	Ed Wood, Jr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wood also prided himself on the fact that he was the only film-maker other than Welles to be writer, director and usually an actor in most of his films, although it is likely that Wood took on all of these positions mostly to save time and money.
		As Ed Wood is generally seen to be a naïve and friendly individual with high hopes but an easy-going attitude -- an image perhaps deriving from Johnny Depp's and Tim Burton's portrayal of him in the 1994 biopic -- some of his novels may be shocking to the average film/literature historian.
		Later, he fronted a singing quartet called Eddie Wood's Little Splinters.

	John Gilmore- Celebrity Spotlight- Ed Wood, Jr.
		Ed Wood couldn't wait through the run of Kimzey's lame-brain excuses as to why he hadn't coughed up the hard-earned dough when due, so eventually he went to another publisher, then another, writing book after book at a pace like dribbling a basketball.
		Ed Wood often wrote under his own name, as opposed to using a pseudonym, and he'd been writing a little longer than I. But Lou Kimzey's operation wasn't giving Ed the edge he needed-meaning money paid on the barrelhead.
		Ed and I met a couple of times when he was wearing a woman's rayon blouse, which had a sort of metallic sheen except where he'd sweated through the armpits.

	The Life of Edward D. Wood Jr.
		Ed Wood was assisted with the editing of the film by director Phil Tucker, the man who created the horribly atrocious film Robot Monster, which in all honesty is the REAL worst film of all time.
		When Ed moved to Hollywood, the streets were clean and safe, it was okay to go out at night, and the whole city was alive with an abundance of positive creative energy.
		Ed was trying to make a modern day big boffo box office mad scientist flick that could reach the biggest possible audience and to do that he knew that he needed to loose the boring monotone death rattle-sounding acting styles of his girlfriend Dolores.

	Tucson Weekly: Knock On Wood (February 25 - March 3, 1999)
		Wood's affinity for society's outcasts may not have matched middle-America's idea of Hollywood royalty, but it certainly made for an interesting alternative to the industry's prefabricated ideals of beauty (as well as for some undoubtedly off-kilter movie wrap parties).
		Throughout Race, Wood continually cautions young actors that the Hollywood mythicized in movie glamour magazines is not to be trusted, that danger and despair lurk at every turn for all but the lucky few granted access to the Mount Olympus of the studio system.
		(Wood's failed acting career may have contributed to his bleak outlook on the star system.) Ironically, his own writing style is saturated with the moistly sweaty prose of the Hollywood Confidential-styled magazines he decries.

	Hollywood Rat Race - Ed Wood, Jr.
		Wood obviously stood on a strange periphery, stuck in the late 40s and 50s as Hollywood completely passed him by, but it is an interesting vantage point.
		Wood was not entirely deluded (except, perhaps, about his own talents), and on page after page of Hollywood Rat Race he condemns his reader to failure, teaching them to expect it at every turn.
		Wood toiled at it for several years in the 1960s, but never published it.

	EWAP 3.5
		Welcome to the Ed Wood appreciation page - a page dedicated to a man some consider to be the worst director of all time.
		Ok, so maybe Ed didn't have much talent or big budgets, but he certainly made up for it, by his love for films and his belief in what he did, which is more than you can say about some directors today.
		I lost my IP address which made me not only have to move the page back to the old server but also degrade it to a page with less functionality.

	The New Yorker: The Talk of the Town
		The filmmaker Ed Wood, Jr., who died in 1978, didn’t make many movies during the last decade of his life, owing to problems with money and booze, not to mention the problem of never having made movies that were any good in the previous decades.
		Wood made two versions, one soft-core (the sex is simulated) and the other hard-core (the sex is real), both of which went missing after an extremely brief run at the Hudson Theatre, on West Forty-fourth Street, in 1971.
		It was one of the first skin flicks to have what, technically, could be called a plot, and for Ed Wood fanatics—among whom are many Woodites, as adherents of the Church of the Heavenly Wood call themselves (no joke)—it was for years the ultimate buried treasure, the Woodite equivalent of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

	The Films of Ed Wood, Jr.
		Wood's stilted dialogue reaches new heights of lunacy, as even the basic laws of reality like night and day go flying out the window.
		Also included is the theatrical trailer, which features a jarringly different take in which Fuller flings her sweater at Wood rather than handing it to him.
		Often paired up with Plan 9 from Outer Space as the most entertaining of Ed Wood's "so bad they're masterpieces," Bride of the Monster offers enough cheap thrills and unintentional guffaws to live up to its creator's legacy.

	The films of ED WOOD from The New York Film Annex
		Although the plot could have served any of a dozens of Z—grade 50’s sci-fi flicks, this one was different because under Ed Wood’s masterfully inept misdirection the film turned into what is now widely acknowledged as one of the greatest pieces of trash ever committed to celluloid.

	DVDBeaver.com - DVD Review - "The Ed Wood Box" Image Entertainment - Region 1 NTSC
		To be fair the regular Wood performers have improved with age and the performances in this, although far from award nomination, and not as bad as they were in previous efforts.
		Running 112 minutes, the film could have been streamlined and some of the digressions removed, but that would have weakened the central premise, which is not only that Wood was in his own way a significant filmmaker, but that his charisma attracted and held this never-say-die band of collaborators.
		Yes, nothing in Ed Wood's methods have been altered - reused sets and ad-hock dialogue are cornerstones to this films infamy.
