I’m back in Chiang Mai, after another narrow escape from Hong Kong. Risking my life like this is starting to take its toll on me, I can tell. I’m finding it difficult to take life seriously. So, I'm developing an obsession with German director named Uwe Boll. He seems widely recognized as the worst director of our times. He also somehow keeps shoring up new funding. This is unbelieveable, as every movie he makes not only flops, but is also subject to some of the most passionate, hostile criticism I've ever read- by genre affictionados and critics alike. A man worthy of such strong emotions is a worthy man in my book.
The man gets really big names to star in his movies. After 3 disastrous move flops in the last five years, he's now busy with a two-part "Dungeon Siege" movie and a "Far Cry" movie. I've braved the thunderstorms here in Chiang Mai to nip out to 7/11 to buy a copy of "Bloodrayne" in my bag now- his latest disaster. Now, here's a list of actors you might recognize:
- Christian Slater
- Ben Kingsley
- Ray Liotta
- Ron Pearlman
- Michael Madsen
- Meat Loaf
Amazing isn't it!!
Update: Turns out it was dubbed in Thai. Tried to look for it undubbed, but an English version copy is impossible to find here in Thailand.
