So I recently came across a Tim Burton film that I had never seen before. I had heard of it, and I had looked around to try and watch it, and now I finally saw it.
And I must say... I don't know if it was worth it all.
It is about an old horror movie writer and director named Edward D. Wood, Jr. who, incidentally, was a straight transvestite. Odd enough, but what made it all worse was just how shitty his movies were. His "pride and joy" Plan 9 from Outer Space was dubbed "the worst movie of all time."
I liked it.
But I only liked because it WAS the worst movie I had ever seen. It was so terrible that it was comedic. There were terrible graphics, terrible lines, horrid actors, and it claimed to star Lugosi.
In case you guys don't know who Lugosi is, he was a, at that time, relatively known actor. He played Dracula in the American Broadway stage Production in 1927.
So Plan 9 from Outer Space was the movie that really made Ed Wood an infamous hack, and Ed Wood, the Tim Burton film, was an Academy Award winning representation of Ed Wood while he was making Plan 9.
In Ed Wood, Starring Johnny Depp, all of the errors are revealed and emphasized, and all the basic facts are true. Down to the specific woman's sweater that Ed loved to wear. It also depicted a few other films that Wood made, but I am having trouble procuring a free online version of them for you.
The Tim Burton film made Plan 9 hilarious. It was really what sparked me into watching the actual Plan 9. They are worth a watch and a laugh, but nothing more.
Enjoy!
