Would've been more exciting directed by Roger Corman with real fireworks.

I'm with YOU. My personal favorite was Roger Corman's Attack of the Crab Monsters. Just found it on YT. I'm posting it right now!

Great Roger Corman movie, downloaded this a while back

^Sagemind, don't let lazy stop you-you have had the stamina and dedication to flattening your ass in that chair that got you to where you are today on the site-editing software I have and never use it-will one day, but you do not have time to be dilly-dallying with it now.

Take your inspiration for creation, and enroll in the Roger Corman school of film. "Cut, excellent, beautiful, move on to scenes 14-91." You have 10 days to give the producers a can of fertilizer for the premiere in Hoboken. One take wonders hit every 5th-7th time....just look at the kids who produced the ultimately unwatchable and highly successful, Blair Witch Project. Amazing what pot and fake butter can do to an audience. Take out your camera, write the script onna cocktail napkin and roll camera.

Here are a few tips to remember, elements that win every time with gullible audiences of freaks, geeks, tweaks, and the uni-dimensional meek, the latter being the ones that Frank Zappa reminded, will inherit nothing.

Nudity: Tasteful snippets of T&A (no P, unless it's a passing flash that keeps the audience wanting more or wondering if that was what they think it was), will distract an audience from content or lack of inherent talent...use sparingly, or folks may become jaded, dysfunctional social rejects.

Profanity: No film that has ever placed in the last 40 years is without it...use sparingly, do not use any of my contributions as an example.

Set: Provide the viewer with enough to occupy their feeble minds in the BACKGROUND, to distract them from the script that looked great yesterday, but stinks like foreign cheese after the drugs have worn off the next....litter the scene with props, gadgetry and eye-candy...try dumping a garbage can on the floor and re-arranging it a few times, perhaps....(HINT:most props are made of cardboard, plaster, or Styrofoam.)

Fire: Cheap and ever present, combustibles make for good cinema....think of all the chick flicks you have had to suffer, without smoke, there can be no flames.

Actors/Actresses-Optional elements of any film, these are like friends...-dime-a-dozen clutter which distract from the task at hand-employ the services of the homeless, have animals do your bidding, stack Barbies or plastic army men to the ceiling, and roll camera....insects work well too, they are always in character.

Hope this helped.

It's like 1984 meets Minority Report on acid. Nice work, man

Timur Bekmambetov, the director of the film actually filmed a Roger Corman remake of Arena

He also studied in Tashkent

About that full video rule... I know its been kind of waived for full length dcoumentaries, but there are also a lot of full length movies already posted here...

Personally, I like having them around, especially the older flicks, which, I think go a long way to enhance my collective, and encourage people to see movies they might not even know about, such as:
Roger Corman Gold- Bucket of Blood
Peter Cushing vs Christopher Lee in The Satanic Rites of Dracula
Roger Corman's The Terror
I mean, I would have never even seen this one:
Der Golem Considered the First Horror Film
Personally, I'd be cool with allowing ALL movies to be posted, but I understand why you guys wouldn't want the sift to become some kind of online Blockbuster video... so if you're going to start cracking down on movies can we at least make an exclusion for Public Domain films? That way, the older, more obscure stuff could stick around.

Damn Wildman! Nicholson and Karloff in a Roger Corman flick! Excellent find! You made my day!

This is the original movie.

"The Little Shop of Horrors is a 1960 dark comedy film directed by Roger Corman. The film is famous for having been shot in two days. The film tells the story of a nerdy young florist's assistant who cultivates a plant that feeds on human blood and flesh. The film is also noteworthy for featuring a young Jack Nicholson in a small role as Wilbur Force, the dentist's masochistic patient...."
