Director Uwe Boll Swears Off Kickstarter In YouTube Rant

[Johnny Novgorod]

I've said this before: the rants look more troll-ish than genuine.

Could someone post the video but from a different source? I just don't want to give him any money but I need a good laugh.

 

[FPLOON]

I don't know why, but I find the title of the video to be hilarious for some reason...

Other than that, I said it before and I'm saying it again:

I feel like you're targeting the wrong... uh... target here, Mr. Boll... I may not care what the right target is in this situation, but I'm sure if you calm down and think about it in a rational way, I'm sure the real target would reveal itself to you in due time...

With all that said, you did remember that crowdfunding was, and still is, a gamble right, Mr. Boll? Right? *blinks* ...Right??

On the one hand, I'm so happy to see this hapless halfwit fail and am enjoying his little tantrum. On the other hand, he does have a point, because if you put a gun to my head and I had to chose, I'd rather have Boll be a Kickstarter success than a certain someone I dare not mention by name. At least in Boll's case, everyone knows he's full or shit and no one takes him seriously.

Also, shouldn't "fuck you all" be under "stretch goals", or something?

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Is this the same guy that The Game Theorists just did a video on a few days ago? Must go check...

Yes! Yes it is. That's...kind of weird, actually. At least, timing wise. Considering what that video said about him and how much money he made, it's uh...really hard to feel any type of sympathy whatsoever for him. I mean, besides the fact that his video makes him look like a brat.

Why doesn't he use his own money to fund this "important project" since he clearly has so much of it?

i just had to smile all the way through. if he his last statement means he is quitting filmaiking all together that would be even better. have to admit though, that rampage was actually good. i have rented it of course but it was surprisingly good that i had to check the box to make sure if its really a boll film.
but well, no tears will be shed over him. especially since he sounds like a spoiled brat who doesnt get what he wants.

This is always the fun part of the movie: when the crook realizes he can't fool anyone anymore and thus has a massive breakdown.

 

[bossfight1]

I'll always smile when I think of Uwe approaching Blizzard for the rights to a Warcraft movie, and Blizzard replying thusly:

But, yeah, Uwe's probably the lowest of the low when it comes to cinema; the shitty movies are one thing, but the way he treats everyone who points out how shitty they are, just makes him a despicable human being.

Good...

I call that retribution from the community. Boll, what were you thinking? You are one of the worst movie directors since Ed Woods, all the Internet knows it, and yet you expect them to be genre blind enough to pay you? What could be possibly gain from it? There was a time were I would take part in a kickstarter to make you stop making movies altogether, but I won't pay you to have more from you...

And after that anal speech?

 

[Zulnam]

You shouldn't be so hard on retarded, amateur idiots collecting money, Boll; seeing as you helped spread the idea of the successful and mediocre entertainment entrepreneur.

Hope you live up to 90 without ever making a hole-in-one, you Mussolini of movies.

 

[alj]

Way to act like a spoiled child you idiot !

 

[sorsa]

In Uwe's world Uwe is a misunderstood genius. And the whole world has to suffer for it.

 

[medv4380]

Please play golf for the rest of your life. My children should hear of the Legend Uwe Boll that destroyed dreams not have their dreams destroyed by the Monster Uwe Boll in their lifetime.

I gotta say, I like Uwe Boll as a character. Maybe not as a filmmaker or a person, but as a personality, he's rather interesting to say the least.

 

[Action Jackson]

I'm going to swim against the current and say that I'm sorry Rampage 3 probably won't get made.

Shitty attitude, behaviour and past filmography aside I did enjoy Rampage 1 and 2 quite a lot.

 

[Indy_no]

Retarded Wizard In The Forest needs to be a film, though - that sounds awesome. Crowdfund away!

It would be so awesome if someone actually started a kickstarter to make that movie, and get it funded. Of course it would have to be a serious campaign, about making some kind of movie with somewhat of a plot (and probably be better than any of Uwe Bolls movies)

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

Wow, that's kinda....sad.

Not "awww " sad. Just "Dude, really?" kind of sad.

Look, there are plenty of talented, but obscure people who get overlooked on Kickstarter (nods at Nine Dots Studio). But Uwe Boll? He's SUPER widely known! So the reason he's not getting money isn't because he's too obscure and the system isn't treating him fairly. It's because most people (rightly) feel he's a no-talent hack!

So there IS a God. And he's a gamer.

Dude, you're JUST NOW realizing that we're all just NPCs in a game of Sims?!
