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."

    Relevant to Rampage 3:
    Rampage [imdb.com] Ratings: 6.3/10 from 13,738 users
    Rampage 2: Capital Punishment [imdb.com] Ratings: 6.3/10 from 3,317 users

    Also:
    Assault on Wall Street [imdb.com] Ratings: 6.1/10 from 14,852 users

    Plus, Postal's opening scene contains the best 9/11 parody ever, [youtube.com] the rest of the movie doesn't live up to it, but that scene was genius, especiall that it was nearly 10 years ago.

    A bunch of fanboys tells you nothing about a film. Hence the linking to the metacritic scores.

    Assault on Wall Street: 24/100 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2368553/criticreviews?ref_=tt_ov_rt

    The other two weren't even deemed significant enough for any professional critics to see them and rate them, apparently.

    However, that Postal clip was indeed hilarious. Very non-PC, offensive to anyone with a broomstick up their arse, but freedom to offend is a far more important right (namely one that validly exists) than the freedom to not be offended (which is some modern invention that doensn't really exist, nor should it).

      A bunch of people with a variety of economic pressures to distort their views, like industry junkets [ericdsnider.com] and the ever weakening seperation between church-and-state. [forbes.com]

      As if Uwe Bolle has fanboys. lol

      Like who, exactly?
