    This is by far THE best Ed Wood documentary I have ever seen. It’s not just about Ed Wood, it’s about everyone who came his path. I’m glad they got Bela Lugosi, Jr. to be in this, despite his extremely negative image of Wood.

    A fine doc featuring major players from the life and films of Ed Wood Jr, an interesting imperfect person (but aren't we all?) w/a potent desire to see his sci-fi visions reach the big screen. Reminded of Ed Wood (1994), portraying Wood & pals in a fun, tragic & edifying way.

    He was a dreamer and at least he tried to make his dreams come true, (which is more than can be said for most of us.) In fact, he didn't have anything but his dreams and his talent. So, instead of calling him talentless or a con artist, people have to realize he was an artist, a struggling artist. His work was not conventional, his scripts were non-conventional, but that's because he didn't want to be banal. He wasn't stupid. He knew things way ahead of his time, but the world just wasn't ready for Ed Wood of Hollywood.

    The 90’s was Ed Woods big come back due to Tim Burton bringing Ed Woods work to the big screen based on a book Nightmare in Ecstasy, it brought awareness to independent filmmakers on his work and created new fans like me. It’s been 30 yrs now since Tim Burtons Ed Wood film and I still hav much of Ed Woods movies in my video collection including this documentary. I don’t see them as trash or bad films Ed Wood was like any other film makers ,he did the best with what he had to work with.

    Ed had two problems. One, he should've started small by directing TV commercials or documentaries. Walk before you run.
    Two, he was ahead of his time. Had he lived longer and made weird movies in the *1970s* he could've been a star.

      Strangely enough, it's actually a little known fact that's been heavily repressed in the media through government censors in the last 80 years since the end of WWII that, throughout the conflict, reportedly up to 79% of all male soldiers on all sides were beneath their uniforms sporting garter belts, panties, silk stockings, camisoles, bras and frilly lace panties.
      In fact, it was Hitler's decision to include the 6 inch stiletto heel as the standard issue German Winter field boot that reputedly cost them the Russian front and ultimately the entire war.

      You're wrong. Lugosi was one of the 3 legendary horror actors from Hollywood's Golden Age (Karloff and Chaney, Jr. being the other 2). Lugosi created 2 of filmdom's greatest, most iconic horror characters --- Count Dracula in 1931's "Dracula" and Ygor in 1939's "Son of Frankenstein.". Plus he gave many other powerful performances in horror classics such as "The Black Cat," "The Raven," "The Invisible Ray" (where he played Karloff's sidekick, ha-ha), "Black Friday," "The Wolf Man," "The Ghost of Frankenstein," "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man," "The Body Snatchers," etc.
      Yes, his career had hit the skids by the 1950s, prompting his reliance on Ed Wood for gainful employment --- but apart from the campy cult following he enjoys today from these later performances, Lugosi is remembered for so much more --- by thousands, if not millions, of movie fans.
      So --- learn a little movie history and show respect to one of the true legends of horror cinema.

      @@MayorMcCheeseStalker I do know about film history thanks very much. As the generations go by, there is less and less interest in older films. That doesn't mean there is no interest in them but there is far less interest in them. The movie Ed Wood was a big movie at the time of it's release and continues to have a following. Do you think that this has helped Lugosi's legend to grow bigger compared to if he had not worked with Ed Wood jnr at all? It has interested people enough to go back and look at Lugosi's earlier movies (golden age movies) to see him in Dracula etc, including myself. Therefore to me, his son is wrong, but that's just my opinion. Don't get all upset.

    • @MayorMcCheeseStalker
      @MayorMcCheeseStalker 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@2410-s9l To refer to Lugosi as "obscure" is just plain incorrect --- because you seem to be projecting the viewpoint of one particular demographic (Millennials), as if the cultural references of previous generations somehow don't matter. There are billions of us from those generations who are still alive and kicking, which makes your statement fairly narrow-minded.
      The World War II generation ("the Greatest Generation") grew up watching his horror classics in actual movie theaters. Their children (Baby Boomers) were introduced to these same films in 1957 when the 'Shock Theater' package of Universal horror films was syndicated to TV affiliates across the country. It became a national craze in many (but not all) TV markets for these films to be hosted by staff announcers dressed up like ghouls and vampires.
      This tradition carried on into the 1980s when Gen Xers like myself were exposed to Karloff, Lugosi, and the classic movie monsters. Then cable TV networks became a dominant force, and most local affiliate stations stopped showing old movies late at night.
      So yeah, I'm sure many millennials have had to rely on "Ed Wood" for exposure to the great Lugosi. And I'd guess that film fans in future generations will discover him the same way. (It's not uncommon for a popular Hollywood biopic to spark renewed interest in [and garner new fans for] an aging or deceased performer --- "The Jolson Story," "The Glenn Miller Story," "La Bamba.")
      But you shouldn't discount entertainers (especially ones who are beloved and remembered by millions) simply because they don't appeal to kids in your particular age bracket.

      @@MayorMcCheeseStalker Yes ok perhaps obscure is not the right word. All I'm saying is Lugosi is far more alive to me thanks to Ed Wood jnr than say Boris Karloff. And that goes for a lot of people. I do comprehend where Lugosi's son is coming from though when you think about Ed Wood putting Lugosi in what has been voted the worst movie ever made and he wasn't even alive at the time. That part I understand.
      Thanks for your post, interesting information in it
      Speaking of Plan 9 from outa space, there is this Steve Martin movie called Bowfinger which I think was really a homage to Ed Wood jnr. Crap director makes a movie where the Hollywood star doesn't know he's in it. The start of the movie they make reminds me of an Ed Wood type of movie. It's called Chubby Rain Eddie Murphys in the movie aswell. Just thought I'd mention that.

      I ask because I just saw in this documentary what appears to be an actual ending to that film and one which I'd never seen before (if, in fact, I can recall the movie content with any accuracy, that is!)
      As one intimately connected to the distribution of Ed Wood's films, do you know if there was an actual ending, as such, to Glen or Glenda and if so, is it what this documentary displays?

If it was, in the Magazines my parents let me read, the significance was beyond me. As a child, I thought Vampire Bela Lugosi was temptingly hot. I'm glad finally, I was shown that my passion for a vampire biting me is a mark that I must never accept. Lustful ways lead to loss. Yet, I still like these old, well acted horror movies tho I have a different set now. Praise Be To GOD!

    People discriminate as if it were their inner-person warning them that this particular person were 'bad'. People DO NOT KNOW - what they choose to believe is true. No one would ever admit that 'choices' are absolutely NOT volitional - but that their 'feelings' are the 'knowledge' of established fact.
    The only concession that I personally would offer - is that the reason I detract from their 'choices' is frankly they are not so much fools as much as stupid animals. And...?

    Back before people knew anything about the people in Hollywood. And since we know too much about the people there now . Ed Wood Jr. and his unusual life are minor in comparison with what news comes out today.
