In this corner, we have Uwe Boll, dark master of the horror-fantasy shitfest genre. He's gifted us with such rectally carcinogenic treats such as Bloodrayne: The Third Reich, Alone in the Dark, and House of the Dead, among others.

 

In the other corner, we have...wait, where did he go? Ahh, yes. There. He tends to blend into the background, like a vomit stain on 70s-era wallpaper. Double D has blessed us with such theatrical joys as Beverly Hills Ninja, Saving Silverman, and the current diarrhetic implosion of Adam Sandler's career including this weekend's veritable swirling bowl of apathy, Just Go For It.

 

Which of these hamfisted, talentless hacks as inflicted more cinematic pain?

Boll is the harder worker this past decade. I'll give him that. That Nazi gold has lasted longer than I expected.

Dugan shot werewolves in The Howling, so still plenty of goodwill there as far as I'm concerned. Hey maybe he could do one of them Twilight movies...

I was hoping a thread like this came along so we could all rag on how awful Just Go With It was. Dugan also did Grown Ups which, let's be fair, isn't even a movie.

 

Boll is a hustler and a bad taste merchant. Dugan is a soulless yes-man. I'll side with the bad taste merchant.

It's all about intent. Boll actively pursues the making of crap, Dugan just can't not do crap.  So Boll is definitely the blight.  At least Dugan has done one thing I liked where he was the astronaut in King Arthur's court.  No doubt that movie is crap too, but as a kid it rocked. Boll's shit never rocked and never will.

Dugan. It's a helluva lot easier to ignore Bloodrayne 4: The suckening, than it is the latest Sandler rubbish.

Boll isn't actually popular, and most of America wouldn't recognize his name. Of course, most wouldn't recognize Dugan's name, but his movies are way more, and genuinely, popular. Boll is at least unintentionally funny.

 

 

Using this math, it's Dugan that needs to be scourged from the earth.

Boll is recognized for what he is.  Dugan isn't recognized at all.  Scourge Dugan, and 10 more will take his place.  There is only one Boll.  Destroy him!  But by all means, destroy Dugan too.  I already got Happy Gilmore and got everything I need out of him (just found out he was actually in the movie too)  Hup hup!  Jolly good!

Dugan made HAPPY GILMORE, YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN and a clutch of "NYPD Blue" episodes. Boll has made literally nothing of any worth, and some of his movies have actually made the world a worser place. This is a no-contest.

Yeah, but I get unintentional MST3K type entertainment from Boll!

yea, I can put a Boll movie on during a drunken party and have a great time with my friends.

 

Dugan's movies are whats wrong with cinema today. souless money grabbing bullshit with tired actors and even more tired tropes.

I'll go to bat for Zohan being stranger and more original than Sandler's other films, but it's Dugan, so many of the best gags are botched, and the film is waaaay too long considering the subject matter.

I'm willing to, as much as I love it, sacrifice Happy Gilmore.
