There would certainly be no RLM without corman, on several levels. Whether that be a good or bad legacy, well that's what our posts determine

He absolutely is. He gave so many actors, directors, and writers their start.

He was an actor best known for his role as "Roger Corman" in the classic Beverly Hills, 90210 episode "Fade In, Fade Out". Not much more is known about him past that.

He was best known for his small role in Godfather 2.

Edit: but seriously. Go check out his wiki page. Look at the people who got their start with him. He’s the daddy of New Hollywood. He also introduced people like Bergmar, Fellini, and Kurosawa to U.S. audiences.

Speaking of Andy Serkis, has anyone seen Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes? I liked the first two of the newest movies, but haven't watched the third one so don't know if it starts going downhill.

I went to see it. It was... okay. A 2 out of 4 star if there ever was one. Especially because I went to see Fall Guy a few weeks ago, which was just a perfectly paced and written "action movie," so this just felt stodgy and like it wanted to be more than it is.

I remember really liking the first three movies, but this one just felt kind of tortured and vision-less compared to that. I went in with an expectation of: Okay, we finished the "trilogy", now they're gonna subvert expectations by doing the flip side of the original movie, but from the side of the apes. So I'm expecting the human who can talk (gasp!) to be an astronaut, Raka to be Dr. Zaius, etc etc. Then as the movie goes on I'm realizing they're *not* doing this, and at first I'm a little relieved that they want to tell their own story, but their own story was so bad I just wanted to see the campy re-imagining instead.

I suppose it suffers a lot from having to rebuild its entire cast, but none of them are likeable; the protagonist, Noa, is shown as quiet and brooding and is supposed to be smart and respected by other characters for it, but it's all unearned; he arrives in the eponymous Kingdom, and the King Proximus is meant to be the antagonist and villain, but he just hosts a dinner for Noa and tells him his plans and just lets him do whatever he wants to foil said plans. There's a brief pat on the back congratulating him on fixing a taser as if it's an impressive feat; if it's supposed to be impressive than who made all the loving tasers they're using in the first place?? Then there's more Action scenes and the King shows up and decides to kill Noa, which backfires on him. Happy ending, although... can apes and humans co exist??? And the humans have a cure for the virus(?) that was saved on a hard drive, so presumably the next movie will be about : Can humans and apes co exist??? Which was just the plot of the first trilogy.

It feels like it could have been an actual interesting movie or set up for another trilogy if they had treated it more seriously. Show the apes assembling an actual society that mirrors the evils of humanity's past societies, like, you know, an actual Kingdom, instead of just a guy named King who may as well be a generic Marvel villain with no followers or servants or anything.


It's probably the exact type of Hollywood Blockbuster that Mike could actually see a lot of potential for an enjoyable movie in, and they reviewed the other planet of the apes movies, so they might half in the bag it. I'd have to go rewatch their reviews of the old ones to get a sense of how much they'd tear into it though.

Francis Ford Coppola got to direct his first movie because Corman rented a castle for another movie and they wrapped on that a week ahead of schedule so he was like, "hey kid, we already paid for this castle for another week, can you make a movie with that?"

I motion that for the rest of this weekend this thread is the official Roger Corman Story Thread

https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2023-10-02/ron-howard-joe-dante-salute-roger-corman-beyond-fest

quote:

Before the start of the panel, two surprise tribute videos were played. “Tár” filmmaker Todd Field, who acted in three films for Corman early in his career, celebrated his “amazing, unparalleled impact on so many in the industry.” Field also recounted how, at a test screening of Carl Franklin’s “Full Fathom Five,” Corman declined anything from the concession stand before the movie while Field got a large tub of popcorn. At some point during the movie, Field noticed Corman’s hand sneaking popcorn from his tub.

“And I thought, smart guy,” said Field. “This is why you’re Roger Corman.”

Corman himself: “I think the great heads of studios in the past understood that motion pictures are an art form and a business, and you have to understand both of those things,” said Corman, sitting in the back seat of a car parked behind the theater. “I think one of the problems today is that the new heads of studios understand only the business, and they don’t understand that this is also an art form.”

Deal with it.
Corman is something else, he made nothing but crap but was incredibly important in the careers of most of the greatest living directors and actors in Hollywood today, especially Coppola and Scorsese, so everyone rightly loves him.

I just learned there's an alien race in star trek named the breen (sorry never watched deep space 9)

has this ever up come up on RLM? seems like perfect fodder for mike to edit some neil breen and star trek together

they all wear sealed suits with helmets that you can't see into, so it is entirely possible they all look like neil breen
