I remember when I first saw Ed Wood in a Movie Theater, it was a special screening and the ushers were handing out white Ed Wood Promo tee shirts. I didn't know what to expect from this film because most of my
familiarity with the misunderstood auteur came after the screening.I recall that night clearly because the movie that followed was (in my
opinion) one of the only landmark films to grace major theaters in the past 15 years.
I admire Tim Burtons body work but ED WOOD is absolutely, hands down,
his greatest achievement. The performances by the cast, especially, Johnny Depp, Martin Landau, and Bill Murray, are all top notch.
The cinematography, the music, the editing,..... Beautiful. Burtons film has gained a huge cult status over the years and has
become a personal favorite of mine...
IF Buena vista entertainment knows that ED WOOD is one of the major gems in
their collection then why the fuck are they holding back the release of this disk?
The world may never know.
Maybe I'll write Buena Vista a little letter.
