Uwe Boll Discusses Game|Life On German TV

Everybody's got their shots in, now: I discussed my interview with Uwe Boll on G4, and now Boll gets asked about our exchange on the German TV station RTL II. The video, in German, is above. Here's the relevant part:

That was an unusual situation. The film was showing in San Francisco, at the San Francisco festival. It was well received: 300 people, deafening applause. And Chris Kohler came up to me afterwards and congratulated me on a great movie. He then interviewed me and wrote a review in which he ripped the movie to bits, as personally insulting as it gets.

Then I lost it and I sent him that mail, which he decided to make public. Normally, I can deal with criticism. I can deal with negative feedback. But people have to put their money where their mouth is and not tell me they think the movie is great, suck up to me and then write a scathing review. That is what I resent and that is why I reacted in that way.

This has all gone on far too long, but I should point out that we didn't speak at the Postal premiere – a friend of mine introduced me from far away, and I waved and smiled. Which is what I do. I'm nice. I did speak to the director of the film festival and told him many of the same things that appeared in my review; had I spoken to Boll that night I wouldn't have changed my story.
