not a classic, but watched a fantastic doc about Mario Bava on IFC last night

It's called MARIO BAVA: MAESTRO OF THE MACABRE

it's on netflix - seek it out

it's definitely pretty negative. but at least they went beyond where Tim Burton's movie left off. I saw something where Tim Burton was talking about how they only wanted to portray the "good years" of Ed's life. the time when he was still idealistic and not beaten down by the system. which was before he started writing dimestore pulp novels and softcore porn and became a severe alcoholic.

I'm glad they kinda went beyond the idealized Tim Burton Ed Wood, to show a man with faults and troubles just like everyone else. they showed that dreamers have no place in Hollywoodland. ha!

yeah, I hated Lugosi's son too. hard not to.

I think part of the reason it was so dark and depressing is b/c they knew that everyone who would see the movie would be Ed Wood fans, most of which were introduced via the Tim Burton film (which is great, don't get me wrong). so I guess, in an attempt to be subjective, they dwelled a bit much on the not-so-nice side of his life.

i pretty much never watch classics. (i guess it depends on what you call a classic though) but the last movie that can be considered a classic from all perspectives was Freaks
