"the gay Ed Wood"

Jim Tushinski did a crack-up job with his documentary on Peter Berlin. now he's working on a bio of forgotten filmmaker Tom Graeff.
I confess I don't recall having ever seen "Teenagers from Outer Space." but I'm a sucker for a compelling story abt forgotten Hollywood figures. & this sounds like a lulu. I can almost see Richard Lopez salivating.

Alex lovie,

"Teenagers" is by far one of the worst movies ever made. We have it, and so many others like it in our DVD collection. Gooch and I LOVE bad movies. It's slow, boring and tedious. But now that you have enlightened me as to the sexuality of its director, I finally understand the blatant homoeroticism. The teenager’s spacesuits are so too tight.

Is that a Ray Gun in your pocket kisses,

in this still the man on the right is the director. the actor pointing the gun supposedly was his boyfriend.

We're actually working on a feature about Mr. Tom Graeff, called "The Boy From Out of This World." (You can look it up on IMDB) It's pretty exciting stuff.

Since you posted about TFOS, any interest in trading links?
