticism of him under pseudonyms. If you have an opinion, man up and use your real name - the way Chris Kohler did .

Below: That’s Uwe Boll to the right there, directing John Rhys-Davies and Burt Reynolds in “In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale,” which was filmed outside Vancouver, British Columbia, in December, 2005.
