    Contacted him through his production company, and asked if he'd do an interview. Simple as. He replied pretty quick too. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    Lol "Dorff is a prick", definitive proof folks :D.


    Good stuff Karl, I'm sure this'll help spread the word of Hungus.

    hmmm he seems very direct.


    I wonder if you can have him give some time to a thread from the boards.ie community (and judging by recent reviews alot of them here must love him)

    I cant believe he didnt try to wrestle you. Or make a horrendous video-game movie.
    Has the guy ever done anything good ever except give this interview?
    NO! NO HE ****ING HASN"T!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,592 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    He's a waste of oxygen.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 18,005 Mod ✭✭✭✭ixoy


    Hah - telling people to vote up his movies on IMDB :) I've only seen a couple (their score are deserved) but you you gotta respect the man's bluntness!

    he wasn't particularly forthcoming with information.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,057 ✭✭✭Wacker


    The guy is so up his own ass. "Postal is the best and most important movie of the century" Right. Thanks for that Uwe you total idiot.

    Karl, you should have asked him why he thought a lighthouse (if memory serves) was a suitable replacement for a massive mansion with tons of labs etc. in House of the Dead!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,739 ✭✭✭Jello


    Congrats Karl! Can't say I'm a big fan (though I've only seen Alone in the Dark) but he seems like a unique kinda guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭madrab


    you should have challenged him to a boxing match :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    I would have asked:

    Are you proud of House of the Dead? As a viewer of your own movie, how did you feel about the final release?

    Do you think 99% of people are correct in saying House of the Dead is both a dreadful movie and a concrete reason you should never be given reign over another video game adaption/movie of any genre?

    How much money did you make from House of the Dead?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭Morlar


    Congrats on the interview - that guys a dude :


    "Boll made headlines by challenging his critics to "put up or shut up". In June 2006, his production company issued a press release stating that Boll would challenge his five harshest critics each to a 10 round boxing match. Invitations were also open to film directors Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary. To qualify, critics had to have written two extremely negative reviews of Boll, in print or on the Web,.........Boll fought and won against all five participants."

    I've actually got a few other things lined up interview-wise, but I'll certainly try and get hold of Tom in future. ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,925 ✭✭✭Otis Driftwood


    Savini = Genius


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,295 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Hope you gave him SUCH a stabbing for "contributions" to cinema!

    ** makes stabbing motions **

    ;)

    According to his website you can email Savini directly so it might be even easier than getting Boll.

    Good work sir.

    Dorff is a prick, hahah.

    Boll was very easy to get hold of, and very quick to get hold of. Asked for an interview Friday, he got back to me the same day, I gave him my questions, and he replied the next day then.

    I've emailed Savini about an interview anywho, so thanks for the tip. ;)

    Good work! Great soundbyte about Dorff!

    Roll on the Savini interview! Maybe if you get more notice next time you could have boardies suggest questions?

    For future interviews, I know Harry shearer can be contacted directly by email on his website, ive had replies from him before.

    Well, I doubt he has much else to day, his films are probably shot within a week.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,946 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    The guy is pretty cool, in fairness, considering he is an awful maker of films / maker of awful films? He tries his best and he beats up critics.

    Definitely a good idea. However, in this case, I think it was best not to ask for suggestions, otherwise all the questions would be "You suck."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    Savini has replied to my mail(s) before so I'd say he'd do an interview or a few questions.

    You could try Ken Foree too ;)
