I am at fault here, my apologies. It is something I would have enjoyed immensely.

Rick, it is over? I would have, but I’ll admit I’ve gone to too many blogs, overextending myself. It’s the OCD in me, sadly.

I would have thought, Sam, that you would have eaten it up. Oh well.

Do I win any awards for having seen every last one of Wood’s films?

I am assuming I should be active in the blogothon, no?

LOL!!!!!

I like them both, as I said, but I’m just not a big fan of bad films, intentionally or otherwise. I can only see a “so bad it’s good” film so many times, then I think ok, that’s it. I saw the strings holding up the saucers. next.

But that said, I respect his drive and enthusiasm and sincerity. He was a true original

Yeah, like you I’ve only seen Glen or Glenda and Plan 9, both of which I will defend to an extent. The same reasons you cite for not seeing more is the same reason I don’t— I don’t have a particular affinity for one genre over another. So in all the eclecticism I’m more brushed up on some areas than others.

Marilyn, maybe we will, maybe we will … (strokes chin thoughtfully)

I like your choice of Busby Berkley in your post, btw.

Rick, I LOVE that idea. Maybe you or Bill should write it!

Bill, thanks. Like you, I like irony as well as the next person, but get tired when we can’t get away from it.

But I like your observation about Mann … just think: “Michael Mann, the new Spirit of Ed Wood.” What a post that would have been for this ‘thon.
