"What belongs to porno?!"

He's apparently saying he should direct the "or something" that belongs to porno. Pretty straightforward actually...

It seems as if he feeds off this sort of press like some sort of attention starved leech so why don't we as gamers and film buffs, instead of signing a petition, all make a pact not to post news stories or talk about the guy. Total radio silence on any thing related to Boll or his "films."

That's what I've been saying about Jack Thompson...

And Cliffy B...

And David Jaffe.

But at least those last two guys actually do stuff.

Uwe Boll and Jack Thompson should adopt a child and get married. Their child would probably advocate anti-gaming-violence by making crap movies about Paper Mario.

Some of his movies are terrible, some of his movies are passable. Truth be told, I actually laughed my ass off while watching Postal through Netflix. Nothing I'd watch again but worth a chuckle nonetheless. But people do so love a villian and pretend this guy is the worst director ever.

To which I say, REALLY?!? Apparently you people haven't seen a single movie made by USA, SciFi, or Lifetime in the past 10 years if you're still clinging to Boll being the "WORST MOVIES EVA!" He's not good but there are a hell of a lot worse and since his movies are only really hurting his trolls, let him keep doing them. Boll is rapidly becoming the Orsen Welles of our generation. A large assortment of bad to mediocre films but he'll keep making them because he actually enjoys making movies.

if he enjoys making movies, he should take a tip from the people who made that half life miniseries. their budget (however much it was in the end) is waaaaaay smaller than boll's and theirs turned out great while boll's usually are crap. $19 million could be used for a lot better things.

Whoever directed 'The Medallion', 'Master of Disguise' or 'Daredevil' are the worst directors ever. Boll should be given a million 'Best Picture' oscars compared to those films.

Actually, Uwe Boll didn't GET like that until he put up with two straight years of video game fans giving him shit. Eventually he snapped back and I loved every second of it.

Here's why. Us gamers? We CAN and often are pricks. Take a look at the outrage over the bad House of the Dead movie. Think about this for a second. Gamers bitched that the plot made no sense and it only served to have people shoot guns at zombies for an hour and a half. On Noes, Uwe Boll has destroyed a beloved video game franchise that's known for it's compelling narrative. He must suffer like G did. Uwe Boll is attaching himself to shit games, man.

As for why he makes game movies, he's answered this before. They are the easiest movies to acquire and finance for him. I mean nobody is going to see German Fried Movie or Seed from him. But he's got a group of people who go see the latest video game movie "just to see how bad it is." And considering Uwe Boll has yet to reach the level of shit called Super Mario Brothers or Dead or Alive, I'd say he's doing quite well. And actually getting better.

The problem isn't that he makes shitty movies, it's that he takes licenses that people like and makes them into shitty movies. Granted, it's hard to make a good movie based on a videogame, but at least give it a chance by not knowingly giving the license to someone that has fucked it up every single time.

I wouldn't know. I've never seen any of his flicks. He hasn't made a movie of a game I like yet, and if he did...his reputation precedes him.

300 contributers x 20% of film's annual profits= 6000%

Am I reading something wrong?

Well since he's not going to make any money off such a flop, he has to get too-much money to make the film and keep the change.

300 people will share 20% of the profit.

Say he makes $100 (unluckily) then 300 people will share $20 each, which is about $0.06 each.

"...potentially upcoming "terrorist disaster epic". We assume he's talking about the plot of the film there, and not just previewing the buzzwords reviewers will use when critiquing the picture."

Uwe Boll is just an exploiter he isn't the problem , the problem is the loophole that allows him to exploit the system to get funding, you know who funds his movies? EU and mostly german tax payers.

The criticism should be directed at the EU

I have never watched any of his movies.
But if you don't like them there's an easy solution: not watching them.

I understand that it's fun to poke fun at someone who make bad movies, but this is just becoming bashing for bashing's sake.

IMO 99.99% of the naysayers couldn't direct a movie themselves. Even making a shitty movie requires *some* amount of skill and knowledge.

As another had stated, we don't bash him solely because his films are bad. We didn't start bashing him until he stated saying shit like what you'll read here

You're only saying that because you've never seen an Uwe Boll movie.

I guarantee you that a chimp with a camera could make a more coherent movie in an afternoon than Uwe Boll could given all the time and money in the world.

I met Uwe Boll once and told him he sucked and gave him the finger.

He didn't beat me up.

Please stop being afraid of this silly little man.
