RIP Roger Corman

[ophiuchus]

It Conquered the World. The Little Shop of Horrors. The Intruder. X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes. The Masque of the Red Death. The Trip. Targets. Death Race 2000. Battle Beyond the Stars. Humanoids from the Deep.

I’m grateful for countless hours of film-watching fun, and all the talent both behind and in front of the camera he cultivated. He lived a good long life; it’s still sad to see him go.

He did produce a number of masterful horror flicks in a lengthy career. RIP.

Saw him interviewed once and he was asked if he felt bad that he never won an Oscar. He replied no, and that he made up for it by making money with every movie he ever made.

Probably the most influential director of the last half of the 20th century. Just look at the people he mentored.
As for the Academy, winning is all politics. The nomination is more meaningful in terms of actual regard. And it doesn’t support “renegades”.
