It's great fun. The Burton flick exudes love for Wood, plus it's damn funny.<br /><br />-JSConradyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111036627482991309.post-35923448454616520352011-04-13T00:34:05.063-04:002011-04-13T00:34:05.063-04:00Exactly!

He really launched into his terrible movies head first, and they were art to him. Plus, I've always been moved by how important he and Bela Lugosi were to each other.<br />He wasn't a perfect guy, he was really troubled. And the overt sexism in his movies is upsetting even in the context of the times, but his movies are fun (I actually like Bride of the Monster more than plan 9) and I've decided to put on the rose colored glasses towards him that Tim Burton did in his movie.<br />Nice write up!Marian Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911689316782199423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111036627482991309.post-51346867720249095762011-04-12T22:00:51.842-04:002011-04-12T22:00:51.842-04:00I hate to say that I've never seen an Ed Wood ...I hate to say that I've never seen an Ed Wood movie.
