In remembrance of Roger Corman, im watching Teenage Caveman, which i have to say is actually has a good premise. It was a story ahead of its time. I think with a good budget, effects, and maybe in a limited series format, it would be amazing. The ending totally surprised me. The whole movie not being in the past but a nuclear age future? Amazing!

I know its a tired trope nowadays, the way this film played out but man. Back then I wouldve lost my shit if I saw it for the first time in the 50s. Like the ending to the og planet of the apes.

One of the greatest tributes to Roger Corman ever made was in the finale of the MST3K episode that riffed his film, It Conquered the World. They had lots of laughs at the film’s expense, and yet when all was said and done, the jokes died away and they settled into rapt awe at the final speech by Peter Graves. And then they played it three more times, plus teasing a fourth. Because it was a damn good ending.

Even when Corman’s films were cheap and goofy, there was a core of workmanship quality that made them worth watching.

RIP Roger Corman (1926 - 2024)

Hollywood, and pop culture at large, would be utterly different without him, in good ways and bad ways. But at least you can say that he found a way to make money filming the edgey and oddball scripts he often wrote himself, his way.

Rock 'N' Roll High School (1979) is my favorite one that he produced, and it only is as cool and weird as it is because he had the freedom and wisdom to let the young people working for him try something new and strange with what little money and time he gave them.

Fans of MST3K owe him more than anyone. Because while few of his movies were good, at least they were never boring.

He made this one, Night of the Blood Beast, about a giant space parrot impregnating a man with its shrimp babies, in 1958. That was the same year the rest of Hollywood was still releasing G-rated Westerns and big musicals starring Danny Kaye.

American art would be a far dryer place without him.

Thanks for that, Roger.

1961's The WORLD of ICE and FIRE

I'm going to do it. I'm going to self-indulge!

The Roger Corman ASOIAF production post is mostly just a novelty, but since I'm me, I have a lot of FEELINGS and OPINIONS about this cast. Naturally.

Anyway. Here's how well I think the actors in my post would play their roles, from worst to best.

#19, Worst: John Ashley as Robb Stark

You know how Ben Affleck has a face that knows about emails? John Ashley has a face that knows about sock hops. Woefully miscast.

#18: Tor Johnson as Gregor Clegane

God love the big guy, but I've only ever seen him make this face. Also, despite his repertoire of roles suggesting otherwise on paper, he just doesn't seem like a mean guy.

#17: John Agar as Jaime Lannister

Another terrible choice. The only reason he's not ranked as worst is because his soulless performance would make viewers interpret Jaime as an absolutely irredeemable sociopath, which at least would be... uh, interesting, I guess.

#16 Robert Reed as Renly Baratheon

Renly, but only if he was the most boring Baratheon. Go ahead, try to picture Reed eating a peach. You can't.

#15 Dawn Bender as Arya Stark

Aw, she'd try. But I feel like her attempts at Arya's fire would mostly come off as petulance.

#14 Richard Carlson as Ned Stark

Sorry, what? I fell asleep for a minute there.

#13 June Kenney as Daenerys Targaryen

Kenney would try her level best, but you know Corman would do a terrible job incorporating her storyline with the main plot, so she wouldn't have much to do except lounge around on mildly offensive orientalist sets and talk to her force-perspective dragon puppets. (Stop-motion you say? What, you think American International is made of money?)

#12 Dolores Faith as Sansa Stark

Again, no knock to Faith, but as with Daenerys, I think a 1961 production would flatten Sansa's character away to nothing. She'd get to pine and wear some nice dresses.

#11 Anthony Dexter as Petyr Baelish

This guy can play oily like nobody's business (check him out in 1962's Married Too Young), but 5D-chess-level deviousness might be beyond him.

#10 Michael Dunn as Tyrion Lannister

Full disclosure: I'm plopping him in the middle because I've never seen him in anything! The only little person I've personally seen in Corman's movies is Billy Barty (playing an actual, literal imp), and Dunn was someone I found who was said to play much meatier roles. In general, I think the depth of Tyrion's character would seriously challenge 1960s casting directors who were used to casting little people in jokey roles or as something less than human. One of many problems they'd have with the source material, no doubt.

#9 Lon Cheney Jr. as Sandor Clegane

Here's another actor who would do the best with what he was given - which would be an essentially empty role. This Sandor would be a beast used only for jump scares, with too much rubber over his face to ever show an emotion.

#8 Glen Langan as Stannis Baratheon

Langan would be serious, but dull, with lots of droning sermonizing. In other words, perfect. Still boring though.

#7 Basil Rathbone as Tywin Lannister

Who better to play a role totally owned by Charles Dance than an actor who's even Charles Dancier? The only reason I'm not ranking this legend higher is because I do think he'd kind of sleepwalk through this role, especially at this stage in his career.

#6 Raymond Burr as Robert Baratheon

The future Mr. Perry Mason was damn good at playing hard-drinking, prowly, "beastly" men. See him in this fabulous trailer for 1951's Bride of the Gorilla (spoiler: Burr is the gorilla). Of course, for this production, he'd be about 10 years on from that virile role, but that's perfectly on brand for Bobby B.

#5 Michael Landon as Jon Snow

Landon's tortured James Dean era would be a great fit for angsty goth teen Jon, though he might have trouble keeping his feelings as hidden as Jon does.

#4 Allison Hayes as Melisandre

Should she be ranked this high? Eh, maybe not, but this woman is a goddamn B-movie bombshell goddess. Her Red Woman would be a little less mysterious, sure, but her perfectly arched eyebrows and bullet bra would do R'hllor proud all the same.

#3 Marie Windsor as Catelyn Stark

They didn't call her Queen of the B's for nothing. Windsor always did great with roles that call for strength and verve. She'd be a fantastic Cat, and - dare I dream it - an even better Lady Stoneheart.

#2 Jack Nicholson as Theon Greyjoy

Now this would be fun. If baby Jack Nicholson had half the presence and charisma he would show in later movies, his Theon would be legendary.

#1 Coleen Gray as Cersei Lannister

If I can get Tumblr to understand one thing, it's how much Coleen Gray would absolutely eat in the role of Cersei. She's beautiful. She's a schemer. She's a helpless victim. She's back for revenge. I challenge anyone to watch her insane, murderous, fierce, gorgeous, duplicitous performance in 1960's otherwise pretty terrible The Leech Woman and not come to the same conclusion. I'm serious. There would be no survivors. 👑

Trailer

Stationed deep below the ocean’s surface, a crew of scientists are suddenly cut off from the outside world by an unprecedented seismic event. The quake causes a mysterious specimen to be unleashed, transforming from a seemingly innocuous goo into a large, bizarre-looking alien creature. Technician Claire McDowell (Priscilla Barnes) attempts to study this unexpected phenomenon, with her commanding officer, Dobler (Bradford Dillman), dead set against it.

The Masque of the Red Death (1964)

About as horny as a movie can be while still qualifying as a nod to The Seventh Seal. Vincent Price plays a sadistic medieval prince who thinks his Satanism will protect him and his friends from the titular plague. I have not watched Roger Corman outside of MST3k, and this is visually compelling and generally pretty good. Skip Martin is extremely compelling as a jester Hop Toad -- I'd never heard of him, and he didn't make many movies. It's a shame, he could probably have carried them.

When I say that housemate gives the best presents...

(MST3K fans may know these as The Sword And The Dragon, The Day The Earth Froze, and The Magic Voyage Of Sinbad. Except instead of being hacked up and redubbed by Roger Corman, these are the originals! I have especially wanted to see Ptushko's Sadko for *so long*. It's not even close to actually being about Sinbad.)
