Like Athena bursting form the brow of Zeus, Lloyd Kaufman is singlehandedly (or half-handedly, we can't forget about his business partner of 25 years, Mr. Michael Herz) responsible for an entire movement of film, namely the longest-lived independent film company still in existence today, Troma Films. Most of the planet has had exposure to Tromaville in one way or another, be it through the Toxic Avenger series (or its subsequent cartoons and comic books) or one of Troma's other great titles like Class of Nuke 'Em High, Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD, or Tromeo and Juliet.
Now any Joe Average can delve deep into the slimy crags of Mr. Kaufman's brain (without the aid of any Asimov-ian shrink ray) by pruchasing his new tell-all biography, All I Need to Know About Filmmaking I Learned From the Toxic Avenger.
