You* thought he couldn't get worse. You* were wrong** (NSFW).

I still hold out hope that it's a terrible, terrible joke.

I will ask that you explain yourself. Please do so with the clear understanding that I may decide I am angry enough to destroy all of you and raze this sickening mausoleum of fraud down to the naked rock it stands on.

Man.

This is an insult to the survivors of the Holocaust, and an even bigger insult to those who perished in it. What a ****ing ****. Please, Mr. Boll, read your history books before you make this movie at least.

Here I was thinking he was on the right track with Rampage. How wrong I was.........

Okay, seriously now. It's a trailer. It's not the entire movie. It's not the holocaust presented as this summer's new action-comedy starring Udo Kier. It's a solemn, straight-forward trailer that doesn't bull**** about what happened. Hell, if the movie is anything like the trailer, it'll be god-awful to watch, but at least it would be respectful.

Let's divorce ourselves from the fact that Uwe Boll is directing, and just view the trailer in a neutral light. Upon doing so, would I be wrong in saying that the tone presented bears similarity to the movie Downfall? And would I be wrong to say that Downfall was actually a damn good - if confronting - film?

Yes, it's Uwe Boll. Yes, it's the Holocaust. Those are two things that should never be together. But let's not go completely ape-**** before we see what kind of travesty this could turn in to. Let's operate under the notion that this will likely be an abuse of our senses far greater than any other Uwe Boll film to date. But let's let the lynch-mob wait until the movie is released.

But the difference is Downfall was actually a well directed, well acted, well written movie. How many of Uwe Boll's films are like that?

Uwe Boll truly is the king of trolls. Question is, who's funding him? I mean he cannot possibly make enough money with his films since everyone knows that they suck, so how does he actually manage to turn a profit?

No that's exactly the point: he doesn't make any profit with his movies. At least not directly. There's some loophole in German law where the government will bail you out if you have a project fail hard enough, including movies. Boll has been making crap movies on purpose to exploit this and make some cash.

So basically, if you watch a Uwe Boll movie, you have an irresistable compulsion to be an extra in his next one?

I'm calling BS. In recent times Germany's stance about the WWII thing usually is to just obsessively avoid mentioning it at all costs. I know this is Uwe Boll, but even for him I don't think he's going to violate that taboo...

now i feel bad, and that's a feat.
could you tell me more in  the OP so that i could have got the gist -holocaust film and rather graphic at that- than just slapping NSFW on it, please spare others my fate of feeling bad for as long as i think about it.
