Uwe Boll has a has a bug up his butt about crowd funding

[Ryujin]

So, we wonder then why Uwe has to seek crowdfunding, instead of finding some tax-shelter seeking investor?

Have his movies gotten so good that he actually makes too much profit?

I'll take "Delusion" for $400 Pat. From this brief rant it would appear that he thinks himself to be a genius. Seriously, "Rampage 3" is an important movie, that has to be made? If that's the case then it's likely that he did it to himself, so that producers wouldn't 'interfere with his creative vision.' That tends to be the reason why people who can easily find traditional funding go for crowdfunding, instead.

He likes to think he has important commentaries to say about society and politics. From his failed Postal 2 kickstarter campaign:

POSTAL 2 will finally destroy the filmindustry and the world we are living in. We could name the movie also HONEY BOO BOO must die ....but so many people deserve to die. Why starting with a child? Did Osama die? We know. And why the Navy Seals were too stupid to land a helicopter on a free field? Why did Building 6 collapse? We explain. Why is Obama is like Bush? We show you.

Where the money goes

Into the best movie ever made.

Risks and chances

The Risk is: Everybody will hate you but the NRA will love you in being part of POSTAL 2. Our bodycount will be higher as Hiroshima and Dancing with the Stars combined.

And don't forget: September 11 didn't count because Mohammad Atta took the same steroids as Lance Armstrong. But he never lied about it.

The chance is: Support the movie and show this way that you think what we think: Karl Marx and George Orwell were right. We don't live in a democracy and we are getting screwed over by politics every second of our days. Till the Dude with the Hammer and the Magnum comes.

I would say it is just the language barrier, but after seeing one of his films, that is just his thought process. And he just looks and sound like an a-hole.

Uwe has managed to make a couple of "not completely terrible" movies by accident. Don't ask me what they are--I don't remember off the top of my head. But yes, he gets all these video game tie-in movies because they fail. Take the plot of The Producers, and you have the model for Uwe Boll's career.

In a way he reminds me of Harlan Ellison. Just without the talent.

Not a chance in hell!

In case you don't know, Coming to America made something like 10-20x its filming budget worldwide, and Hollywood Accounting said it was a money loser. This prompted Art Buchwald to sue (and win) about that math.

...and not a single Uwe Boll has made money like that.

Did anyone watching the second video notice that fake Oscar on his desk reads "Best Manager"?








I'm calling Bollshhhhhh...pucky.

There is surprisingly a lot going on in that short clip. Maybe the man has more talent than we realize and "Uwe Boll", his films and crowd funding attempts are an elaborate artistic performance to denounce Hollywood.

Perhaps, years ago, Woody Allen cast a young chav from Manchester to play the role of "Uwe Boll" in the greatest beit of performance art ever...but the role took on a life of its own, and a modern day Meta-Frankenstein's monster was born...











Nah.

If so, then he's gone too far in his parody. In order to be an artistic performance to denounce Hollywood, he has to be recognizable as a valid example/image/parody of Hollywood. But, he's gone too far from that - nobody accepts him as a valid example of Hollywood. He is just himself, with even less connection to the real world than Hollywood possesses.

Or that is what he wants you to think!
