QuoteLegendary B-movie king Roger Corman, who directed and produced hundreds of low-budget films and discovered such future industry stars as Jack Nicholson, Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro, has died. He was 98.

Corman died May 9 at his home in Santa Monica, Calif., surrounded by family members, the family confirmed to Variety.

"His films were revolutionary and iconoclastic, and captured the spirit of an age. When asked how he would like to be remembered, he said, 'I was a filmmaker, just that,'" the family said in a statement.

R.I.P.
Is it October yet?

I've enjoyed many of his movies over the years.

R.I.P  Roger and thanks for the good times. 
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

Wow.  Roger Corman.  This feels like a big day for bad movie fans.  How can you say you like badmovies without having watched dozens of things he's had his hand in?
