Unlike a lot of his contemporaries like Dennis Steckler or Ted Mikels, Wood held a much different place in cinema history because he was trying to express a point of view, whereas the other schlockmeisters just wanted a quick cash grab from making the cheapest and most exploitative films possible. Wood had a true love for the medium, and much of his output is sort of a love letter to the films he grew up with. I'm convinced that it's Glen or Glenda that is his masterpiece, not Plan Nine. It's one of the most personal autobiographical expressions ever committed to celluloid.
John. These mini features, excuse my labelling, are fantastic. The slices of life you write and recap, are intriguing to say very little of how entertaining! Thanks for sharing!
