Who is worse?

[Olivia Bauer]

I'm gonna say Boll is a worse director. They are both idiots when it comes to filming but Wood actually had a vision, Boll I can't see where he's going. The both had slumps, Boll's movies went from funny bad to boring bad, and Wood gave up and made porn until he drank himself to death; but I feel that Boll's slump came sooner and his movies, even funny bad movies like Alone in The Dark weren't half as funny as Wood's films. Wood had a low budget because he was so poor but you give Boll these huge budgets and his movies completely bomb and don't even rake in half of production cost, making him a wasted investment, Wood had to scrape money out from the bottom of the barrel, going to so many terrible productions agencies, and Boll just had money handed to him and couldn't even make a good film, with Wood it's understandable.

My point goes to Boll.

Now... Cast your votes!


VS.


Yes, I blurred out Boll's hand myself. I figured Andrew wouldn't like the profanity of the image.

I've never seen the works of Uwe Boll

Wood had vision and style, but was otherwise completley and totally incompetent as to what made a movie good (or even watchable). 

Uwe has technical skill and can get a large budget and actors who know what they're doing, but he doesn't seem to put any effort into his films and shows an active distain for his audience. 

Still, Wood had Bela.  He gets points for that alone.

Honestly Wood had better everything then Boll, and the best part of all. Ed Wood's movies are actually fun to watch! Unlike Boll's.

Also Ed Wood wanted to entertain people, while Boll just wants to abuse the german tax system.

Boll --- Wood's movies are hilarious and I managed to be greatly offended by Uwe's Postal 

[Jack]

Gotta go with Boll.  Wood had extremely limited funds, but Boll gets some pretty decent budgets and still manages to make sub-par junk.  Though House of the Dead was "so bad it's good" and Bloodrayne, well, at least it had sexy babes in it.  I could barely finish Alone in the Dark though, and several of his movies after that were just run-of-the-mill SyFy Original junk.

He does give an entertaining interview though

After seeing this www.imdb.com/title/tt1236471 and being punched in the guts by it (not to mention not being able to sleep or eat afterwards), I have to go with Edward Wood. Uwe Boll proved with his locally filmed Darfur that he can make good movies. His films prior to this were not bad really, especially the riot that was Postal and the stark horror of 1968 Tunnel Rats, so Boll rules in my book.*



*No joke: if a filmmaker can make me cry, I go  and not many can.

Allowing for the decades in which they worked, the resources at their disposal, and the relative watchability of their films, I think Wood was better. Boll is worse.

Boll....I enjoy Wood's films despite how strange or cheap they are.

[Hammock Rider]

I voted Boll because I can't say I've ever really enjoyed any of his films. Like someone else said, I think he's in it for the money, and possibly to meet actresses. Those are both fine reasons to get into the movie business I guess, but he could have just become and agent and spared us all some misery.

  Woods movies are fun. You can tell he loved what he was doing. The fact that he turned out such entertaining movies with such little technical skill and financial backing is almost miraculous.

[Chainsawmidget]

Well, let's look at it like this.  If you gave Wood Uwe's budget and access to celebrities and people with talent he could have made something grand. 

If Uwe had Wood's resources, I doubt you'd get anything that even had the quality of a middle school play.... Well, actually he probably would have just shot you the bird if you told him to make a movie and then wandered off to do something else, but if he HAD to make a movie with those resources, he wouldn't have done good. 

[Flick James]

I voted Boll solely based on what I've seen. I take Trevor's word (and underpants) seriously, however.

[Psycho Circus]

Ewwwww! Boll

You missed his face.

Quite sorry, friend. Allow me to fix that. Let's feather that... Now add Gausian blur... Done!

No more of that pesky face!
