German director boxes online critics

Uwe Boll, the director of such critical non-darlings as BloodRayne and Alone in the Dark, felt that his films were savaged so badly by online critics before their release that they had no chance to succeed, so he challenged four of his Web-based foes to an exhibition boxing match in Vancouver. While some enjoyed taking part in the spectacle, others weren't so keen. "I feel great. I feel like a very angry German man punched me in the head repeatedly," said the CEO for the Something Awful website. "He kept saying it was PR stunt and a joke, but then he comes on just murderizing me." (cnews)
