Roger Corman was an iconic, innovative filmmaker, all-around nice guy & captivating storyteller who gave Francis Ford Coppola, Ron Howard & James Cameron (and many more!) their starts. Plus, He and Joe Dante revolutionized how movie trailers were cut. #RIPRogerCorman

When I went to graduate film school at the Art Center in Pasadena and I finished my full length student feature film I wanted so much to show it to him but I could never find anyone to hook me up. At least not for free. And there is an ironic twist:

That's right. Dan O'Bannon pitched Alien to him back when it was called 'Star Beast'.

Thanks Courtney. You described a fraction of what Roger gave us. He lived a long life and it’s still hard to see a world of movies without him.

John Carpenter on how Howard Hawks's "Rio Bravo" (1959) inspired him to become a filmmaker: "As I got older I began to see that certain directors did certain things. One of the earliest examples of this was Roger Corman. I started going to see these exciting, fast, kind of cheesy but really fun monster movies, and there was one name that kept coming up on the screen: Roger Corman. 'It Conquered the World' (1956), 'Not of This Earth' (1957), 'Attack of the Crab Monsters' (1957), 'The Undead' (1957)... But | really understood for the first time what a director did when I saw 'Rio Bravo' in 1959. There was something about that movie that was like home and I can't really explain it. It was held over in Bowling Green for three or four weeks in a row because people kept coming to see it. I abandoned to see what was new in the other movie house in town to see this movie every weekend again and again because there was something in it that was different from the other westerns I had seen. I had certainly seen John Wayne before. He had become a part of my growing-up experience. He was the action guy, the cowboy. He was the guy in 'Flying Tigers' (1942) who was flying the airplanes. So what was so different about that movie? Then I became aware of this credit: “Howard Hawks’ Rio Bravo.” I looked at the poster and I said to myself, “Who is this guy? He didn't write the movie and he wasn't starring in it so why is his name up here? And why is he last in the credits?” All these things started to occur to me, but it was the emotional impact of the film that got me to start using my brain. Some way I figure out that this director made that movie." ("The Prince of Darkness: The Prince of Darkness", Gilles Boulenger, 2001) P.S: Remembering the great American filmmaker Howard Hawks on his 130th birthday.

There have been many masterpieces that were commercial failures, but nothing quite hurts me like the failure of Jacques Tati's "Playtime" (1968). The production costs of the movie went well over budget that forced Tati to take out large loans and personal overdrafts. Despite all the difficulties, the movie came out nearly as Tati envisioned. So much so that he said, "I’m proud of 'Playtime'; it’s exactly the picture I wanted to make. With all my other films, I could make changes, shoot things differently if I was doing it now. Not with 'Playtime'— I did it and it’s done. I’ve suffered a lot because of it, physically and financially, but it’s really the film I wanted to do." About the movie and Tati's struggles, Francis Ford Coppola said, "Tati took all of his money which he had earned and he wanted to make a film that no one would finance and he made this film and it failed. He had nothing and at the end he died in poverty because the movie he wanted he borrowed the money to make failed. People would let him to live at their house because they loved him but long after he died his movie, 'Playtime', everyone realised was the masterpiece. We all have to say 'Thank you, Jacques Tati' for giving us this because it's a joy and it's wonderful and it wouldn't have been made had he not made that sacrifice." (Quotes taken from Jacques Tati's interview with Jonathan Rosenbaum, Film Comment, 1973 & Francis Ford Coppola, Konbini, 2024)

