A Roger a day...

Inshallah, 2006 will see Roger Corman pass two milestones: his 80th birthday (a date he shares with yours truly), and his 365th film as a producer. The latter is currently slated to be 'Deathrace 3000', which, if anything like its 1975 prequel, the notorious 'Death Race 2000', will be well worth seeing. In fact, to acknowledge the man's achievements I propose declaring 2006 The Year of Roger Corman, to be celebrated by watching one of his productions every day from January 1st to December 31st. It would certainly knock those 'Star Wars' and '24' marathon viewing sessions into a cocked hat.
