Oh, you're breaking my heart with this one, Margo. What a beauty it is. I remember it like it was yesterday. One of the best of the television biopics, rivaling so many on the big screen. Thanks so much for the post.

I think it was the best of the best TV Movies of the Week.
It was a movie known to make grown men cry.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

I haven't seen either of these, Margo. Maybe I'll get to them one of these days (my list is getting so long and my time is so short, relatively speaking). Thanks for the posts. (I meant to see ED WOOD, but it got away from me. I know that Martin Landau is wonderful in it. Depp, too, I'm sure. Damn, I just can't keep up anymore.)

Ed wood was one of my favorite directors. I like movies that are so bad, they are…BAD!
Frankie Lymon's story is a strange one.

Bad movies can be a lot of fun, I get that. Bad westerns and some of the old sci-fi movies in the fifties are perfect examples of that. Like Wood's
Plan Nine from Outerspace
. Don't know if I'll see the remake coming up. They'll probably try to make it too good.

You just reminded me… I had heard that there was going to be a remake. I can just see it. Forget the paper plate flying saucer. Bring on all of the cool CGI special effects!
It would be fun if the emphasis was put on the cheesiness of the original. Make it a comedy?
