You know whats funny?

With as many posts as I see about people hating on Uwe Boll and his movies and saying how terrible they are. The simple fact is, you still watch them. If you don't like him or his movies....don't watch them, it's simple.

In my personal opinion, he seems to be successful in doing one thing...making movies people watch. It doesn't matter if they are good or bad, in the end its a paycheck for him because people pay to watch them. If people didn't watch his movies, and he didn't make money, then he would probably stop.

Some of his movies are like train wrecks, you can't stop watching them...they have some entertainment value, especially Postal. Although I must say, reading all the negative posts about Boll's movies make me want to watch them that much more to see what you guys are complaining about.

There is much much worse out there...

You're unemployed aren't you? Quit hating people you've never met and get a job, lazy sucker.

hey, i actually saw RAMPAGE, STOIC and DARFUR and everybody around me
who saw this movie also ranked all three movies between "fantastic"
and "masterpiece". In the screening i went a big agent from ICM said
about DARFUR that this was the best movie of the year he saw. so all
the IMDB 9 and 10 rates for that movies are actually from the people
they saw that movies and all 1 points are from this guys who try to
damage BOLL and bring him out of business because its trendy. Boll
fights a lonely fight and he improved massivly - this 2 movies
together with TUNNELRATS are not average - they are actually better as
almost all other movies of the last 10 years. and if ou would actually
watched them - you would agree.

I understand he's interested in making the bio of Lawrence Welk, but have him be a sadistic roller pin modeler. Some greatness there, nodoubt.

To the OP: I don't have to pay to see his movies. I watch them when they come on Showtime or something. I wouldn't pay to see his movies because I know they suck, same reason I don't see Michael Bay produced horror remakes. And while we're on the subject of money, I know for a fact that House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, Alone in the Dark 2, BloodRayne, BloodRayne 2 and Far Cry all lost money and didn't even come close to breaking even. So obviously your theory on him to stop directing when he doesn't make money is wrong. The German goverment is the only thing that keeps him going because they basically fund and pay for German made films even when they lose money. Hence that's why he gets to keep directing. Because people are definately not seeing his films, definately not enough to keep him going.
