This is honestly too funny. I mean, really. So, Uwe Boll actually did try to get himself onboard as director of the WarCraft movie that Blizzard is trying to develop. Seriously. And of course, Blizzard told him to go dunk his head in a toilet.According to Boll himself, "I got in contact with Paul Sams of Blizzard... and he said, 'We will not sell the movie rights, not to you... especially not to you because it's such a big online game success, maybe a bad movie would destroy that ongoing income, what the company has with it.'
Boll then continued into a bit of a rant that didn't really have a real point: "You go for it to please the game fans, but on the other hand if you have the hardcore gamers, they live in their own world. And you cannot fulfill their ideas from a video game based movie, it's impossible...To be honest, the real gamers are the typical download guys, right? They don't pay anything for movies, because they illegally download the movies. So why I should please these guys? I need the normal audience."
Well, the part about 'you cannot fulfill their ideas from a video game based movie, it's impossible' is usually true. And Boll is part of the problem that MAKES that statement true. Everything is just his usual nonsense.
So, that's pretty funny, and I might be able to make a comic out of that... :D

*snerk* I like the image you added there. Yeah, Boll apparently does think he is a genius.
Or does he? I honestly think that since he knows people don't care what he thinks, and also hate him, he doesn't care what he says and what people think of it.
But that still doesn't explain why he actually thought Blizzard would let him helm the WarCraft movie. Since he knows people hate him, and this would be the biggest name movie he's tried to get so far, and BY far....why did he think he could get it? Or did he know he probably would not get it, but wanted to try anyway, because he just doesn't care?
Hmmmm.
