The Citizen Vigilante saga the last week on Twitter has been phenomenal.

>People know it's retard kino.
>People start poasting piracy links.
>Director directly interacts with fans & yells out NOO DON'T PIRATE IT. I FUNDED IT MYSELF & IF YOU WANT MORE GO BUY IT.
>People say I don't want to give money to the distribution company.
>Uwe Boll says FINE, THEN PAYPAL ME $10 TO SUPPORT THE ARTS!
>Poasts real PayPal email linked to him for years.
>Donations flood in. :pepeSuit:
>Uwe Boll poasts the entire movie in full quality on X for free for *48hrs.

Nigga it really is that easy. Make good content, ask for money after so you can make more. Watch money roll in.

I am positive his distributor Quiver (yes they are :hands: ) is going to take well to him circumventing their deal to directly profit off of views. :laugh_derp:

I watched it. I initially gave it a 4/10.

It's a b-movie. I get the feeling that making Scorsese level work is just incredibly fucking hard, and the most that most people will ever manage to accomplish is b-movie level stuff.

That said, there's a huge subtext to the film, and if you get it then it's maybe more of a 5.5 or even a 6.

It's still a b-movie, but the subtext is nuanced and there's more to it than a plotless copy of V-for-Vendetta.

@cjd @pyrate @catmanmancat

the definition of a B-movie usually boils down to
- low-budget
- lesser known/uknown actors
- focus on a genre (as a consequence)

but no one can claim there are no low-budget movies with lesser known/unknown actors that have depth or quality to them. A movie can be low-budget, feature unknown actors, and still sweep awards at film festivals. It's not the budget, it's not the actors, Boll was always known for 'less demanding' stuff. And I wouldn't say this is his fate, it's his decision to do what he does. And to slightly defend him here, and others like him, if there is a time and a place for high art, there is also a time and a place for low art. Not every book needs to be a Dostoyevsky. And in the current cultural moment, his movie seems to have accomplished something.

I'm okay with bad ballistics, I just want a police raid on a building to look like they're following some kind of a protocol. Having a detective rushing in with a bunch of SWAT team, standing around talking without having cleared every room, etc - it breaks immersion...

I can tolerate a little bit of bending the rules. If they needed the detective to be blown up, they could have had a camera / bomb in the wall that was remote detonated when he was standing there.

The worst offense is the scene with a whole bunch of cops rushing a fortified bunker and then standing there while he reads them some lame script and then proceeds to mow them over.

What I thought he was gonna do was take a position across the road and pick them off while they scramble down that ridiculously long super exposed one-person-wide staircase of death.
