I wonder what goes through a movie producers head when Uwe Boll walks in and wants to pitch him a movie.

"Ahh, it's mr Boll. Wonder what kind of shitcore he has up his sleeve now. Let's give him a few million dollars."

Or if the studio/producer is looking for a director for a film project:

"Damn David Fincher, Martin Scorsese, Qentin Tarantino and those are great, but hey, let's get Uwe!!"

Yeah.

Still going to see Far Cry if I can. Atleast I enjoyed the game.

I watch No Reservations all the time and fortunately have this episode on my DVR (haven't watched it yet, but I think I will tonight after reading this.) I'm not too thrilled about Uwe Boll, though seeing Bordain get shot was fun... and whatever, but I can't wait to see the EA campus.

It was to play around and get a bit of publicity for the upcoming movie. If he is in the finished film, it still wouldn't be enough to make me pay to see it. EA put more work to create his character in Fifa Street 3, so that would be a cool unlockable, but with age and past smoking, his stats would be poor.

I too thought the EA campus looked flippin sweet BUT then remembered how they're EA and all of that was nicety PR speak for the men with cameras.

Well, I knew uwe is a BAD director, but.... please....... PLEASE! ''something like.... yeah, whatever... let's shoot it'' ? I've got three questions now:

1) c'mon... Whatever? is he so poorly interested in making movies that he just shoot the first thing that cross in front of the cameras? (Hey, time is money, just film that, we'll work it)

2) what did we ever do to him?

3) .... seriously, ''whatever''? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

I love Anthony Bourdain, but this news is just totally surreal (in a bad way).

Hopefully though, that four second clip might just be as badass as the episode of No Reservations when Jackie Chan's stunt team choreographed a fight scene with him.

But it still won't save Uwe's track record! Please go die, sir.

However, knowing Boll he'll probably let the scene run too long and will cut to the next scene a split-second after Bourdain starts getting up (anyone who suffered through Alone in the Dark knows exactly what I'm talking about)...

While he was still a chef, he was also a fiction writer with a similar style to Elmore Leonard before Kitchen Confidential came out.

He was a really nice guy (he signed a copy of my book which was sadly stolen later) but so soft spoken and seemingly shy that we were all shocked when we saw his show.

I couldn't be happier for his success!

first he got shot but there's a big delay where the squib explodes and he reacts. Then he gets up too fast and they don't even get him a new coat and reshoot so it looked at least halfway decent.
