Big Fat Snails
How do you approach an Ed Wood film? You know it's not going to be good. In fact you know it's going to be terrible, but that's why you are watching it. My first knowledge of this film was from watching the Tim Burton film Ed Wood. Loving that film helped me enjoy Glen or Glenda more. Knowing the story of all the stock footage used, Bela Lugosi's insane ramblings as the films narrator, and the quick shots of Ed Wood walking up to department store windows. It really is astonishing how bad of a film Glen or Glenda is. It is so unfocused and random, and at times. I thought I was watching an instructional film from the 50's. Still you cannot deny the sheer joy of watching this totally unique and dare I say ingenious film? No I dare not say it, because it's really not. 3 stars for fun.
