Whaa whaa no-one actually wants to see my movies, whaa whaa.
The guy just has no idea, does he? Does he genuinely think his shoddy movies, made solely so he could make a quick buck, are some kind of auteur masterpieces that we're all fools, blind fools, not fund for him? Dude needs a reality check, since he clearly hasn't gotten any real cheques in a long while

Little known fact; he only pumped out that much trash because he was abusing German tax law, making shit tons on each flop!
Maybe now he will get a clue that to really bring out any reputation he has established for himself, he will need charisma. One can be the most talented director in the world - piss off enough people, or make people so indifferent to your project(s), and all of that will reflect back at him at release-time.
Hell; there are people on Kickstarter that meet their goals for inane projects like making their first bowl of potato salad. Want to know why? Because these people have charisma, and know how to sell themselves.
In the case of Uwe Boll, he failed to sell himself properly, and still has not figured out as to what he is doing wrong.

Ah, there's something about seeing twats have their bullshit dreams fall down around them that's so...satisfying.
Whenever I see Uwe Boll mentioned, I can't help but think of this comic: http://collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=637
OT: What a turd

Get the popcorn out tent! Awwww~ yeah!
On the side of Uwe, there is one kind of screwed up thing that stands out. The people coming out and saying, "I will fund you for %10." That's not really what kickstarter's about, and I can understand venting one's frustrations about that.
On the other hand though, Kickstarter requires you have a good idea. and it strongly helps to have a name people also can trust. Uwe has neither. So, C'mon here, are we surprised this tanked?
Edit: HAA! The captcha let me describe Coors as "rat pee" I am soooo~ Pleased!

If this website had signatures, I would steal that and make it mine. Pure gold.fix-the-spade said:
In any case, this is sad, not because Uwe Boll is going to stop making movies (that makes me happy) but because it shakes my humanity a little bit every time an adult who has enjoyed some success acts like a 2 year old who threw his candy in the grass and realizes that he isn't going to get a new one.
This is glorious! It's amazing that someone can be so deluded. He honestly thinks that he's a genius filmmaker.
I swear, Uwe Boll and David Cage need to be villains in a Super Best Friends Play RPG, with the Zaibatsu trying to stop the ultimate team-up in shitty, video game based media.
Capta: Folsom prison. Maybe that can be a level.

Also, Canape's avatar is Chie Satonaka from the Persona series, which was really why I felt compelled to comment.
Before I watch this, let me guess: Germany closed the tax loophole which allowed him to game the system and use his shitty movies as a money laundering scheme for foreign investors, he tried getting a movie funded on KickStarter, everyone told him to go fuck himself, and now he's being a salty ***** about it?
Praise Jim! He is sensible! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Screw us, Uwe Boll? Well, if that's the way you feel then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P155qPVaPMASilentpony said:
BWA HA HA HA HA!
I credit the man with chutzpah, in as much as he's made a career out of hedging German tax laws and snagging some modestly high-caliber talent for his films during moments of weakness. But chutzpah only gets you so far, and the world of crowdfunding isn't like some tax-shelter loophole: you actually need a reputation and a promising pitch.
...And the irony that "retarded, amateur idiots" could pull off what he could not just really never penetrated, did it?
