Subject: RE: BS: 'Glen or Glenda'. 'Plan 9..' Ed Wood jr.
Jeez, once ya start reading about Ed, it's hard to stop! He croaked while watching an NFL football game in his sleazy apartment.
The most fascinating tidbit I've come up with is that he'd ALREADY made 125 commercials before he did any movie directing. The Tim Burton film implies that he's this very young naieve guy humping potted plants at the studio.
The worst part of this damned internet, is now I'm fascinated with Bela Lugosi, Bunny breckinridge, Delores Fuller and Tor Johnson.
My Gawd, why couldn't I just admire straight ahead beloved figures like margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan??!!
