Uwe Boll has a message for all of us.

Not open for further replies.
Uwe Boll really is the Ed Wood of out generation. He does passionately believe that he is a great film maker while every around him says otherwise. I can't fault him on his frustration for Hollywood though. That rant in the second video is priceless.


Also love that he has black and white framed photos on his wall of him beating Lowtax. Classic.
 
You are safer giving your money to Uwe Boll than any first time director. Uwe once directed and completed 4 movies in a single year. The movie will get made, and 1 out of 10 times it might be watchable. The other 7 times it'll likely be so bad it is good. The other 2 times it'll be so bad as to be boring.

I thought Germans didn't speak that way and that it was an exaggerated form only present in parodies. I was wrong.

Also, 'Retarded Chinese Alibaba Idiot'. LMAO. WTF?!

Alibaba is a Chinese tech company, so he's complaining about people tricking foreign investors with star power. lol
 
If I ever find a magic lamp my third wish would be for Uwe Boll to get a ban proof gaf account.
 
Never seen a single movie of his.

Know very little about him.

But that second video is fucking hilarious. Takes a real genocidal nasty turn at the end..but still hilarious.
 
When I saw his "FUCK YOU ALL" message, I thought the Kickstarter had already failed and he was being super mad. But... it's not over? There are still 71 hours left to go as of now, and he posted this update yesterday. He seriously couldn't wait 4 days before telling anyone reading his Kickstarter updates to go fuck themselves? Lolololol. Amazing.

What? Seriously!? Is this supposed to be some kind of a publicity stunt to reach the goals?

I don't know. Every game news outlet are reporting this, there is noting such as bad publicity right?

Edit. Oow.. He updated the page with the link of his video.. Oh well.. Hah
 
This made me watch some clips from his films to see what it is all about. Those Rampage films looks like school projects.

And I am not talking film students here.

It wouldnt surprise me to hear Uwe shot up a bank or something one day. You should watch both the Rampage movies he is basically a radical extremist now. I mean in a way they are nice venting mechanisms for the greedy fucks at the top and how they screw everyone but on the other you watch this stuff and actually feel like you are watching people that genuinely believe they need to go and hang all the rich people they see from trees.

What makes it great is that the amount of actually rich people that get killed in the movies can probably be counted on one hand. Uwe can't even make a "kill the rich" movie right.

The first one is kind of symbolic to what Uwe Boll really is; a petulant child, screaming for attention and willing to go to great lengths to get it. Rampage was nothing but a frustrated person's jerk-off fantasy of how he would self-righteously retaliate against the world in the most violent way possible.

In the first video he also says something like "I have enough money to just play golf the rest of my life"
 
This is the same guy that invited his critics to a "PR faux boxing match" and then beat the crap out of them. What did you expect?

Oh Uwe Boll...

I'll always remember the time I went to the cinema and nothing good was on, so we catched 'Dungeon Siege: In the Name of the King' - It was so bad. Easily the worst movie I've seen in cinemas alongside Dungeons and Dragons, but it was also pretty high up in the so bad it's good category. We had so much fun watching this movie - they were dropping the worst of acting with one bad idea following the next. And there was no one else in the room, so it became our own episode of MST3K pretty fast.

If you are looking for a 'so bad it's fun' movie, look no further. Watch this to see Perlma, Liotta and Statham in their worst movie.

That sounds... awesome.
 
Considering he makes video game movies, I thought Rampage would be about this:

I like the guy. I like crazy guys in the film industry that give no fucks and make what they want to make. Say what you will about him, but it takes real fucking balls to make a movie like Rampage or Assault on Wall Street. So I hope he doesn't retire permanently. I am glad he's still producing though.
 
I won't lie. Until this thread was bumped, all of this is new news to me. I didn't even know he failed (twice) to fund for a new film.

It failed but it wasn't like he needed the money. The Kickstarter for Rampage 3 was a PR thing. Right after it failed, he announced it was going to be funded anyway.

Very, very simplified, he exploited a tax loophole that caused investors in his films to be able to write off their investment if the film in question didn't turn a profit. In short, it was in his own interest to make terrible movies nobody wanted to see. That loophole is now closed, so he's unable to get any funding now.

I don't know the exact details but basically the laws in Germany meant Uwe Boll could use his movies as tax shelters. I think investors could write off their whole investment and they'd only start paying tax on any profits the movie made, so Uwe Boll could make shitty movies on huge budgets and nobody would have to pay any tax as long as they tanked.

EDIT: Or what that bloke said ^^
 
I fucking love Uwe Boll and his movies. They're really unique and shitty in an entertaining way. He does have a few moments of greatness there too, namely Rampage. Rampage was a good movie. I also liked Assault on Wallstreet. Had a blast with Far Cry.
 
Last I heard about this guy he was trying to knock out Lowtax from the somethingawful forums(and other internet critics) because postal2 got laughed at over there. It's amazing he's still going. That being said I quite liked Rampage, I'm also 100000000020200102% sure Uwe Boll has no idea what made that movie work and any subsequent rampage movie was guaranteed to be ass.

Click Here to watch Uwe Boll attempting to murder a guy after telling him they'd be playfighting.
Look at this shit nearly a decade ago and this guy still doesn't accept the fact that he should probably find a different occupation.

Excellent!
and weird...
Thanks.
 
He seems really passionate about film making. He's like a film version of Florence Foster Jenkins. She was a terrible singer that thought she was absolutely killing it with each performance but really the audience treated her performances like comedy shows and just went for a laugh.

I've read that the porn film Caligula was made for the same reason, and was a money-laundering scheme for the Italian mafia. They were not happy that it became a popular cult film and made money.
 
I was at the PAX where they announced a special surprise guest, and out walks Uwe Boll. It was like nothing I've ever seen, and he answered questions and everything. Lots of boos and mean-spirited questions. I actually felt bad at the time. But a couple years later after seeing more of his movies I stopped feeling badly.

Isn't that the plot for Mel Brooks' The Producers?
