• Victory at last: Uwe Boll gives up on Hollywood and says 'f**k you' after three failed crowdfunding
    72 replies, posted
[QUOTE]German filmmaker Uwe Boll is the gift that keeps on giving. Boll, known as the “modern Ed Wood”, has made a name for himself by directing really, really, really bad movies. But, the kicker was they were made with huge budgets and big-name actors. After his alleged financing “loophole” was closed, he reverted back to the indie scene, and actually delivered one hidden gem – Rampage, his 2009 political thriller that starred Brendan Fletcher as a man with a thirst for revenge builds a full body armor from Kevlar and goes on a killing spree. It was awesome. As for the 2014 sequel, it didn’t really turn any heads, and quietly went to home video. Still, Boll was pushing forward with a third Rampage, only this time utilizing crowd sourcing to get it financed. His first attempt was embarrassing, collecting $6,375 of his request $100,000. We thought his latest attempt was more reasonable. Still, with only 4 days to go, fans are voting “no,” pledging $25k of the requested $55k.PR stunt or not, Boll took to YouTube to take out his rage on the crowd-sourcing platforms and “fans” of his work.

well i mean he's got enough money to play golf until he's dead
No, fuck YOU Boll. You can't realize that you didn't get funded because [I]no one likes you or your movies.[/I] I don't understand how this guy got so much fucking money like jesus.
Rampage was so shit I can't believe anyone liked it
this guy reminds me of pete moly
Remember the time Avengers was crowdfunded
I didn't even know he was making a third.
Uwe Boll can go fuck himself, he got lucky with Postal and then never did anything funny ever again.
I would only support Postal the movie 2 just because the first one is one of my favorite disasters of all time and one of the only video game movies that somewhat gets where the game it's representing is coming from.
I honestly love this guy and Rampage, though the second one was hella preachy. Though I am a big fan of shitty movies in general. I am probably 1 of maybe 7 people who are disappointed that there won't be a third movie.
Isn't this the giant douche that literally challenged every critic that shit on his movies to a boxing match?
[QUOTE=Water-Marine;47903178]Isn't this the giant douche that literally challenged every critic that shit on his movies to a boxing match?[/QUOTE] Is that not hilarious?
My cousin once rented the Dungeon Siege movie because he's a Jason Statham fan - he'd never even heard of the games, let alone Uwe Boll. We were about twenty minutes in before I looked at the box to see how such a bad movie had such good actors in it. Took another five to find the tiny credit spot they'd given Boll - even his financiers seem to know everyone hates him. We gave up after that. And I can watch the shit out of a bad movie - I actually [I]enjoy[/I] the Street Fighter movie. But Boll manages to make stupid bad movies that are [I]boring[/I]. They're just competent enough that you can't make fun of the shitty effects or editing; the acting is wooden, not the kind of overacting you can quote and mock endlessly; the story is rote and uninventive, but not something you can really riff on. In short, a bad movie that you can't even laugh at because it's so dull.
[QUOTE=Water-Marine;47903178]Isn't this the giant douche that literally challenged every critic that shit on his movies to a boxing match?[/QUOTE] And then pussied out when someone with actual fighting skills took up his challenge.
Fuck us? We were tired of your bollshit. Fuck you.
Woah wait what, Postal 2? I would have at least liked to have known about that.
"It looks like nobody gives a shit about [I]Rampage 3[/I]" Give this guy a fucking nobel prize
[QUOTE=Hoboiam;47903106]Rampage was so shit I can't believe anyone liked it[/QUOTE] I thought it was pretty decent. I don't understand the hate for it.
I thought this happened before. Or maybe it was the other way around.
The guy who used movies as a money making ploy by using German tax loophones is saying fuck you to people for not funding him. No. Fuck [I]you[/I]. You tarnished the names of many good video game franchises by making shit movies just to make a quick buck.
Shame, I would have liked to see another Postal movie.

What a fucking child
[QUOTE=Banhfunbags;47903122]this guy reminds me of pete moly[/QUOTE] Petey Mol's games are at least slightly enjoyable. Everything Uwe Boll's ever done has been shit.
he should make a movie about GTA
ryan davis' videos on uwe boll's movies were the only good thing about his movies.
[QUOTE=Hoboiam;47903106]Rampage was so shit I can't believe anyone liked it[/QUOTE] It was filmed in my home town so I liked it. The coffee shop he goes to is one I frequently went to before the film came out The main strip he guns people down on is the main drag of our town.
[QUOTE=Moustacheman;47903574]Petey Mol's games are at least slightly enjoyable. Everything Uwe Boll's ever done has been shit.[/QUOTE] I think Derek Smart is a more fitting name, then.
Rampage 3 is an important film? Seriously? I didn't even know he made a sequel.
