For those of you who visit Cinemassacre there's a good chance you're going to that site to watch the online show "Angry Video Game Nerd." Created and starring James Rolf, AVGN is the ultimate show for fans of retro gaming. And I'm not talking about Playstation, Nintendo 64, or Dreamcast, I'm talking about classic Nintendo, Genesis, and Super Nintendo. This is what Cinemassacre is mostly known for, though other movies are posted on the site too. These range from video reviews, convention videos, and even original movies. Right now Rolf is in the middle of his Godzilla-Thon (with seven movies left to review including the Matthew Broadrick movie), but he decided to take a detour and do a two part "Ed Wood-A-Thon." At this point you must be wondering what this has to do with Oscars. This is a valid question, seeing as how Ed Wood is condiered the worst director of all time. That said...
...if you need a connection it's that Tim Burton's "Ed Wood" film won two Oscars, including a Best Supporting Actor for Martin Landau. That said though, I really just want to point you to this tribute of a man who might have made terrible movies, but he loved making them anyway. Wood is a director I respect in that regard, and it also shows that bad movies can be entertaining in their own right. So, yeah, I guess this really isn't Oscar stuff, but sometimes it's good to take a break from all the serious stuff going on out there. Besides, the only thing sadder then Wood's films is the current presidential debates.
