be an independent filmmaker and a huge fan of edward d. wood jr. i purchase this documentary believing that this would finally set the record straight on how gifted and brilliant ed wood actually be . what i get be a disappointing self center and conflictive and contradictory compilation of bitter self aggrandizing have beens . where people do remember ed wood jr. and do people actually remember the second cousin of the guy with the duct tape who know someone who be in plan nine from out space . it appear a though and the very minute there be a renew interest in ed wood and these people come out of the woodwork . only to take mean spirit swipe at someone who actually give them a chance when no one else would . after 50 year i would suggest that many of these people should let go of the fact that they do not get the $ 75 they be promise . ed wood be a brilliant creative filmmaker who know how to entertain . in fact that be all he live for . you may giggle when you see ed film and but somehow you be aware that you be laugh with him and and not at him . but and i digress . back to the film at hand . if you be expect a film about edward d. wood jr. and you would not get it here . if you want a film about cranky bitter old actor and this be the film for you .
