The worst director in the world?
Posted on May 19th, 2008
The NY Times has an interesting article about Uwe Boll, whom many consider to be the worst director working. I’ve only seen BloodRayne, which is laughably cliched and wildly incompetent. The top half of the graduating class of Emerson College (whose commencement is today … good luck, kids!) has to be better at the basic story-telling techniques than Boll is.
Still, it’s hard to call Boll the worst director in the world when this guy is still making movies. Have you seen Alexander?
I’m sorry, did you just say that Uwe Boll’s movies are better than JFK, Born on the 4th of July, Wall Street and Platoon? (not to mention the lesser Natural Born Killers, World Trade Center)
Hard to say. JFK, Wall Street, and Platoon are (imo, of couse) awful movies — cliched and/or confusing, embarrassingly vapid, with actors pushed over the edge of ham — that are technically better than BloodRayne but that plunge into the abyss of awfulness because of their pretensions. I should probably include NBK in that because I believe Stone meant it seriously, but it’s hard to tell. I have not seen WTC. And I don’t remember Born on the 4th except for Cruise’s over-acting and Stone’s obliviousness to his own manipulative excesses.
The truth is that I would rather watch BloodRayne than sit through JFK again.
