Stop Uwe Boll
Surgoshan:
No, they're not being forced to; they're doing it entirely voluntarily, knowing that the result will lose money, because the German government implemented the world's worst plan to bolster the the German film industry.

You can start one, but I don't see why you would want to. You call it dumb rage from a million nerds, but that's not entirely true. NO ONE likes his movies, they get panned universally BY EVERY CRITIC. Tell me one critic (who can be trusted) who has given ANY of his movies a good review. It's just that the nerds are the ones the most outraged by this because they've played the video games that he's butchering. It makes sense. If people were making a movie where Madonna was played by a giraffe with buck teeth the only people complaining would be Madonna fans, because they're Madonna fans. The rest of the people know the movies are terrible but don't really care about Madonna. If you're just seeing the rage of the nerds against him, you need to open your eyes a little wider.

The issue isn't close enough to my heart to actually create a counter-petition, although the massive backlash something like that guarantees might be fun to see.
I didn't mean to suggest that the man's films aren't lousy by all standards, or to actively defend him as a decent filmmaker or anything. Now that I think about it, the fact that he actually went and suggested it himself pretty much invalidates my point. I guess it just jumped out at me as one of those instances where you imagine what people might accomplished by redirecting the energy they spend complaining towards something more constructive.
Also, I didn't know about the exploitation of the tax loophole. If more of the signers are concerned about that than him characterizing Blood Rayne's tits incorrectly, then: damn, sorry I underestimated them.
