Uwe Boll confirms 'Boll vs. Bay' brawl, Michael Bay denies accepting Boll's challenge
by Griffin McElroy

Those who were wishing to actually witness a few rounds of fisticuffs between crummy filmmaker Uwe Boll and occasionally crummy filmmaker Michael Bay (following Boll's challenge last weekend) have certainly ridden a rollercoaster of excitement and disappointment these past few days. We admit, we got pretty pumped after viewing the above video, a supposed confirmation that Bay had accepted Boll's terms, and that the two would meet in the ring -- unfortunately, this directorial showdown isn't in the cards (much to Boll's chagrin, we're sure).
An administrator on Michael Bay's official forums recently talked to the blockbuster poster boy (currently doing post-production work for "The Horsemen") who denied accepting Boll's challenge, and claimed he'd never spoken directly with Boll in the first place. We can't help but wonder -- is this another publicity stunt for the antagonized franchise-wrecker in light of the May 23 U.S. release for "Postal", or has Uwe finally lost his damn mind? Little from Column A, little from Column B.
[Thanks, Fernando]

He's got a point, Pearl Harbor WAS the worst war movie ever.
Lord Bowser @ May 3rd 2008 11:57AM
Why is the word "was" capitalised? Is there a war movie that has reached the debts of Pearl Harbour? Or are you just a fan of capitalisation? Do you think in Comic Sans?
Obie @ May 3rd 2008 1:26PM
"I miss you more then Michael Bay missed the mark
When he made Pearl Harbor
I miss you more than that movie missed the point
And that’s an awful lot girl
And now, now you’ve gone away
And all I’m trying to say is
Pearl Harbor sucked, and I miss you
I need u like Ben Affleck needs acting school
He was terrible in that film
I need u like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part
He’s way better than Ben Affleck
And now all I can think about is your smile
and that shitty movie too
Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you
Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?
I guess Pearl Harbor sucked
Just a little bit more than I miss you"

It's called EMPHASIS
Tiptup300 @ May 3rd 2008 3:28PM
Doesn't make Boll less of a douche.
Tim The Enchanter @ May 4th 2008 8:18PM
Pearl Harbor was the best movie Uwe never came close to being able to create. Natch.

