Uwe Boll Goes Postal

FilmStew has up a nice little piece about
Uwe Boll's response to a critic's response to his latest film, Postal, and
it's a laugh-out-loud doozy. Among the more coherent charges levied at
Wired writer Chris Kohler? That he "wrote that article in bad faith to damage me — his whole goal is to destroy my business," as well as the fact that "people like [him] are the reason that independent movies have no chance anymore." It gets even better than that, though, trust me.
I've interviewed Boll a couple times before (even talking about
Postal, which he said would be "like
Falling Down,
but funny"), and he's got a bit of a hair-trigger temper, no doubt. He also speaks, though not quite as heavily accented as you might expect, in a garbled manner that certainly shows English is not his native-born language. But
it's useless trying to parse constructive criticism with him, because he then just gets wildly excitable and starts making even less sense than usual. Dry sarcasm, that's the way to go with Boll; give him enough rope and let him hang himself...
