I mean, honestly it should have been just a nice comedy celebrity charity w/e thing but what part about Boll was it exactly that made LT think he has a sense of humor?

lol honestly I wasn't there for the planning phase, but it really comes across like Lowtax thought he could out-tough Boll and that he'd actually kick his rear end and prove in front of everyone that his movies do suck. (They really do.) Like, you got all the way to accepting the German's challenge, you're in the ring, playing up your footwork, he's about to crush you, and you know it's gonna hurt cause he's defending his career and his hobby and you're a webmaster. And then to spin that as "lol why so serious? I'm the real winner here"... well... seems sorta sour grapes

What? In what universe was that supposed to be a serious fight? Lowtax may have been a dumbass but Uwe Boll is a psycho.

It was a Deadspin editor (Tim Marchman, that was his name) who criticized Ted Cruz and then dared Cruz supporters to the fight. I wanted to link you to an article, but the major hits on Google are all right wing sources and gently caress if I want to give any of them the page views.

Apparently the Murdoch sons are embarrassed to own Fox and have been trying to tear out the most conservative aspects from the inside and turn it into something more CNN like; hence O'Reilly, Ailes, etc.

The rumour is that if James Murdoch acquires Sky News like he's been trying for years, then he's going to immediately cull all of the worst aspects of Fox so that the American branch doesn't taint his new global media empire.

Haha what do you mean? You don't agree to fight a crazy stranger who's upset at you as a joke! That's punching down, and in this case getting punched back harder. "Yeah heh guy beat the poo poo out of me for dissing him on the net. after I said he should and tried to fight him. Who wouldve guessed he was taking it seriously i mean i wasnt"

Uwe Boll was/is a more famous person though? And Kyantax is very difficult to punch up at from a purely physical perspective.

What I'm saying is we need to get lowtax back on the path to cultural relevance and have him fight Tommy Wiseau

I worked on an embarrassing number of Uwe Boll films (i.e. more than zero) and he referred to Rich as "Richard Lowtax" several times when I talked to him about the fight. I'm pretty sure he thinks that's his actual name.

e. I can still hear his wacky German accent in my head... "richard LOWtax"

doverhog posted:

I remember reading an article about how Boll's movies were made mostly for accounting reasons. Like, the studios got a tax benefit for doing them or something like that. So, I'm pretty sure he knew they were garbage.

Ding ding ding.

Germany used to have a program intended to encourage investment in the domestic arts -- investors in German movies were allowed to write off all production costs, only paying taxes on the returns from the movie. So, funding garbage movies that never turned a profit was a way to reduce your tax burden, and if combined with some other tax loopholes, you could actually make money in the end.

They ended that program in 2006, and Boll has struggled to find funding ever since. His last two attempts to crowdfund movies were failures, and he announced his retirement as a director last year.

By all reports, his restaurant gig is actually good, and hey, good on him for finding something in life to be legitimately good at.

Seems pretty obvious to me. Shop guy gave him an estimate, ends up it wasn't the whole problem and he needs to do more to fix it, costing more, laptop guy says no way I'm not paying that, gimme my laptop I'm outta here, shop guy says okay pay me for what I already did, guy says no gimme mah laptop.

Pepper spraying him was pretty over the top and possibly illegal, but he was legally owed the payment. And having to charge him in court would be a pain in the loving rear end.

The legal question would be actually what he said to him when he dropped the laptop off, and whether he had him sign anything.
