The Irony! it kills me!

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2004)

I did love Ed Wood. It is in fact one of my favorite movies. (and made by my favorite actor/director team, who made my number one favorite movie) But man, does it kill me that one of the worst filmmakers inadvertently managed to make it onto anyone's best list - a genuine one, that is, not in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 sort of way where horrid cinema is revered for its very badness (yes, i like MST3K too) - by having a movie made about his horridness. A good movie about a man who made bad movies inspired by someone who made what many critics call the best movie ever made. Very Meta, isn't it? A mobius strip made from celluloid. Now all it needs is an octopus.
