Uwe Boll Sues Downloaders… Who Downloads a Uwe Boll Movie?!? May 28, 2010

Right back at you, Uwe.

Well here’s a fun bit of news. I’m sure you all remember Uwe Boll. You now, the ‘filmmaker’ who has nearly single handedly turned the practice of video game adaptations into a hopeless joke? Well, he’s been fading from the spotlight lately. Without creating terrible movies (At least ones that we know about), challenging critics to boxing matches, or putting out petitions we’ve seemed to move on from Mr. Boll. His antics have finally faded from the public eye….

NOPE. Apparently Uwe Boll must’ve been aware of this, as he’s forced himself back into the public eye…. by suing us. That’s right. Apparently, the director is tracking down people who have illegally downloaded his Far Cry adaptation. So far, he’s tracked down over 4,500 offenders, and filed lawsuits accordingly.

But I think the real news story here is that over 4,500 people have SEEN Far Cry. Seriously, who has been wasting hard drive space on downloading that film in the first place? Well, if you’re one of those people, you better destroy the evidence quickly. Not just for fear of getting sued, but also if you want to remain a respected member of society.
