...what does the world?s worst director do when he gets tired of such revilement? "What any successful filmmaker would do," his press release boasts: challenge his enemies to a boxing match. And so Boll, 41, a former amateur boxer with 10 years experience, has done just that. This weekend, on the set of his newest film Postal-you guessed it, another adaptation of a violent video game, set to open in 2007-he will enter a boxing ring with four Internet film critics, one after another, for a three-round slugfest that he hopes will teach critics a lesson...
...critics should be prepared to defend their opinions, says Boll. "If you read the BloodRayne reviews, it is completely ridiculous: 75% of the review is about me as a person and nothing about BloodRayne," he says. "I?m not expecting good reviews, but still, in any review there should be at least a few lines of the technical work of the movie -- who?s in it, whatever.

So vitriolic are Boll?s feelings towards the content creators at Ain?t it Cool News -a website capable of generating so much Internet buzz about a film that...
...Honestly, I have nothing better to do this weekend," Sneider says of the forthcoming bout. Not all of Boll?s contenders are taking the fight so casually. Chris Alexander, a critic for Rue Morgue Magazine in Toronto, has been training five hours a day for the past three months, and has reportedly been taking tips from punk rocker Alice Cooper and actor Verne "Mini Me" Troyer. Of the four remaining contestants, he is the only one expected to put up any sort of fight. Boll, however, is still cautious: "I have a few disadvantages," he says. "I have...
