True. He does makes valid points about how Hollywood creates the same stuff over and over and waste money.

He doesnt make any . For starters he does the same feeding off subventions and video games licences .

Its not like it was some french , german or even american indie movie director ...
He's a big part of the system , the ones with crappy (almost) direct to video action/horror flicks ..

No worries ^^ I laughed at him saying that he believes people must think it's cool to hate him. No sorry we just don't like crappy movies ;)

I guess let him make his movies but they better only be straight to DVD

I think the only thing stopping UB from creating blockbusters is UB! He lets his emotions get the better of him and it ends up only hurting him. I think he is the last face we need representing gamers as he comes across too abrasive.

I wonder where UB gets the money to make a high budget quality film but ends up kicking himself in the balls.

The odd thing is he is actually a very nice guy, very charming and easy to talk with. I have been on set during Postal and Far Cry and he was nice enough to give me a small walk on in each film. I think the issue is that he has so much passion for his work, he cannot understand why people do not see his films as he does. I know he told me once that he hates that fact that many people rate his films badly who have never even watched them as it was the in thing to do. My wife and I watched in the Name of the King and I think she summed it up well. While it had alot of issues, it was not the worst film she had seen and for what it was, it was fine for a lazy sunday DVD.

Dammit, I DON'T want this guy on my side. I'd rather buy and play Wii Fit for 10 hours a day than to have this guy fighting for me...
