Roger Corman is 76 today. In honor of his birthday, everyone must watch one Corman film this weekend. Showtime's playing a bunch of 'em, so you'll have plenty of opportunity.

I've already got a head start on you, having watched House of Usher and the 1995 remake of Piranha. I've got the Tivo set to record a half-dozen others.On another note, I've now got the diary set to show comments in the archive (somebody asked me about it). So now your valuable input on this nonsense will be saved forever!
