Final Ed Wood movie found
NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Considered the worst filmmaker of all time, Ed Wood won a cult following after his death and now fans can see his long-lost last film "Necromania," a work some say shows he was so bad that he was brilliant.

But it's not for the faint-hearted. The 1971 movie is a porn film documenting the sexual enlightenment of a young couple at the hands of a coven of witches.

The much maligned creator of enduring cult classics such as "Bride of the Monster," Wood was himself the subject of Tim Burton's 1994 biopic, the lead role played by Johnny Depp.

That film shows the making of Wood's most famous film -- "Plan 9 From Outer Space" from 1959 -- in which actors screw up their lines and "special effects" include pie tins for flying saucers.

5. If you believe Scalia
Republican orgies aren't too uncommon. I just hope PETA finds out what they've been doing with farm animals.

4. Why?
Why is it that some people just won't throw anything away? Ed Wood movies should be burned, not saved. I saw Plan 9 in a film class I took. It was bad. Very very bad.

I did like the movie "Ed Wood" though....

6. Plan 9 was bad? HA! I say, HA!!
It was a veritable multi Academy Award winner compared to "Glen or Glenda."

The BEST part of Glen or Glenda? It stars none other than Bela Lugosi. Legosi plays a drug-addicted Hollywood has-been, who sits in a chair offering completely meaningless babble into the insights of the infinite depths of a man's mind. You could tell that Lugosi was completely wasted on morphine during every scene he was in. Only Ed Wood surely could have misinterpreted his insane, drug addled ramblings as poetic genius.