Francis Ford Coppola’s new film “Megalopolis” cost $120m and he self-financed it (including money from selling his winery). Coppola is a legend of “going all in” and “putting skin in the game”. The GOAT example is “Apocalypse Now”, his classic 1979 war film with arguably the most insane production story ever. Let’s rewind to 1975, the year Copolla turned 36: he is on top of Hollywood after directing “The Godfather” (1972) and “The Godfather II” (1974). What does Coppola choose to do next? Make a film about the Vietnam War. The script was based on Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness”, the 1889 novel about the horrors of colonialism in the Belgian Congo. The major studios all said “no” to Coppola’s pitch for three major reasons: 1️⃣ He wanted full creative control 2️⃣ He wanted to own all of the film rights 3️⃣ The Fall of Saigon happened in April 1975 and the American audience wasn’t exactly asking for a Vietnam War film (the studios wanted Coppola to make another Mafia flick) Coppola was undeterred and made a huge bet. “The Godfather II” cost $14m and the director estimated that “Apocalypse Now” would be the same budget. He put up $7m (mostly from those sweet Godfather checks) and raised another $7m from United Artists (which bought domestic distribution rights for ~7 years). But the project was a disaster from the start. Filming started in The Philippines in March 1976 and was supposed to last 3-4 months…it would take 16 months: ▫️Harvey Keitel was the initial lead but Coppola fired him after one week. ▫️Martin Sheen (Captain Willard) took the lead role but drank so much on set that he gave himself a stress-induced heart attack and almost died. ▫️Dennis Hopper was doing 3g of coke and 20+ drinks a day while on set (him and Marlon Brandon also hated each other). ▫️A typhoon destroyed 80% of the set and delayed filming for 2-3 months. ▫️Actual dead bodies — stolen from a local grave — were used on set and the Filipino government and its strongman leader Ferdinand Marcos threatened to shut down production after finding out. ▫️Marlon Brando (Col. Kurtz) demanded a huge fee ($3m+ for 3 weeks of work and 10% of the film’s gross). He then showed up late, asked for rewrites, declined to read Conrad’s book and was so overweight that the costumes wouldn’t fit (to obscure his heft, Copolla filmed Brando in the shadows and had him wear oversized dark clothing). The budget ballooned to over $30m. To maintain creative control and maintain all the film rights, Coppola mortgaged his home and borrowed money against his ownership in The Godfather. After the success of “Star Wars” (1977), Coppola even asked his friend and business partner George Lucas — who was originally tapped to direct Apocalypse — for some funds. I repeat: Coppola went ALL THE WAY IN and had SKIN IN THE GAME. His wife Eleanor took recorded video of all the insanity and the footage was turned into a 1991 documentary (“Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse”). The total cost for the film — including marketing spend — reached $45m. Against all odds, Coppola finished the project and the film was released in August 1979. It grossed $105m and Coppola would make a fortune on future DVD, Home Video and other ancillary revenue streams (below is a trailer for a re-mastered cut from 2019). During the Cannes Festival in May 1979, Coppola famously said of the film: “The way we made it was very much like the way the Americans were in Vietnam. We were in the jungle, there were too many of us, we had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little, we went insane.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger really wanted to play the hero in the first Terminator movie. He thought O.J. Simpson was going to be Terminator. Then he made the mistake of explaining to director James Cameron exactly how OJ had to play the part. Cameron was amazed and asked Arnold on the spot: “Why don’t you play Terminator?!” HOWARD STERN: “You wanted to be Kyle Reese.” ARNOLD: “That’s right.” STERN: “And the director said to you, ‘Hey, man, are you crazy? The movie’s about the Terminator.’ How did you beat out those guys?” ARNOLD: “I think what happened was it was a total coincidence because I didn’t even try out for Terminator. I was trying to be Kyle Reese. “And during the lunch when I met with James Cameron, the director... I kept talking all the time about the Terminator. I said to Cameron, ‘It doesn’t matter. I know you guys have already probably hired O.J. Simpson. But whoever is playing it, I just want you to be clear. He has to train himself to dissemble weapons and to put weapons together and to shoot and to load the weapons and all of this stuff blindfolded, totally blindfolded.’” “‘Because a Terminator can never, ever look down at his hand, what he’s doing, because he’s a machine. He’s a robot. When he walks, he has to have a certain walk, meaning he scans and looks around. He has to have a certain scan. It has to be absolutely clear at all times that this is a machine with absolutely no human behavior.’” “But this went on like this for an hour, what I just did.” STERN: “You didn’t even know you were excited.” ARNOLD: “No, no, because I saw the Yul Brynner character in Westworld where he played the machine. And so I was so, you know, kind of amazed at his performance. And he was an extraordinary actor.” STERN: “Fabulous.” ARNOLD: "So I kept talking about this and talking about how he has to walk, how he has to get up and how he has to tear his flesh out and how he has to operate on his eye. And, you know, no pain and no feelings.” “And James Cameron looked at me at the end of the lunch, and he said, ‘So why don’t you play Terminator? I mean, you understand him so well, this character. This is exactly what we need.’ And I said, ‘No, no, no, Jim, please. I counted the amount of lines. This guy says it’s 27 lines. In Conan, I had 128 lines. So I’m not gonna go backwards. You can give it to someone else. But I want to talk a lot. I want to perform. I want to be the leading man.’ “He says, ‘I will make that guy the leading man. It’s called the Terminator. I will shoot it from below up. You will look heroic. And don’t worry about killing all those people, because you’re a machine. No one is going to blame Arnold. You’re a machine. You’re acting as a machine.’”

