Quite decent. Part 2 should be interesting, since assuming it'll go into the post-Plan 9 years and the eventual Burton movie.

Good job to Rolfe for not going the easy route and repeating all the complete lies that were perpetuated in the Burton film.

I was thinking of when Freakazoid said it in "Dance of Doom."

I love those old cheesy Ed Wood films. I buy one if I find it cheap. I got Glen or Glenda for 5 dollars (australian).

Good job to Rolfe for not going the easy route and repeating all the complete lies that were perpetuated in the Burton film. What were some of the lies that were in the film? Okay....the script was by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, based on a book by Rudolph Grey called "Nightmare in Ecstasy." Grey's book was a collection of interviews with Wood's cast and crew, and the thing was, when these people realized they could ride the coattails of Wood's infamy, they started exaggerating his story a good bit, to make it more "fun". After Tim Burton bought the rights to the screenplay, Alexander and Karaszewski went to Burton and wanted to re-write the script to bring it closer to real life, but Burton refused, wanting to shoot exactly the script he had seen when he signed on. Just a few things that NEVER happened: - Wood never met Orson Welles. - Outside of shooting scenes for Glen Or Glenda, Wood NEVER appeared in public in drag. - They didn't steal the octopus prop, they rented it. The reason they didn't have the motor for it was because it was a separate rental and they couldn't afford it. - Lugosi didn't cuss like that in real life, and was never publicly belligerent of Boris Karloff. - Wood didn't meet Lugosi that way; he met him through a talent agency. - Lugosi never "wrestled" the octopus. It was stuntman Eddy Parker who did. - Those premieres of his films in the movie? The one that turned into a riot and the grand premiere of Plan 9 at the end? Never happened. - Loretta King never promised him money for funding. He borrowed from her and SEVERAL others, but there was never any indication she made it seem like she could fund the entire movie. That's Dolores Fuller's "memory" coming into play here. - Wood didn't meet his future wife while sitting in a detox center. - The church that funded Plan 9 never insisted on them changing the name from Grave Robbers from Outer Space. - Tor Johnson had already been acting for years by this point, and met Wood the same way Lugosi, Vampira and the others had - through talent agencies. There are numerous other examples, plus a lot of mischaracterizations (George Weiss, the producer of Glen or Glenda, wasn't the a-hole presented in the picture, for example). About the only "really out there" thing in the film that is legit is Tor getting baptised in a swimming pool, and that was in reality just a publicity stunt. Now, I get into this argument with Kash all the time, and we've come to the agreement that ED WOOD is a fun film, and it's a good film; it's just not a TRUTHFUL film. |

one last bump, mainly because I'm curious to see what madison thinks about rolfe's ed wood movie review. It was fair - he mentioned the inaccuracies without really delving into them, so at least he knows what's what on this. That said, there were so many other films to be touched upon that he never got around to - just the ones everyone already knows about. Jailbait, Sinister Urge, Violent Years, Bride and the Beast...even One Million AC/DC would have been great fodder for this. |

Liked how James put over Mike Starr, that's good stuff.
Since Madison brought it up, Jailbait was a pretty fine movie but outside of the Reeves thing there's not a whole lot to be said about it. A lot of the others could have been touched upon though, Violent Years and AC/DC especially.
