Stop Uwe Boll
tomselleck69:
Is there a "Save Uwe Boll" petition I can sign? I would rather have one man continue to make silly, harmless movies than see the dumb rage of a million nerds actually make a change.
Narr:
Harmless?
The movies always result in a net loss. Has a single one of his films made positive figures in the box office?
Basically, someone is losing money somewhere and it's not him and it's probably not the actors in his movies. Think of all the homeless people that are created because of his god-awful movies.
Surgoshan:
I have it on good authority that Uwe Boll signed a seal with the devil whereby every one of his movies will be released, but in return he has to rape a puppy and murder 100 baby penguins. It's true!

There's a reason for that.
according to wiki:
--- Quote ---Boll is able to acquire funding thanks to German tax laws that reward investments in film. The law allows investors in German-owned films to write off 100% of their investment as a tax deduction; it also allows them to invest borrowed money and write off any fees associated with the loan. The investor is then only required to pay taxes on the profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money, the investor gets a tax writeoff.

TheFuriousWombat:
I retract my previous statement in that case. If people are being forced to contribute their hard earned money to his "endeavors," than Boll is far worse than I thought.
