Re: Uwe Boll and terrible video game movies.

I do the same thing, no matter how bad reviews are I still need to see the horrors myself.
I've found through the years that I have unusual tastes when it comes to entertainment, and a lot of the popular 'classics' are movies I don't like at all.

That, coupled with the fact that the critic's reviews (not the Nostalgia Critic or Your Nostalgia Chick, though) often pooh - poohed movies that I really enjoy helped me to realize that just because they say it's bad doesn't mean it is absolutely.

I like a lot of movies that critics say are bad, and in fact I really enjoy bad movies for the most part - weird as it seems - I like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Super Mario Bros. and all of those once in a while.
I place them in the same category as Kung - Fu movies.
Sometimes they're so bad it makes them good.

Perhaps it's because I'm not a nit - picker when it comes to the details of the shows, but Uwe Boll's shows are hard not to nit - pick, I find, due to the fact that he has the technology to follow the original storylines and settings but seems to refuse to do so.
The games he adapts to film aren't 8 - bit nintendo games, either.

he makes such bad movies because of a german loop hole where if his movies don't profit, he makes money.
I remember hearing the same thing, and I wonder how he pulled the same scam more than once.
Not that it's a real 'scam' in the classic sense but really, if you were that body paying out money to a failed film maker such as Uwe, wouldn't you eventually question allowing him to do it again?

I think I would say:
'Sorry mister, your last projects were failures and it's starting to look like you do it deliberately to take advantage of this loophole.
No more money for you.'

The sudden realization you'd been doing something wrong without knowing it, then hoping it's not too late to fix it.
