Ed Wood’s ostensible tips and tricks for those of us like him who have dreamt of tinsel town stardom that’s actually more of a sad pleading to abandon all hope ye who enter; this place will exploit you and rip your heart out of your angora sweaters. I liked the chapter about how he helped Bela Lugosi work on his standup routine.

So wonderfully, timelessly cynical. Not inaccurate, though.

Reading this I realized that Ed Wood makes sense when he's viewed as being as much a star-struck fan boy of Hollywood and the screen magazines as the purported audience of this book of advice for the aspiring star.

Also, you could probably make this into a drinking game and drink every time he mentions an angora sweater.
