Yeah, I would love to know how accurate the movie was. I'd love to read the book it was based off of, since it has a lot of interviews with the people involved. I'd like to think that the movie was (for the most part) accurate but just viewed through the same rose-colored glasses that you say the real Ed Wood saw through. I mean, I see a lot that could have been real and true to the real character but shown in a comedic and sympathetic light.

But interesting opinion about the budget, though. I don't know. It would have been interesting to see what Wood could have/would have done with a decent budget. Would he have made 50 low-budget movies, or did he only make low-budget movies because no one would give him a decent amount of money?

And we all know that George claimed the prequels would be low-budget movies, but look where they went. I mean, if you have those kind of resources, would you be able to keep yourself from going overboard?
