...Wood got the last laugh: his films were rediscovered, first as camp and now as fodder for a light industry in cultural revisionism. The shaggy hagiography includes a breezily lurid documentary, Ed Wood: Look Back in Angora; a second documentary on the making of Plan 9; and even a porno homage -- Plan 69 from Outer Space. And now there's Tim Burton's surprisingly listless biopic, known simply as Ed Wood. Once a never-was, Wood is now a brand name...
...naked capitalism of Woodstock '94 ran counter to the professed ideals of many of the musicians who played there. The roster included such "alternative" groups as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Porno for Pyros and Candlebox, which are supposed to be anti-commercialism.

A plastic casing forces the viewer to stare at the monitor in order to comprehend the video. After an initial shock, the audience becomes conscious...
Looking through the breast implants has powerful effects. In the porno montage, they unmask the misogyny and artificial sex appeal of breasts. With these bags of silicone, these porno actresses have a commodity value. They remain nameless, but hyper-sexualized. In the case of the breast-feeding film, the bags remind the viewer of the physiological value of breasts that a male-oriented culture has trivialized and reduced to a sexual function. In the light of the recent problems with breast augmentation, LoCurto and Outcault offer the viewer a more natural alternative perspective of the female body...
