just looked at his imdb, the only film of his I've seen is RAMPAGE. which was both good and bad at the same time, but not in a so-bad-it's-good way, if that makes sense

I tend to see ed wood in a positive light. I mean in a lot of ways he was an american success story. He had a dream, he wanted to make movies, and he didn't  let anything,  including the  fact he wasn't all that  good at  it,  stop him.

He had courage ,  drive,  ambition and refused to let anything,  even his own limited talent,  stop him from doing what he  wanted. He lved his dream.

It's easy to succeed when you've got talent. He succeeded without talent.  That's a success story!

Ed Wood actually had a passion. Uwe Boll just used video game titles he didn't care about to make s**tty movies to exploit a tax loophole in Germany.

Also, Wood's movies are more watchable. What would you rather watch, Plan 9 From Outerspace or Alone in the Dark?

No, the modern Ed Wood is not Uwe Boll. It's Neil Breen.

I think of Ed Wood as a driven man with lots of ambition but no real talent.
I admire that crazy man..he followed his dream into his grave. He never gave in to the powers that be. He was a maverick. And I thought that long before I seen that movie-which is a GOOD movie- but 98 percent bulls**t.

Ed Wood never succeded, in fact, he end up being in total poverty and doing crappy porn. We may now remember all his good side, because after all, he wasn't a bad guy, but let's not fool ourselves. The guy was, sadly, a failure. A failure with a noble dream, but a failure nevertheless.

It's actually quite hypocrite from our part if you ask me, because everyone nowadays talk wonders about him, but back when he needed to be talked about, nobody gave a quarter of a s**t.  Bluesad

No, the modern Ed Wood is not Uwe Boll. It's Neil Breen.

You know, I never heard of him so I made a quick search. Why all his movies have his face plastered on the cover? I gotta see them!  BounceGiggle

Thanks for the cool answers everyone, there's a lot of great information here.

Ed wood achieved success, it was just posthumously.

BTW where did we all first  hear of ed wood?  Moi? Since you ask I'll say it was his segment on 'cheech and chong's it came from Hollywood'.

I heard of Ed Wood when I read about PLAN 9 in Famous Monsters magazine in 1970.
I seen An Ed Wood clip back in the 60's for the opening of Chiller in upstate NY.
Scared the s**t out of me.

No, the modern Ed Wood is not Uwe Boll. It's Neil Breen.

Or Tommy Wiseau, if Wiseau would make more movies.

That's exactly why I said Breen instead of Wiseau. Also, as far as writing is concerned, The Room is nowhere near as bizarre as any of Breen's films.
That and I feel Wiseau has some level of self-awareness, which Breen ABSOLUTELY lacks.

Of course there's writing. I think you're just mixing up writing with LIGHTING.  Wink
