Published at:  Sep 07, 2010 11:33:35 PM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here with the latest bit of FANTASTIC FEST Awesome Sauce! In addition to Yuen Woo Ping's Life Time Acheivement, FANTASTIC FEST will also honor the work of Roger Corman & his partner Julie Corman!!! Personally, I'm so jazzed that the Alamo will finally play host to the greatness of Roger Corman. Now if we were only playing BUCKET OF BLOOD and had Dick Miller coming in to present the award! Que Lastima! Here's the whole release:

    Hey Harry, provide more info on the bumper contest

    by d.vader

    Because your last post on the subject is fucking confusing as hell. Last year it had to be 30 seconds- now you say its 15 seconds but "like always". Are you confused? Is there an official website? Is this contest REALLY that half-assed this year? Help us!

    I just had Roger Corman leave a voicemail for Harry weeks ago!

    by the reluctant austinite

    I was sitting with Roger Corman at Fright Night Film Fest (Julie was there too) back in the heat of August, and called Harry. I got his voicemail so I turned the phone over to Roger who proceeded to say, "I want to thank you for promoting 'Sharktapus' on your website". I was laughing my ass off even though I was pretty nervous sitting next to this living legend. I mean, what the fuck do you say to Roger Corman? I love your films? I asked him about "Rock n Roll High School", "Masque of the Red Death", his attitude regarding "Piranha 3-D", etc. He had just returned from the local cinemas after seeing "Inception" and he told me he thought it was the best film he'd seen this year. I got to spend a few hours with him in between his signing of autographs for fans and told him all about the Alamo and Tim League. I hope that in some way this might have helped grease the geers in getting Roger and Julie to my favorite theater.

    Not Quite Hollywood is fascinating

    Can't wait to see Machete Maidens Unleashed. Any movie that references For Your Height Only is worth watching.

    by blue_demon

    And can you imagine the Thanksgiving dinner with Eric and Julia sitting next to each other?"What'd you film this year, Jules?""Eat, Pray, Love...you?""Sucks to be you. I starred in Sharktopus!"

    Hey Troy--er, theheavy.

    by the reluctant austinite

    Yeah, I was wondering about those posters, but if they're safe with you, that's cool. They were already moved out by the time I arrived on Monday. I thought you would be the best person to show Julie around as you've actually shot on various locations around town. Nice job. Anyway, I hope Texas boys appreciate the fact that we got Roger in the ville first! Represent!

    Que Lastima???!??

    by onezeroone

    Harry, have you just recently come to know about this word/phrase? Coz you do sound like a kid who's just learned a new word and can't miss any chance to use it.
