Raging Boll Super Battle Brawl

2 months ago, I made a post about Uwe Boll challenging the internet community for a boxing match that's going to be held in Vancouver, 23 September. Now he got a sponsor for the event, and the rooster have been announced:

"GoldenPalace.com Presents Raging Boll.

The challengers are: Carlos Palencia Jimenez-Arguello from Madrid, Spain. Webmaster of www.cinecutre.com; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT5aD242Ey8

Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka from Lee's Summit, Missouri, Webmaster /CEO for Something Awful, Jeff Sneider from Los Angeles, California, Journalist for Ain't It Cool News, Chris Alexander from Toronto, Ontario, Journalist / Radio Announcer for Rue Morgue, Nelson Chance Minter from Fredrick, Maryland, Website Critic.

The Carlos Palencia / Uwe Boll fight will occur in Malaga, Spain early in September. The date in Spain is still to be confirmed. The actual fight will be filmed for inclusion with the other Vancouver fights. With Uwe Boll receiving a film award from the International Film Festival of Fantastic Cinema and Terror in Malaga, Spain for his work with BloodRayne, this gives us the opportunity to hold our first fight in Spain.

Setting the standard in marketing creativity, GoldenPalace.com has devised some of the most exciting and outrageous advertising campaigns in the past few years. Items such as the Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Britney Spears' Pregnancy Test, and William Shatner's Kidney Stone have garnered extensive worldwide media attention for the casino. GoldenPalace.com has also used their items and marketing to raise awareness and funds for over $1,000,000 for various charities worldwide."


Blood Rayne: 2.5/10 (IMDB bottom 100: #44)
Alone in the Dark: 2.2/10 (IMDB bottom 100: #25)
House of the Dead: 2.0/10 (IMDB bottom 100: #11)

Worth nothing though, is that his non-game related movies got a 3.5 average. I don't know about you, but on a scale of 10, that's not too impressive. This looks more like a case of denial to me, that Uwe refuses to believe that he's a bad film maker, and then project the blame on "internet voices".

Uwe Boll: "Bring it on!"
