Uwe Boll Vs. Chris Kohler!

Uwe Boll, it seems, just can't win with the press these days. First, the New York Post defamed his version of Postal, and then there was the fallout from the movie's premiere at the Castro Theater in San Francisco. So, after sending a bunch of nasty emails to Chris Kohler, he agreed to a phone interview with the "dump journalist" and proceeded to dominate the conversation with his rants. One of my favorite moments during the read-through included this golden nugget of philosophy:

UB: Read your own review. You trashed that movie as garbage. You trashed me as, like, untalented guy. Read your own review. You went far over the top. I don't know, if you were choosing a movie like Next with Nicolas Cage or Ultraviolet or Elektra, and you see Postal, and you don’t find anything positive in Postal, then fine. I think you're not a good film reviewer, you're not a good journalist, and you are out there in one of the Boll-bashing circles and nothing else is interesting for you.

...

And if you read Variety today, in Variety there's a good review today, and maybe you think the Variety guy is an idiot because he has not your opinions. Or mention the San Francisco Chronicle and tons of other people. And I think it was a totally over-the-top unreasonable damaging bad article.

Seriously, if I were Boll's PR manager, I'd probably have to drink myself to sleep every night with a full bottle of Captain Morgan. Incidentally, the review from Variety that he mentions (I searched for one by the Chronicle, too, but there's nothing on their site mentioning the movie), while not oozing with disdain like other reviews I've read, isn't exactly kind to Boll's baby, either:

For every genuinely funny idea, there are others that play flat, while many others settle for scatological outrageousness of a non-envelope-pushing kind.

Boll does mean to provoke, but to pull off a satirical critique of the volatile subjects here would require sharper wit than he and co-scenarist Bryan C. Knight generally provide.

Right now, I feel a little insulted... I mean, I've made fun of Boll plenty of times, including drawing cartoons of him on a couple of different sites. Hell, I proposed kicking him in the nuts in order to raise money for his next movie! But do I get challenged to boxing matches or yelled at on the phone? Of course not. But, judging by his nonsensical logic, it's probably because he thinks I'll turn him gay or something.
