Can There Be Another Ed Wood?

[Colt M1991A1]

This here story that I'm about to unfold took place in a town called Los Angeles. And sometimes, there's a man.  A man for whom this is his time and place. Sometimes, there's a man...well, he fits right into his time and place.  Sometimes, there's a man... Dang, lost my train of thought there. ;)

Odd how that quote can equally apply to both Ed Wood and Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski...

Yes--his name is Tim Burton. He is the modern equivilant Ed Wood

But Tim Burton is an accomplished Hollywood director.  

Probably the closest thing might be someone who makes direct-to-video movies
but never breaks into the mainstream.  I'm sure there are a few people like that out there...someone has to be making all of those movies at the video store that I've never heard of!
