RIP Roger Corman
Roger Corman had a major impact on cinema, even if he wasn't close to winning a best director Oscar. We've all seen his work and you have to admire his tenacity. A true legend.

Re: RIP Roger Corman
As a lifelong horror/B-movie fan, this one hit hard. I loved watching his interviews - he was sharp as a tack even in his 90s, and fascinating to listen to. Coincidentally I watched several of his films this past week including the original Little Shop of Horrors and Night of the Blood Beast.
He also directed one of my favorite B-movies of all time, X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes" (1963).
The impact he had on films, actors, directors, and future filmmakers is truly immeasurable.

Re: RIP Roger Corman
Yeah, losing Steve Albini AND Roger Corman in one week felt like God was taking all my favorite things at once. But Corman had a good run. He wasn’t a great director, but he was a great businessman. He also was great at fostering talent. Without him, we might not have ever had Francis Ford Coppola, Johnathan Demme,Martin Scorsese, or James Cameron. He gave them all a start and helped them break into the world of directing. RIP to a true giant of filmmakers.
One of the great stories from his career
He won. Period.
