Uwe Boll, known to videogame fans as the director of numerous game-to-film adaptations, including Postal, Alone in the Dark, and House of the Dead, has released a profanity-laden rant aimed at crowdfunding. The video comes as a Kickstarter campaign attempting to fund production of his latest project, Rampage 3, limps toward its conclusion with less than half of its goal and fewer than four days remaining.
"Basically, my message is, f**k you," says Boll, "because it is so f**king absurd what retarded, amateur idiots [are] collecting money on that absurd website." Boll goes on to complain about the crowdfunding system's failure to deliver on his expectations.
With the campaign appearing doomed, Boll claims to have decided to give up on the project. Despite his opinion that it is, "an important film," Boll acknowledges, "nobody seems to care about Rampage 3, so, I guess I shouldn't do it, then."

I was surprised that Rampage 1 was actually a really well made movie. The main character was a believably acted, the plot was engaging and it had an actual interesting twist that wasn't telegraphed from the start.
Also 1968 Tunnel Rats different than most war movies in a good way. And while the Postal movie average overall it did have some really funny moments. Including Uwe playing himself telling the audience that his movies were funded by nazi gold.
So while he has made some stinkers he has also done some good work , just like lots of career filmmakers.
