I know, I know, no one has posted their Corman tribute reviews yet (mine’s coming, honest), but I couldn’t let this pass without note:
Happy 82nd birthday to Roger Corman!
Update: Someone fed me bad information. Why? Why would someone do that? Don’t they know that every time someone falsely celebrates Roger Corman’s birthday, a kitten dies? DON’T THEY?
(It is, however, Ennio Morricone’s 82nd birthday. So the cake and streamers don’t have to go entirely to waste.)

I’ve been grabbing Shout Factory’s line of his 70’s/80’s flicks recently. He’s looking pretty damn good for 82!

Did Wikipedia screw this up? They list his birthday as April 5, 1926 (making him 84).

Gaah! Someone gave me bad information! (“But I saw it on the internet, so I assumed it was true!”) Boy, do I feel sheepish.

And today, in turn, we bid a sad farewell to Dino De Laurentiis.
Alas, poor Dino. I knew him, Horatio; well, okay, no I didn’t, but that little “De Laurentiis Productions” logo in front of the original Transformers movie made me happy anyway.
…What? I was a young’un, I didn’t know from nuthin’.
