      I genuinely do not understand how he keeps doing it. Apparently the initial surge was just a grift on German tax codes, fair enough (not really but it explains it), but that’s supposedly not the case any more.

        It started out as tax fraud, but he genuinely started to enjoy directing and making movies (unless there is some sort of tax fraud scheme that we don’t know about).

    Isn’t this the guy who gets stunt performers injured through negligence and then acts like it was their fault?

    Sorry I was actually thinking of Paul W.S. Anderson, the guy who directed the Resident Evil movies.

    The only good movie this man has ever done was Postal. And that’s not saying much, because it would he hard as fuck to fuck up a movie based on a comedic game with zero plot or taste.

    I also think the funniest shit in that movie was that Boll played himself as a pedophile nazi. Still not sure if it was satire or telling on himself… 🤔

    I sometimes enjoy trashy films. But Alone In The Dark is so fucking boring, it’s probably the worst film I have ever seen.

      I have seen some other Boll movies, but not Alone in Dark. I was actually planning to watch it tomorrow.
