No ego, no messianic crap, just pure schlock with stock footage, stolen octopi and an aging morphine addict. Unlike Breen, Wiseau, She Who Shall Not Be Named, and even the Z movie directors who don't do self inserts, Ed Wood doesn't really deserve to be made fun of on the same level as a wildly incompetent director... who also has delusions of grandeur and uses his movies as a vehicle for that. Ed wanted to make money and simply didn't have the skills or budget to compete with his contemporaries, his movies weren't released to DVD, they played in real theatres and arguably matched the zeitgeist of the world they were released in. The man inspired David Lynch! I would take a thousand Glen or Glendas over any of the aforementioned modern Z movie crap any day.
