Corman's World

documentary

Interesting, worshipful doc on the man who made a lot of money making shitty movies. To his credit he gave some fine people a start in the business...Coppola, Scorcese, Nicholson. He did it by giving them nothing to work with, preying on their raw ambition and hope, and keeping all the money for himself. A true capitalist.

I was surprised when, in an interview, he said he resented being called a schlockmeister. What else would you call him? Apparently he's delusional too.
