  12. He lived a very full life but will still be sadly missed. 🙁 My favorite film of his is the unreleased Fantastic Four movie which is still the most faithful adaptation of the source material to date – despite its low budget. It had heart!

  14. zero. none of them. y’all can love garbage, it’s ok. but from a rational point of view, this guy should have been drummed out of hollywood, not given an oscar. what’s worse? he passed on decent scripts because they would have cost too much. everyone who loves him wasn’t actually alive when he was making movies. loving roger corman is like saying ed wood was a genius. these guys were oddities, and that’s why they’re venerated. not because their movies were watchable. they’re not. IMHO lol
