I know its hard to comprehend but it could be true....
A friend of mine who is part of the sketch comedy group Loading Ready Run (http://loadingreadyrun.com/), who has through the years made many many videos poking fun at Uwe Boll and the horrible films he produces recently ran into the man himself while at a Starbucks and managed to score an interview with him.
What comes next is something that no one could of ever expected, a highly intelligent and laid back conversation about what Uwe really feels about the film industry shedding the persona we all know him as and talk about his movies and why they fail so hard.
You can view the 20 minute interview here. (http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/330/an_interview_with_uwe_boll)
Granted this hasn't made me want to run out and go see Postal but it has made me respect the man a whole lot more than before and a lot of what he says does ring true. Not that I agree with everything he says but it is interesting.
I still do think that with the right movie, Boll can make something really good. I always have thought that but with the way he has gone so far, he hasn't hit anything really solid yet and its really hard for me to randomly go see yet another one of his movies (Especially with the rising theater ticket prices) without tons of people telling me that Boll has managed to come up with something that finally works.
But from what he said, it doesn't matter if we see it in theaters. He makes everything off the DVD sales and TV viewings so I don't feel too bad about not going to see it.
Wondering what everyone else's opinions are here of this video showing a very different side to Boll is....
UPDATE: It just got Kotaku'd! (http://kotaku.com/5011019/uwe-boll-gets-serious)
