“Roger Corman – cinema’s pulp genius whose talent to shock was rocket fuel”

Aw, man. Roger Corman died. So so many people in cinema owe their careers to him. Turns out the best dayjob for an aspiring filmmaker is to do actual filmmaking. https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/may/12/roger-corman-cinemas-pulp-genius-whose-talent-to-shock-was-rocket-fuel?ref=upstract.com

Whatever you can say about his movies, they were not boring, and I doubt there is a single person in filmmaking who launched as many careers or gave as many A-tier filmmakers their on-the-job training.

@baldur I've gotten back into watching movies hard these last few years. Hundreds of movies hard.

I'll take a slapdash, made by the seat of their pants, punk rock trash passion project over a well-made, solidly budgeted, focused-grouped to death, checks all four quadrants, monument to safe mediocrity any day of the week.
