Actually, I read/saw an interview with Foley where he said he did it just out of morbid curiosity to see what it was like to work with the most hated film-maker in the world.

But Foley is brilliant and NEWSRADIO is the most under-rated masterpiece in sitcom history.

This looks so truly bad it would probably be hilarious with some mates after a few drinks. Like 'The Marine'.

Word is that Boll exploited a certain German tax loop-hole where film investors were guaranteed 100% tax write-off on any movie that loses money.

So in essence these people were paying Boll to make cinematic bombs. And clearly he has acquitted himself admirably in this regard.

But I've heard that this loop-hole has since been abolished, and Boll's distribution almost instantly dried up. So now it's pretty much certain that he'll never get a movie theatrically released again. Even though he's got about five movies in the can, including FAR CRY.

I watched it on Netflex Streaming with my 360.  It's actually my favorite Uwe Boll movie.  Take that for what you will.

Dave Foley kind of takes me as the kind of guy who'd say "Yes this is a terrible movie but **** it, I'm getting paid stacks of cash."

@foeaminute: This I think is the first movie that is absolutely honest about that fact that it's horrible.  I think I would laugh a lot at this movie at its badness and absurdity even though sadly the joke is on the film.

The presence of Dave Foley is what really makes me want to see this movie.  Hell if it wasn't for Paul Giamatti, I wouldn't have enjoyed crap like Lady in the Water half as much.

Agreed, I want more than anything to be the fly on that wall when people raised their hands in agreement with this.  Because I just can't see it in my mind's eye.

Jesus that was a funny TANG. Every part where Ryan said the word "Fuck" made me spit ice cream. I should mention I watched it while eating ice cream.

I dunno, I still think the movie works (to an extent) because it knows it's terrible. And unlike Uwe Boll's other movies, it actually moves from scene to scene without losing track of anything...not hard, I guess, given how stupid the plot is, but still.

Let's take a break from Uwe Boll movies next week....

Although this is the worst movie on TANG (perhaps just in general), it was the most entertaining episode of TANG.

Just be content in the knowledge that after the utter failure of his $60 million LOTR rip-off IN THE NAME OF THE KING: A DUNGEON SIEGE TALE that Uwe Boll will now be releasing his bullshit DTV from now on.
