Nzoner's Game Room>RIP Roger Corman
BigRedChief 09:46 PM 05-11-2024

Roger Corman, one of the most influential movie directors in my life, has passed away. It was my privilege to know him.He was a great friend. He shaped my childhood with science fiction movies and Edgar Allen Poe epics. I'll miss you, Roger.

Guy knew how to make enjoyable films with no budget. RIP

Side note: Didn't know he apparently had such an influence on John Carpenter.

Dude was key in giving some of the movies biggest stars and directors their start. Folks lik3 Martin Scorsese, James Cameron and Francis Ford Coppola.

Jack Nicolson got his start working for Corman.

Also, if you were a kid in the early 80s, pre-Blockbuster days, Norman films were a staple in every mom and pop video rental store.
