     I wonder if TRP was influenced at all by Ed Wood's films.  For those 
     of you with morbid curiosities, the film, and other Ed Wood classics 
     (the aforementioned "Plan 9 From Outer Space" -- a tale of invasion by 
     space aliens -- and "Glen or Glenda?" -- the sensitive tale of a cross 
     dresser, played by Ed Wood himself) are available on video.  Their 
     re-release on video was prompted by the recent bioflick "Ed Wood" by 
     Tim Burton, which is a great summary of the guy's life and work.  Not 
     to be missed.



Yeah! I quite enjoyed Burton's Ed Wood.. quite a loving tribute to Wood and
cinema as well. But I think as far as a link TRP.. well, he seems to really like
"pulp" material... like doesn't he mention The Shadow in "The Crying of Lot 49"?
So, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he also digs Wood's films...
