...defenseless." His other challengers may not be so lucky. 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 it was featured in the HBO series Entourage-that when his request to fight Ain't it Cool?s reviewer who slammed BloodRayne was turned, he agreed instead to battle Jeff Sneider, a freelancer for the site who had never even seen one of Boll?s movies...

This year the Department of Education expects about 14,000 parents to request such a proceeding, which Peter Wright, a special-ed attorney in Deltaville, Va., likens to a cross between a nasty divorce and a medical-malpractice suit.
