ED WOOD.ORG - The Home of The Church of Ed Wood
Just to complete the circle.
Reverend Steve Galindo of Sacramento, California, created a legally recognized religion in 1996 with Wood as its official savior. The Church of Ed Wood[10] now boasts over 3,500 baptized followers. Woodites, as Steve’s followers are called, celebrate Woodmas on 10 October, which is Ed’s birthday. Numerous parties and concerts are held worldwide to celebrate Woodmas.
The University of Southern California holds an annual Ed Wood Film Festival, in which students of all disciplines are challenged to form teams to write, film and edit an Ed Wood-inspired short film based on a preassigned theme. Past themes have included Slippery When Wet (2006), What’s That in Your Pocket? (2005), and Rebel Without a Bra (2004). 2007 saw a break in this tradition when the theme My eyes are killing me was accompanied by a theme object: a mirror.

Ed Wood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I guess this is a new thing…
As much as James Cameron’s movies… annoy me, he has gotta be one of the coolest motherfuckers on the face of the Earth.
Been Reading Director's Biographies
Tim Burton, Chaplin, Lucas, Welles… I think one of the reasons directors feel so “used” (and make films about their cynicism thus) is because young ones generally have a HUGE creative phase that peaks around the age of 30, just when they are hitting their stride, and like that, they suddenly become also-rans.
Maybe some people are lucky to hit success later in life.
