Should we Finally Give YO-MAN a Heave Ho?

Oh Saturn, I so knew you would go there... I have come to accept that everyone has their preferences, their "movies" that inspire and reach their heart.  And because Sly has done that for me, yes, I am completely able to overlook the movies he made that did not inspire me (in any way, shape, or form).  As long as this thread has gone on, it is REALLY time to agree to disagree.  Those that get a vote have the say, those of us who don't vote, can only sit by and watch what happens, while knowing that just as much as the lack of "attaboy" awards haven't kept us from enjoying, and admiring Sly... the receipt of a Razzie will not either.  So, decide for yourself.  And I'll do the same.  I do find much entertainment here though! 

Maybe we could make a movie out of it...and Sly could direct!

Well, Sly isn't learning from his mistakes, but neither is Uwe Boll. Based on IMDb, he has two movies in pre-production Hades. "BloodRayne 3" and "Zombie Massacre". Are these the movies he will atone with? Doubtful. Unless BloodRayne 3 will be one of the few movies to break the mold and be the best entry of a three part movie series, that's not going to redeem him. And unless Zombie Massacre is going to redefine the horror genre like the original "Night of the Living Dead" or the original "Halloween" did, that will not save him either. Sly peeked in his career at one point, but Boll's career has been dim since the word "go," and it doesn't look like he's doing anything to make it any brighter.

PS: Funny story about the BloodRayne movies ... my friends and I were in a FYE and saw the BloodRayne movies together as a two pack in the discount bin. Together, they cost $19.99. A minute later, we found "BloodRayne 2" for $17.99 -- Yes, that means that as part of a two pack, "BloodRayne 1" was being sold for just...$2! OUCH! 

With all due respect, with the threat of losing ALL studio backing and budgeting, if Boll or Seltzerberg had a masterpiece in the waiting to release, I think they would have done so by now. I think even those three have the common sense to realize, "Gee, I shouldn't waste 5 years of my career making a string of lacklester movies that are critical and commerical disappointments. I should really make a good movie before no studio in America will touch any product with my name on it".

That's Boll's and Seltzeberg's status right now. They haven't had any homeruns this last season and are in danger of being sent back to the minors or being forced into early retirement. If Boll had an original idea in his head that had nothing to do with sex or violence driven video games, he should have released it by now instead of doing "Postal". If Seltzerberg had a smart and funny comedy instead of one and a half hours of random pop culture references, they should have made it already, instead of doing "Disaster Movie". 

We all talked about George W. Bush here. Like Boll's movie making career, Bush's career as president was one bad mistake after another. Now that Boll doesn't have the German tax loophole or any studio to back his movies, the chances of he somehow pulling an instant classic out of thin air are about the same as Bush somehow lifting the country out of the slump he has put it in within the next 10 weeks.

I understand what you're saying, but at the stages of their careers, Boll and Seltzerberg making the next great American movie is a pipe dream. It would be like Edward D. Wood Jr. trying to make the successor of "Citizen Kane" after he released "Plan 9 From Outer Space". Hollywood may be forgiving, but if you're a proven failure time and time again, H-Wood drops you like a bad habbit.
