8 Acceptable Reasons To Walk Out Of A Movie

6. If You See Uwe Boll€™s Name In The Opening Credits

Uwe Boll is probably the undisputed king of the lowest common denominator but you€™d be forgiven for not actually knowing who he is. You€™d be forgiven, and you€™d also be blessed. For to know Uwe Boll€™s name is to have experienced truly, unequivocally, eye-gougingly terrible cinema. Have you ever wondered what it might be like to drown in human faeces? Well, sitting down to a Boll movie is probably about the closest you can get without it actually happening. And trust me, it€™s as unpleasant as it sounds. If you were a fan of Sega€™s long running House of the Dead video game series, you might have been fooled into paying money to see Uwe Boll€™s movie version (which he directed and produced) which was released back in 2003. And seventeen scalding hot showers later you might have finally washed away the disdain, as well as the top 3 layers of your skin. If you€™re ever watching a movie and you see Uwe Boll€™s name in the opening credits (typically he focuses his attention on video game adaptations, like House of the Dead, or the diabolical Bloodrayne series; but he€™s tried his hand at other genres too, with similar nausea-inducing results), then stand up, yell €œFire!€ at the top of your lungs, and run toward the theatre exit as fast as possible. Trust me: whatever the consequences, you€™ll be doing humanity a great service.
