The Roses of Heliogabalus (1888) by Lawrence Alma-Tadema seems like such a fun place to be ♡

When I say "Roger Corman made countless movies and some of them are really good," that sounds like an insult, but it's not. If your job is cranking out another movie every three days and you manage to create 5-10 masterpieces, that is amazing. RIP to the father of the indie film.

It's pretty hard to understate just how important Roger Corman was to cinema. His career ranged from directing cheap B-movies, to distributing foreign films, to script editing for 20th Century Fox, to cameoing in Silence of the Lambs. He was responsible for jump-starting the careers of so many like Jack Nicholson, Martin Scorsese, Peter Bogdanovich, Jonathan Demme, Joe Dante, the list is just endless. He was instrumental to the distribution of European and Asian films in the U.S., singlehandedly bringing Fellini, Bergman, Truffaut, and Kurosawa to mass American audiences and creating a market for these films where there had been none. The man had the single most interesting career in the film industry anyone has ever had, and he never stopped loving movies. RIP to a legend.

In memory of Roger Corman, who passed at the age of 98...

As requested by @algusunderdunk, this gif collection of Corman and Vincent Price's work over the years.

Rest in peace, sir. You're a legend. Tell Vincent we say hi.
