Uwe Boll

Uwe Boll churns out some terrible movies. I have no idea how he still manages to grab the rights to so many games. Do video game developers not watch movies ever?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks a lot, Germany.

Really? If true, that would be the best thing since anything ever period.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Here we go:

But crucially, the bizarre tax laws in Germany mean that any wealthy Germans who invest in a movie can write-off the production cost, delay paying their taxes and generally reduce their tax burden. When you disseminate all the boring legal business law surrounding it the bottom line is this – the German investors in a movie only pay tax on any RETURNS the movie makes, their investment is 100% deductible, so the minute the movie makes a profit, said investor has to start paying tax. Plus the investors can actually borrow money to put towards investment and write that off too. Assuming you’re a sharp enough businessman you have a potential goldmine in the making; a way to make money from investing in bad movies...

Another article said they're planning on closing the loophole which would in essence end his reign of terror. Let's hope it goes through.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
