MOVIES:

THE LOST PORN FILMS OF ED WOOD

Hey, movie buffs, you thought you have seen it all, but you haven't seen the lost tapes of the worst filmmaker ever:

"As the 1960s dawned for Ed Wood, Jr., the long-suffering but indefatigable film auteur realized that his professional prospects were more precarious than ever.  Finding investors to back his film projects was becoming increasingly difficult. So Ed Wood did what many struggling actors, writers, and producers in Hollywood have done before him, and ever since.  He turned to smut. Over the next 26 years until his death in 1978 at age 54, Wood would go on to write, direct, and produce nearly two dozen porn films under a variety of pseudonyms. Many of these have never been seen since their original release; the ones that have survived have only been seen via low-quality videotape copies. Over 30 years after they were last seen in their entirety, Fleshbot will be re-releasing newly mastered DVD versions of three of Ed Wood's lost porn films as the first titles in the Fleshbot Films series. "Necromania" (1971) is the first of the lost porn films of Ed Wood to be released under the Fleshbot Films imprint. (...) The plot involves a coven of witches, led by the mysterious Madame Heles, who concoct a series of 'lessons' for a couple whose sex life is less than satisfying. Their teaching methods involve topless chanting, simulated intercourse with painted skulls, and a lot of oral sex. Madame Heles was to have been played by longtime Wood collaborator Maila 'Vampira' Nurmi, who took one look at the script and withdrew herself from the production citing concerns of 'professional suicide'. (...) Launched in November 2003, Fleshbot is a frequently updated and influential web magazine about the pornography—and the sex culture—that digital technology and distribution has made possible. Fleshbot has been praised by the Village Voice as "the perfect way to conceal your animal urges beneath a veneer of geek intellectualism." Get it here and read more...

DVD : Ed Wood by Tim Burton (Special Edition)

Whew, scary!

A modern classic with nice extras on the disc and excellent 5.1-sound for your fancy home cinema system. "Ed Wood" is Tim Burtons best movie and it won him two oscars. Yeah, right, that doesn't say a lot, but Johnny Depp is great as Ed Wood, Martin Landau is Bela Lugosi, Bill Murray and Sarah Jessica Parker are doing a great job. The audio-commentary makes a lot of sense providing some more info on the director who made the infamous "Plan 9 from outer space" which just came out on dvd too. "Ed Wood" is a gem, a touching comedy absolutely worthwhile checking out again in the age of mindless toy-movies.