Kevin Costner recounts the exact moment he knew he’d made it as a Hollywood star. Howard Stern: “How many years were there from when you, let’s say, graduated high school?” Kevin Costner: “Probably six or seven years. I was just knocking around, taking odd jobs, auditioning for things, and constantly getting rejected.” “People always ask, ‘What was your moment? What was your big break?’” “It’s really clear to me. I knew when I got the job in The Big Chill. Not what happened later, not getting cut out of the movie. I’m saying when I got the job. I was driving home on the freeway, and I knew it had happened for me.” Howard Stern: “It’s so funny because The Big Chill is the movie where you’re the guy who got cut out.” Kevin Costner: “But it had already happened for me, right? I was on the freeway, and I didn’t care anymore what happened after that. I knew I was in the right room, with the right guy, with the right people. I knew it was on. Not when the movie came out. I knew it was on the day I left the audition with the part.” Howard Stern: “That was the day you said to yourself, ‘I’m an actor.’” Kevin Costner: “That’s exactly right. Wally Niesita was the casting director, and she had such a force of will. She helped me with Lawrence Kasdan. But people only look at the obvious. If you want to ask when the moment was, it was really two moments. The moment I decided I wasn’t going to worry anymore about what people thought of me, and I wasn’t going to let my parents’ worries define my life. I didn’t care. They were going to catch up with my life. That was the first moment. The second was driving home after getting The Big Chill. Those were the two most important moments of my life.”

“You want evidence of aliens?” “Implants.” “There’s a lot of people walking around with exotic material in their bodies.” “Roger Leir extracted implants.” “That’s physical evidence.” “Leir concluded that they had some sort of nanotechnology in them.” Timothy Alberino just broke down the most “overlooked” evidence of extraterrestrial and UFO activity on Earth: “The aspect of ufology where you can mine the most physical material evidence is the abduction stuff.” Jesse Michels: “I interviewed Whitley Strieber, and you could say what you want about some of his stories … but I felt an implant in his ear.” “And I just did a show with my buddy Chris Ramsay, who runs this great podcast called Area 52.” “We had this guy come up on stage who had an experience when he was a child.” “And he has something very similar in his ear. “He could put a magnet externally on it, and it’ll stick there.” Alberino: “Most people who have implants, most of them are generally located somewhere in the head.” “Although people have had them all over.” “Roger Leir extracted implants from knees.” “My colleague and good friend L.A. Marzulli worked with Leir, and was there when they extracted some of these implants.” “And he would describe to me how some of these implants were evasive.” “They move.” “And they’re not rejected by the body.” “They don’t cause swelling.” “They migrate around the body.” “And many abductees have ejected them unintentionally from their nasal cavity.” “They’ll have a bloody nose and they eject an implant.” “Some of them are look like tiny pills, oblong, some of them are round.” Timothy Alberino Jesse Michels American Alchemy

👏👏👏Chamath Palihapitiya thought very little of President Trump when he came into office. But as time passes, he realizes how wrong his outlook was. The ultra-successful businessman and early executive at Facebook shows how a true free thinker can adjust their opinions. The whole All-In Pod also praised Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, a senior advisor to Trump and in charge of brokering peace between Israel and Palestine. Kushner's recent long-form interview on Lex Friedman's podcast brought praise. Chamath: "But Jared Kushner is thoughtful. He's smart. I was fed all these lies for years about how this guy was, like, moping around in the shadows and this and that, and it was all not true. David Sacks: "[Trump] was willing to meet with Kim Jong Un. He was willing to meet with Putin and Xi Jinping, and he avoided criticizing them personally. He didn't call them dictators. He talked about how smart they are. It's the art of the deal. Right. I mean, at the end of the day, he's looking to do business, and we need a little bit more of that. And I think this is why Jared Kushner was successful. He went in there with the mindset of a businessman. How do we find something that's beneficial to both sides?" Chamath: "I think that when Trump was elected, I was told that it was the end of the world, and that's what I thought. And I'd already underwritten him as an F, okay? And then, four years into the presidency, he was probably like a C in my mind. And then, as I get a little bit of distance away, I realized, no, hold on a second. This guy was like a B, B-plus. Like, he was pretty good. "But the further and further I get away from him and the less emotional I am, he did a pretty good job. He was a pretty good president."

This family booked a child’s birthday party at this water park for 200 people. Then they advertised it on social media and was selling tickets to their event at this park. The park caught wind of what they were doing and cancelled their event due to over 500 people showing up for an event booked only for 250 people. Was this fair or was it another motive involved? I can’t blame them especially if they aren’t equipped to handle that many people. In college we used to always go to this bar after class late at night around 10pm. That night a friend’s band was supposed to be playing there and we helped sell tickets for the event. There ended up being a misunderstanding, the bar said there was a max occupancy of 200 people, so the band assumed they could have sold 200 tickets. We sold all of the tickets, when we got there over 40 people were already there as part of the normal crowd. So it all 200 people show up that bought tickets there would be an issue as it would exceed occupancy. The bar owner was getting antsy because he didn’t want any issues if he exceeded occupancy and was in the verge of canceling the show. The band and the owner engaged in a heated argument and the band said the way he said it, he was implying it could be 200 people and that he should only have let people in that had tickets considering it was an event. The owner argued back saying and he quoted himself that the max occupancy was 200 and that he never gave the band a number for how many tickets that could have been sold. I think they could have both handled the details much better and they were both in the wrong. The show ended up getting canceled because of how many people was continuing to show up due to his cheap drink specials he always has that night.
