He just went with what made him happy, and he made some truely great cinema. I think people often look at his films as "so bad, they're good" but as someone who has viewed 100000000000 worse films than any of his films, I honestly think the "incompetence" is exagerrated: he truely has some standard, mediocre directorial techniques going on. Not much in the way of style.. but tons in the way of substance. It's not like all of his shots were out of focus or anything. He knew what he was doing. I don't think the "badness" was completely unintentional; he knew he was doing something ridiculous. Watch ORGY OF THE DEAD if you don't believe me.
Ed Wood rules.
I know this has nothing to do with your thread, but ..