This is pathetic. I'm not even watching that clip. Sucks at trolling just as much as directing.
Cabcru @ May 3rd 2008 1:13PM
Yeah, it's a feeble set-up just to pimp his movie. Even more convinced now than I was before that the 'Internet petition vs. Boll' thing was started by the dumbass himself.
Delgado @ May 3rd 2008 1:31PM
You beliefs that its just simple promotional material would be even more realized if you watched it, where he says that entry into the fight will be 10 Postal tickets. As in, artificially inflate my movie sales so it looks like I'm not as bad as I really am.
Obie @ May 3rd 2008 1:40PM
Armageddon was also friggin' stupid. But at least Bay has "Bad Boys", "The Rock" and "Transformers" to keep his cred.
Kujel @ May 3rd 2008 2:01PM
The Rock and Transformers were alright but Bad Boys was GAY!
Lord Bowser @ May 3rd 2008 2:04PM
And Kujel knows a few things about being gay, believe me.
Obie @ May 3rd 2008 2:08PM
Bad Boys 2, yeah that one sucked, the first one was fun!
t_m @ May 3rd 2008 3:40PM
transformers was horrendous.
I will admit that I have a big soft spot for The Rock though.
Yourself @ May 3rd 2008 3:45PM
The Rock is definitely one of the greatest action flicks of all time. The rest of Michael "let's put a car chase here" Bay's career is pretty lousy.
JakubK666 (Ninja Defence Force) @ May 3rd 2008 3:45PM
@ Bowser
Just like you know all about bestiality?
Cyro @ May 3rd 2008 11:49AM
Man does he need a role model.
I think these videos are just a way for him to reach out to us and tell us that he is about to crack and needs help. So sad.
*face to palms*
Lord Bowser @ May 3rd 2008 11:52AM
As I've said before, Uwe Boll is my personal hero. I'd lay down my life for the beautiful man. We the people should support Boll in his quest to destroy Bay and what he represents: the bland bourgeois of the film industry. We should all go see Postal; but multiple tickets (one for your best friend and one for your lover, as well as one for yourself). If we don't support high minded European art Cinema like Bolls, it's a possibility it could die out, and there'd be only be us, the people, to blame.
So I implore you, you beautiful people reading this, go out and watch Postal. Go and tell your friends. Your lovers. Go and preach the word. Spread the gospel: Postal is coming, Postal is coming, oh thank God, Postal is coming.
Noshino @ May 3rd 2008 12:54PM
You were being saracastic, right?...RIGHT?!
Lord Bowser @ May 3rd 2008 1:01PM
Wow, the Boll haters are out in force today, eh. How are we to support high minded European art cinema when the jackals of Joystiq are so vehemently against our Noble Boll? Open your eyes people: this will be a great movie, nay, the greatest movie. The greatest movie of the summer. The year. You just gotta give it a chance.
Noshino @ May 3rd 2008 1:07PM
yah, you were being sarcastic...
jman @ May 3rd 2008 4:25PM
Art? are u fucking kidding me?
Uwe boll is just a piece of shit that produces pieces of shit...no we dont need to go see his movies we need to pretend like he doesnt exist so he can stop giving movies a bad name.....postal is coming.....and its going to be complete shit
Ethan @ May 3rd 2008 12:11PM
Bring ten Transformers tickets.
jackbauer(ssbb:0087-2222-7531) @ May 3rd 2008 12:17PM
nah im bringing ten bad boys 2 tickets. greatest movie EVAR made!
horngreen @ May 3rd 2008 12:14PM
Would I be required to sit through Postal 10 times cause that's not going to happen. This kind of shit is what makes the Net a beautiful yet scary thing.
Roto13 @ May 3rd 2008 12:18PM
I thought Postal was straight to DVD.
I think this is his way of saying he's going to jump Michael Bay in the street or something.
DangerMouse @ May 3rd 2008 12:23PM
Sweet. I'm marking September Zirtieth on my calender.
Delgado @ May 3rd 2008 1:33PM
I like you, you're funny.
Whats your gamertag?
CarpeD1em500 @ May 3rd 2008 12:30PM
I love how he says 9/30, then the poster behind him clearly says 10/30....
What an idiot...
RitzKrave @ May 3rd 2008 12:38PM
Don't feed the Boll! Seriously that man is as annoying as the other attention seeking guy named "Jack Thompson".
Boll already seems to get enough attention that he can get money from a casino advertising on his shirt besides promoting his own sh*t!
t_m @ May 3rd 2008 3:42PM
Yeah.
Can we simply ignore all new relating to JT and UB? It just encourages them, and its almost always totally self-manufactured and pointless.
(what are you doing fernando, encouraging this kind of thing???)
Scilent @ May 3rd 2008 12:43PM
"Pearl Harbor is zee wurst war movie ever. If I made a war movie it would be wolfenstein and it would be the most amazing thing ever."
Brad @ May 5th 2008 12:38PM
Unt I wood make it in tree dea... dat is vat I vill call zee film... Volfenztien Tree Dea!
Dark @ May 3rd 2008 12:43PM
This is the only way Boll ia gonna get people to buy tickets for his movie.
Dark @ May 3rd 2008 12:44PM
*is
LeChuck @ May 3rd 2008 12:47PM
Even if the fight were true, who in their right mind would buy 10 tickets to Postal and travel to Zaire to see it?
Kujel @ May 3rd 2008 12:58PM
Uwe Boll of course!
josh @ May 3rd 2008 12:53PM
Obvious publicity stunt. What a scheisse face.
BPM [SSBB: 5026 4120 1186] @ May 3rd 2008 12:52PM
How can the Postal movie be a franchise-wrecker when the franchise was already a wreck?
I hate to say it, but the only thing the movie do is make Postal look... not entirely horrible.
Kujel @ May 3rd 2008 12:59PM
The games or the movie(s)?
Kujel @ May 3rd 2008 12:53PM
I'll just bring ten bootleg copies of his movie :D
Noshino @ May 3rd 2008 12:58PM
Even the video about the "confirmation" of the fight is bad! BLARGH!
playwhutyalike @ May 3rd 2008 1:38PM
As a director he should know that you can do things in more than one take. Maybe they don't have editing equipment in Germany?
Noshino @ May 3rd 2008 1:48PM
or maybe he has yet to learn how to use it?
Hashbrown Hunter @ May 3rd 2008 1:28PM
Fuck Uwe Boll. Enough said.
Lord Bowser @ May 3rd 2008 1:32PM
Articulate thoughts FTW.
BigD145 @ May 3rd 2008 2:13PM
Assassinate Uwe Boll. Enough said.
playwhutyalike @ May 3rd 2008 1:30PM
I'd love to see Paramount give this douche a huge budget for a film. Watch him sell out faster than a shelf full of Wiis in front of soccer moms.
(PS, Wii60 here, yo)
Hashbrown Hunter @ May 3rd 2008 1:43PM
Uwe Boll is walking down some street. He notices something.
"HEY!" He yells as he points a finger to a man. The man turns around and looks back at him.
"OH SHIT"
Uwe pwnage commences.
