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."

Uwe, your message goes straight back to you from us. F**k you, because it is so f**ing absurd what retarded, amateur idiots [are] producing from solid franchises"
It isn't so much that we don't care about Rampage 3, but more that we don't care about you. The "retarded, amateur idiots" you speak of haven't already repeatedly proven themselves to be incompetent at what they are trying to get funding for. (Failure horror stories notwithstanding)

If you are already running you generally don't need a "Kickstart."
The site is pretty explicitly intended for those exact amateurs!
Sorry, but your cynical industry churn is not the intended audience.
