Ed Wood Provides A Thoughtful Ode To The Man Behind Plan 9 From Outer Space

Ed Wood (Johnny Depp) is a filmmaker. Or at least he will be. Right now, in the year 1952, he just writes and directs plays that barely anyone sees, but nobody has a can-do spirit like Ed Wood, yes sir. He's constantly pitching his ideas for movies to anyone in Hollywood who will listen to him and, wouldn't you know it, he's finally got his shot! He's supposed to direct a movie that will eventually turn into Glen or Glenda and it's the feature that establishes the precedent for what kind of films Ed Wood will direct throughout his entire career: cheaply made, full of continuity errors and full of creative passion. Maybe people don't like his movies, but Ed Woods love making them and that's what drives him as an artist.

Deleted Scene From Tomorrowland Could Have Been A Far Superior Alternate Opening To That Film

SPOILERS FOR TOMORROWLAND FOLLOW!!
I had a number of qualms with Tomorrowland, which saddened me considering how much I adored the past features Brad Bird directed. And while there scenes of success in the film, it's, frankly, an extremely poorly written movie, a surprise considering how excellent Birds past endeavors are in terms of storytelling. What's shocking is that there is a way the film could have improved its opening scene, solely by letting this deleted scene, which you can watch below, start the movie off.
