Peter Jackson also had $50 to his name when he made Dead Alive. And he made Bad Taste which may have been worse. Uwe Boll is literally given EVERYTHING he needs (star talent, funding, licencing, etc.) to make a good movie and he butchers them. He's got no directorial talent, no story-writing talent and no imagination. Worst of all, he blames the press for his "failures" and not himself. PJ at least has vision and self-accountability. Speaking of PJ, I wonder how Halo will turn out. Thank Christ MS didn't sell it to Uwe Boll's funders.
