Should be renamed to Tax Loopholes and How to Exploit Them.

Quick Uwe Boll life story:

  • He learns there is a way of producing movies that - no matter how unprofitable they are - can still turn a profit for him by taking advantage of tax loopholes.
  • He proceeds to produce awful movies and doesn't give a shit about their quality. They just need to be made and create controversy, because that is free advertisment, because some idiots will end up buying those movies and believe watching god-awful movies is somehow "cool" or "funny".
  • He becomes famous for being the worst director of all time.
  • People keep complaining about him, but don't realize they're being played like a fiddle.
  • He then produces a documentary about being an asshole and awful movie director and hopes to turn a profit with that as well.
Solution: If you are smart, ignore this guy, don't give him money and don't watch his movies.

I remember reading an interview with the writer of Bloodrayne. She sent him the the first script draft thinking it needed work and wanted his thoughts, and he calls her up going THIS IS GREAT!! WE'LL START FILMING IMMEDIATELY!! She was horrified, and once the movie was out she discovered that he'd also just ignored her dialog and had the actors improvise most of their lines.

Ok I love this movie for how insanely stupid it is.

I remember being in the theatre watching this (it was a matinee, cut me some slack) and saying to my now wife, "You know what this movie needs? Ninjas."

30sec later 4 ninjas come out of the trees and we both start laughing hysterically.

When I think of Uwe Boll, I think about Bloodrayne, how the fuck he got a cast with Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Madsen, and Ben Kingsley, and it's hilariously awful sex scene.

Look at the average poll of people who still support the current US president after each new atrocity and despicable act or statement. The idea that evil people couldn't possibly exist, let alone in significant/noticeable proportions has never been anything but a myth, it's just overlooked or ignored outright because there's no optimism to find there
Oh, I don't disagree. But if 35% or whatever it is of the population qualify as psychopaths, the term kind of loses much of its meaning. We might need a new one.

I'll never forget when I watched House of the Dead with my friend. We were both big into film back then and rented it just to see if it really was that bad...and yes, it was. We rented it and Thirteen that night.

What I'll never forget is that, even though it was only 8 or 9pm and we were pretty young, we both fell asleep at the exact same part during the climax of the movie.

He doesn't have the weird likability of a Tommy Wiseau or anything. He's just a dude who makes shit movies.

He also chickened out when Seanbaby accepted the challenge.

He knew Seanbaby would have crucified him.

Actually, as I understand it, he avoided anyone he thought might give him even a decent challenge and stuck to those he knew he could dominate.

What's really gross is that he could have made the whole thing a light, breezy exhibition match and instead beat the shit out of those guys in a way that was nothing less than disgusting.

He's not only a hack, he's a bully and a coward.
