B Movies
What are your favorite B Movies/B movie directors? I love Roger Corman and Melvin Van Peebles. My favorite B Movie of all time though is Chopping Mall, directed by Jim Wynorski. Mall-based movies are always a win for me. I just saw a great documentary on Wynorski (and on the decline/metamorphosis of the B Movie at the hand of new technology) called “Popatopolis”. The doc follows Wynorski as he shoots the entirety of the feature length “The Witches of Breastwick” in three days. It was both hilarious and tragic, and as I’ve a background in film I got some great laughs out of the standards of filmmaking that he used… the punchline is of course that he made more money off that film than I’ve made in my whole life…
