I'm sure this will not only rule the box office but the Academy Awards too.

On a serious note, his movies seem to get a bigger budget every time. Who the hell keeps giving him greater and greater financing?

I found the answer to my question. It seems that Wikipedia was even curious on how this happens too. They have a whole section devoted to his "financing."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uwe_boll

"Maybe you know it but it's not so easy to finance movies in total. And the reason I am able to do these kind of movies is I have a tax shelter fund in Germany, and if you invest in a movie in Germany you get basically fifty percent back from the Government."

[Correction]

What I really love about the trailers for this one is that there are no 'stars' named and none of the usual 'directed/produced/written by' credits you see on most trailers released. It speaks volumes about a film that nobody is willing to see their name next to the title, let alone take credit for it.

The only film I want to see is a handheld recording of Uwe Boll personally physically fighting with every one of his critics, as he promised to do after one of his previous films came out and bombed.

He did, it took place late last year outside GM Place in Vancouver at the Plaza of Nations.

Was 3 blocks from my office. They had the ring set up and everything, I could see the scrum from the elevated train.

What a freak.

[wyrmtung]

It's on youtube. Basically he hand picked which critics he would fight based on size, weight, experience, etc. The video is boring. Just a bunch of pussies running away from Uwe and quitting when Uwe finally corners them long enuff to land a punch.

[archibaldcrane]

It honestly looks like it's probably going to be the best movie he's ever done.

Not saying much, but yeah.

[Xavier]

To steal a line, thats kind of like being the worlds tallest midget.

[Groovebox]

It kind of looks like Statham is wearing a green t-shirt and not a proper costume lol... bunch of LARPers

Opening Scene of Postal-- Extremely offensive, but pretty funny I must say.

Guy is a nut.

Well, save me a ticket for the express bound to hell, ahaha.

i usually dont mind video game movies, even doom and other no-brainers but man.. bloodrayne was sooooo awful, one of the few movies (including gummo and maybe one other--oh ya: beowulf) that i turned off without finishing

[Vistani]

Uwe Boll is a genius. House of the Dead was the greatest piece of artistic expression of our time.

[BRP]

Please don't give this man anymore money.
