I'm always having trouble with the US justice-system. If his out-of-jail-card costs 50.000$, this means that he is not innocent, right?
I'm just thinking because *if* he was under the influence of alcohol, he could be prosecuted for manslaughter, in which case they probably wouldn't let him go, or if he wasn't under the influence of alcohol, it was probably really just an accident, in which case I (again) don't understand why he had to post bail.
AFAIK, bail just means that he gets to leave jail until he is tried, and will get the money back after trial (unless he doesn't show up for trial).
Thanks for the Info, it made me read the Wiki about Bail. From what I have seen in the movies I would have never guessed that they get the money back.
As I read the title, I wasn't really sure who the director was and I hoped that it was Uwe Boll.
Sadly it wasn't Uwe :(
The movie adaptions Uwe Boll made were bad ... but not that bad that I wish him to have a car accident.
Also if I remember it correctly he stated that he wanted to go on doing more smaller productions since his last project (Dungeon Siege) seems to be a flop.
One of his projects was a flop? *gasp in astonishment*
Sorry. I think there was a misunderstanding:
What I meant was that Dungeon Siege seems to be a bigger flop then all of his other projects.
His other movies somehow paid-off with the DVD sales - still don't know why.
No, I actually understood what you were trying to say, it was just my hit on sarcasm.
If he really made it into the black with his previous projects, it is a mystery indeed. But I have to confess that I found 'BloodRayne' at least bearable, but I had so extremely low expectations when I watched it, that it was nearly impossible to disappoint me.
Seems like I have to take a look at BloodRayne if you say it was bearable.
I'm still wondering if "Alone in the Dark" had more in common with the game than the title and the name of the hero - I found nothing.
Oh and while talking about movie adaptions:
In my opinion "Silent Hill" was a pretty good one.
Btw. new Postal movie trailer is out @ http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/postal/trailer/
Now I know that the author strike is getting to me, I actually found that mildly amusing. :-)
This one's been out in the wild for quite a while, but here's one scene from the movie which, even though it's gritty, is actually quite amusing @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt_tv7t79WY
As for the writers strike: At least Stewart and Colbert are back :)
Maybe Uwe Boll should stick to making absurd satiric-comedy movies - had more fun watching those 2 trailers than I had with every movie by Uwe Boll so far.
That was a great scene, I think I'm actually going to watch that movie.
> As for the writers strike: At least Stewart and Colbert are back :)
Thank god for that, esp. Colbert.
C'mon, have a little sense for humor.
Of course I wish nobody to have a car accident.
I know that. Actually the first name that came to my mind when I read the headline was ... well ... Uwe Boll. So I actually thought somewhat on the same line as you, I just didn't write it down.
So we're on the same page, I'm just less scrupulous ;)
