He may not have been a technically skilled filmmaker, but he made up for that with outrageous belief in his stories.KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587905976811500791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379353038189641208.post-83780257625474995322011-08-04T23:09:14.705-04:002011-08-04T23:09:14.705-04:00You're right about Ratner and Bay.

This is hilarious but I think the original scene is even funnier!<br /><br />@RVChris, Plan 9 is something but I think Bride of the Monster is my favorite of Wood's filmography.<br /><br />@Ivan, I couldn't agree more with you!

Whether we want to admit it or not, Ed Wood, in writing-directing-producing his films, does meet the criteria of 'auteur' when we look at his work.
