The Oompa Loompa left me cold too.
I recently watched Ed Wood again and laughed myself silly. First time I have seen it since the original release and I had forgotten about Wood's cross dressing. Seeing Captain Jack Sparrow/Sweeney Todd in angora is so funny. Martin Landau is spectacular as Bella.
Were those scruffy Yorkies with the Chihuahuas when Wood goes to check on Bella at his home? |
I got in a debate with my friends about this too. I didn't like the original, Gene Wilder was just TOO creepy for me. But I DID like him in Young Frankenstein
I love Mel Brooks. I loved the *new* oompa, which was one guy (Deep Roy), the old oompas creeped me out. Well I was a kid back then.
I LOVED Martin as Bella. "F*** Karloff!" LOL
