If that were simply the issue, the petition would not exist. The problem comes from the fact that you can't make a movie about a game that's already been done. Nobody can make Alone in the Dark, Far Cry, House of the Dead, BloodRayne, etc. Most of these I don't really care for, though I would have liked to see a quality rendition of Alone in the Dark. As long as he's making shitty movies, concepts that a large number of people would love to see done well are going to be done poorly and will never be able to be given a chance. And your analogies are completely off man. Comparing it to dunkin donuts employees trying to get somebody to quit Starbucks? It's more like 1,000,000 Starbucks customers telling you to quit. The people who are signing this are people who want quality movies for their favorite franchises. The point isn’t that the movies are bad. If that were simply the issue, the petition would not exist.

Luckily he was denied Warcraft and Metal Gear Solid. But sadly he made Far Cry (one of my favs!). Watch the trailer and see how pitiful it looks, and listen to the music. Somehow he got the Batman Begins music! He can't even make his own soundtrack! Just wait til he turns one of your favorite games into a movie! Luckily he was denied Warcraft and Metal Gear Solid.

I think I'm with ya, I'll go see Postal just to spite some people. And probably hate it. But that's ok, some things have to suck, and he has always given me his best in those respects (and yes, I've watched some, not all, of his work). No way in hell would I sign that!

Bono? nah. Cruise? Who cares? But I hate Ewe Boll. I appreciate your position, "hey if you don't like his films don't go see them, C'est la vie". But I don't think you understand and the fact that you haven't seen his films tends to confirm this in my mind. YOU. DON'T. UNDERSTAND. Do please go and see Postal. Then you will be ready to sign MY petition, the one to have him murdered and his house burnt down, and maybe Germany bombed again. Yes my friend. See Postal. Then.. <i>you will be one of us.</i> I don’t usually waste my time hating innocuous pop culture buffoons. Bono? nah. Cruise? Who cares? But I hate Ewe Boll.
