EXCLUSIVE: Uwe's message to the 'Boll Haters'

"So another statement to all the Boll haters here out in the web. I don’t know what I take away from you? But in a way, I get so many hate e-mails like I take money away from! But its not the case! You are responsible that you don’t make also movies, it’s not my problem and it’s not my money what you would get to make your own movies if you get me out of the business. I don’t even know why you get off on me like crazy because I’m not in the Hollywood system. I’m the opposite basically and maybe this is the reason that you all hate me so much because I prove that you can do it outside the system. And that you cannot come up with cheap excuses why you never make it, You are not able to make more than your mini DV video at home with ketchup and your little brother so I really think you should wake up at one point and you should put your jealous bullshit away. And if you write me, you don’t write me with some bullshit nicknames out f the internet write me with your name and address so that I can track you down and rip you apart. Thank you." - Uwe Boll
