Ed Wood

[DrLenera]

Tim Burton's Ed Wood is a great movie. As for Ed Wood the filmmaker, well he was undoubtably crap, but I have a fondness for his films. Plan 9 From Outer Space, in particular, is so full of gaffes and bad filmmaking that it's a comedy classic. The cardboard gravestones, the chase when it switches constantly from day to night, the Bela Lugosi impersonator who walks around covering his face with his cloak to hide the fact he looks nothing like Bela,the, well, surreal dialogue "somebody's been murdered, and SOMEBODY'S responsible".......priceless, simply priceless.

I've never actually seen a real Wood Film, but I love "Ed Wood". Johnny Depp did an awesome job with the part.

You've got to see PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE!
As great as the reenactments were in ED WOOD, nothing compares to the real thing. Classic bad cinema! ;D

Golden Turkey Award as I recall. Oh, what an awful movie. Although, as the 50's go, I thought "The Giant Claw" was worse.

Should I see this Giant Claw?
Is this that baaaaaaaad?
Some horrible movies sometimes turn to be funny.
Fun is unintentional.

It's a bloody train wreck. And unintentionally funny. One of the films my Mom grew up on and in turn raised my brother and me with.
