Yea, because Steven Speilberg, Peter Jackson and Martin Scorsese are
going to start making video game movies when Boll quits, not some
other sh.t director just like him.

I haven't seen any of his movies, and I don't plan to. I have no idea why
anyone would want to prevent him from making them, though, as they're free
to choose whether to go watch them or not. If people continue to pay to see
his films, then why should he stop?

The disease of the world isn't carried by individuals only. It's something
we all have, and only we can govern changes for the better.

That said, if you could get the whores of Hollywood to go along with it,
then a new system of payment would do a great deal to prevent people from
making a living by delivering crap entertainment. How about you let people
decide for themselves what something is worth, and then letting them pay
that amount in some convenient fashion. Probably wouldn't work, because
people are cheap in general, but I wouldn't mind paying good money for a
good film.

How about selling "movie-cards" for an amount of money that could be
anything. Then, place some kind of convenient transaction consoles near the
exit of all theaters. People would place their cards and donate some cash.
No matter the donation, the amount of films watchable should be set
according to the cost of the card. So, for 100$ cards the amount could be
anything from 5-20 movies. Of course, you would need to register with the
card upon entering the theater, to properly prevent you from exploiting the
system by never actually donating. It would check next time if you've been
flagged for non-donation.

That way people decide for themselves EXACTLY how to vote for movies, and
the money would be divided according to real value - not perceived value.
The minimum amount is to ensure people wouldn't go entirely bankrupt if they
made a decent effort.

Hollywood whores: are you listening? ;)

That would work.

I should write a sci-fi novella based on this *cough*

That one seems to have helped. Almost 142k signatures now...

Not really sure why I should care. There are plenty of directors/producers
out there making plenty of crappy movies. Boo hoo, he took a dump on some
arguably mediocre video game franchises in the process. If he's happy taking
a bath on every movie he makes, more power to him. /shrug

I just don't get the zeal that people show toward this guy. So he makes bad
movies. There are 100's of others out there just like him doing the same
thing. I just watched "In the Name of the King", and, while it wasn't great
by any stretch, it was worth watching (though I still /boggle a bit at the
casting - it was kind of amusing, actually).

People need to figure out some way to disengage their state of happiness
from some movie/video game franchise.

OMGZ!!! HE BUTCHERED DUNGEON SEIGE!!!! NOOOOOOOO0OO0ooo!!!!

The cast consisted of Burt Reynolds, Leelee Sobieski, Jason Statham, John
Rhys-Davies, Matthew Lillard and Ray Liotta. Evidently many of those
actually in the know seem to think he's competent enough.
