I met Roger in the early 70’s on a film shoot - very nice man. Down to earth.

Why advertise your ignorance like that? Really all you told the world with that post is you are disconnected from it and have no idea what’s in the world you live in. Really, the “never heard of them” post is the classic example of the old tag “better to remain silent and be though a fool than to speak out remove all doubt”. People clearly think it marks them as cool, too good to know who THAT is, but like so many things the actual effect is the opposite. It marks you as deliberately ignorant.

He jumped the shark, some sort of shark, or at least part-shark, in recent years.

Can't remember if he did the one in which Eric Roberts gets eaten by a "shark". That was probably the last one I was able to make it through to the end.

Clearly you think I give a damn. The birthday of some obscure Hollyweird celebrity is of no consequence to anyone but him.

Very Cool. Pit and Pendulum, Tomb of Liegia, Attack of The Crab Monster which was on Svengoolie not to long back. Great Stuff? Maybe not for everyone, but for me anything with Price is Excellent. Live long and prosper Mr. Corman. 👿

You clicked, you posted. See when you don’t give a damn about the topic of a thread you DON’T CLICK or POST. But you went through all the trouble necessary to make sure everybody on this thread knows you don’t know who he is. CLEARLY you give a damn. I’m just telling you that the message you ACTUALLY sent is the not message you wanted to. You thought you were telling us you’re too interesting to know who Corman is, you ACTUALLY told us you have an inflated self worth and are willfully ignorant of the world you live in.

The story I heard was that someone bet Corman that he couldn’t make a movie in one weekend..but he did.
“Little Shop of Horrors” was the result. I believe it was Nicholson’s film debut (I could be wrong).
Anyway, it’s one of my all-time faves. Don’t bother with the remake with Steve Martin!!

I’m sorry, officer. I didn’t realize you were the thread police.

Just telling you the actual message you actually sent. You should understand that every single person that clicks on a thread to tell everybody they don’t care about the thread REALLY is just announcing their ignorance to the world. If you’re OK with sending that message, by all means, don’t let stop you.

A number of Corman’s movies were shown on MST3K.

You should actually read it. People who constantly they aren’t interested in a thread are doing the same thing as grammar nazis. After all, you’re the one that wants us to be impressed by how you don’t give a damn. You’re trying to establish your superiority, and like all who need to tell people of their superiority, you aren’t.

Plenty of threads go by about people I don’t know who they are. And I ignore them. Don’t have a need to tell people I’m too cool to know who that is.

He’s held up well for 90. He could be mistaken to be in his late sixties.

“Not Of This Earth”

One of the best sci-fi cilms, ever.

Very influential guy. Even though he worked in the horror genre he was a pioneer in techniques that others took into bigger movies.

I saw him interviewed years ago and he was asked why he so often has his victims walk down dark, deserted hallways and his response basically was, get's 'em every time!

They were called “B” movies because of lots of breasts....

The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent (I am a Grimolt Warrior!), Gunslinger, Attack of the Giant Leaches. MST3K Classics.

There was also X-the man with the X-ray eyes, which was a good movie actually. Death Race 2000 too.
