Turgid, turgid film.

Die. That film is wonderful - I hadn't laughed that hard in a while when I saw it. That's about all I've seen from the list. I was kinda amused by the two Kaurismaki's in a row, but all I've seen of his is The Man Without a Past and his short from The Trumpet.

I haven't seen "The Sinister Urge" but I've been wanting to. I've a lot of Wood's other movies. The idea of him making a movie that warns about the "dangers of smut" is ironic and sad considering how he spent his final years.

Has anyone seen it? I saw Plan 9 from Outer Space for the first time in the middle of the night when I was in junior high. This was before the Burton bio-pic when a lot of people rediscovered Wood. My favorite parts remain Criswell's narration.
I've contended that Wood's films are more than just humourously intept; there's something oddly unsettling going on as well.
