It's shit with some good improvised dialogue.

I'm glad I'm not the only one...
Yeah, I know I like to beat people who are essentially defenseless against me to a bloody pulp. Sorry, he went way beyond winning and putting on a good show.

In defense of Uwe Boll. Shine on, you brilliant diamond.

Oh yeah. Bloody pulp alright.

Seriously. Please look into things before buying into the whining propaganda of Lowtax.

Boll gave very fair warning that there would be a boxing match. Is it Boll's fault that the idiot didn't even prepare for the challenge he accepted?

Lowtax showed up for giggles, he wasn't really one of Uwe's huge critics at the time.

And Lowtax was hardly the only one who bitched about Boll's antics that week:

But he has help. Why do developers/publishers keep tossing their licenses to him to make a movie based on their games? They must like his work.
Hate to repeat myself, but then why do these big name hollywood stars agree to be in his movies? I didnt know leelee sobieski had been in the dungeon siege movie.

The owners of the licences are generally the publishers, and the only thing they care about is making as much money with it. Which is not an evil thing in itself, it gives work to people, entertainment to others. And with an adaptation by Boll, they know that it will at least least raise awareness about the game/car/toilet paper they want to sell.

As for why stars accept to play in these films, it could just because they need a bit of money, but also to do something fun for a change. It's like being in an Ed Wood flick, it's an experience on its own !^^

That i can say could be the reason. In the case of postal, the guy from running with scissors was directly involved though. Think the only developer/publihser to turn him down has been Blizzard.

OK, but wouldnt being a really shitty movie be not too good for the star's career? I haventt see christian slater, tara raid or the bloodrayne chick in more recent roles lately.

This guy would make a fantastic Daikatana movie.

Frankly, when you decide to fight someone who knows how to box, you'd best know how to box, too. It's no one's fault but Lowtax's that he got the shit beaten out of him. I'm sorry, what did you expect when you agreed to fight a boxer? That he was going to pull punches?

Maybe someone who clearly has a disregard for his own personal safety shouldn't be blogging in the first place.
Yeah, and Jason Statham, Ron Perlman and Ray Liotta disappeared after In The Name of the King? As long as you've built up your acting credibility, you can do whatever the fuck you want and people will still think of you as a god. Look at how many shitty movies Ben Kingsley has been involved in. Did he disappear after BloodRayne? I don't think so.

Just paying the bills. In the case of ITNOTK, none of the main actors are what would be called big name stars, so with a budget like $60 million, they were probably being fairly well paid.

So he was just there for the PR? And we are sad that he got popped in the head (and gut :p) a few times, why?

As for the link: Yeah, he is a GREAT source and isn't sour at all.

He complains that Boll's "handlers" weren't pasty faced teenagers? It was a PR event, and they dressed up to play it up.
He drops the Nazi/Mussolini bomb almost instantly.
He is angry that Boll's handler didn't say "Oh, be nice. Give him a nice lollypop!", especially since THIS guy actually seemed to have an idea of what boxing was.

Unfortunately, the first video isn't available, but I have seen (and laughed at) the Lowtax video before. Looked like what happens when a college kid hops in a boxing ring at the local gym, expecting to just dance around and pretend he is playing Knockout Kings.

As for the second: I'll admit, I am no expert boxer, and I didn't watch every second of it (mostly skipped to where the blogger was implying the worst action occurred), but I saw nothing overly unsportsmanlike. Were there a few kidney shots (maybe an elbow)? I didn't spot any, but I wouldn't be surprised. They are low blows, but they happen in pro boxing too. And amateur boxers are even more likely to actually accidentally throw one due to incompetence. But since Minter actually hugged him afterward (and is an amateur boxer himself), I don't suspect it was particularly out of the ordinary.
Hell, Wiki says Minter actually sort of liked/tolerated Boll afterward.

So yeah, all you did was manage to find what REEKS of a sore loser. Kudos.

For those playing at home:

Lowtax is angry about it. The SomethingAwful guy has a rant. Yeah...
Guy who wrote that blog is angry. I didn't bother to check for his name, but he seems like the definition of a sore loser.

Chance Minter (the amateur boxer that Lowtax lies about Boll not fighting) actually seems okay with the thing.
Chris Alexander seems pretty okay with everything as well, and actually seems to like Boll after talking to him (hates his films, but likes him).

So of the 5 people, 1 gets paid to rant (and was caught in lies), 1 is a blatant sore loser (maybe he has a valid grievance, but he comes across as whinging), and 2 of them seem okay with the entire thing.
