Love or hate his films. You really had to respect the man for what he did. Really a loss to the world of B-Movie/Exploitation Cinema.
Absolutely. His movies were strange and perverted, but he was a master of the camera.
RIP

Not magnificent, but certainly distinctive. RIP good sir.

Really, man!
I'm still trying to find out what the heck the point of
A Virgin Among The Living Dead was...but then again every time I saw that hot blonde in the see-thru nightgown with nothing on underneath, I suddenly forgot what it was I was looking for in the movie! :bouncegiggle:
I've enjoyed several of his movies. Really appreciated his attitude - he wasn't egotistical and didn't have any elevated opinion of himself; he just wanted to entertain people and give us stuff to enjoy.
RIP Mr. Franco.

I see no problem with that at all. I'm at my happiest when I'm at work, working with the only thing that I truly understand: film. Just that, nothing more. :teddyr:
