Sure, but he makes a living out of these weird guys. Just think of Bartleby (http://www.uk.imdb.com/title/tt0230025/) or, more commerically, the Thin Man from the two Charlie's Angels.

Dude, I saw that a couple of days ago and it was so wierd I didn't even want to blog it.

What the heck happened to Glover? It's like he's become the character he played in that Charlie's Angels flick.

Woah.

Glover has always been quite strange, but I never knew how strange until now. It kind of reminded me of David Lee Roth's weird personal promotional video "No Holds Bar-B-Que" that he made a few years ago. Marty McFly should worry.

Crispin is one of the most intelligent guys in the business.

I'm going to be blunt:

That footage looks like it crawled out of David Lynch's ass.

I Think I saw a pair of new pants in there somewhere. Might belong to the Emperor?

Seriously: The trailer is crap. I agree with evergreen.

I think he's a straightup madman. But he's been that way for a while. Remember, he was kicked off Letterman in 1987 for being a jackass.

I think this looks sweet.
I heard hes been working on this off and on for close to 20 years using money from his roles in feature films to help finance its construction.

To me the trailer helps sell the title and it has the feel of 60s psychadelic italian film.

Plot or no plot I cant wait to see it.

was it on letterman or leno where he did the interview on acid? i can;t rmemeber...but it was a great interview.

I saw Crispin on Letterman last year, so he's off Dave's blacklist. I remember the much earlier appearance that got him in trouble with Dave. He did a karate kick that came a bit too close to Dave's face for comfort. He was definitely acting odd that night; maybe he was on acid.

Actually, that Letterman appearance was all a scripted/planned act. It was meant to promote his new film Rubin And Ed, in which he plays the character Rubin Farr. Crispin went on Letterman AS Rubin Farr...and there was no acid involved.

Anyone who knows even a smidgen about the man knows that he is a big fan of counter-culture, and this film is a part of that. It is surreal, thought-provoking, and yes, weird. That is sort of the definition of counter-culture...culture that is not 'normal,' which is thus by definition deemed 'weird.'

Anyway, I look forward to seeing this movie.

*end rant*

Your wrong. He didn't plan that out. Go back to jerking off to willard. The man is a looney. Nothing more. Fucking faggot.

Please! It was an act. Only blind can't see that. And his movies looks interesting.

Don't confuse creative genuis with being insane. Just because someone is crazy enough to produce such material doesn't mean it is entertaining, enlightening, or intelligent.

YEah, its going to be entertaining Matt, you ignorant fuck ass/. And I know it wasnt an act, whoever said it was. That was really him acting the way he does. GO DIE.

I saw "What is it?" a few years ago. It was a ROUGH cut and had terrible sound. It was part of a tour Glover did called "Crispin Hellion Glover's Big Slide Show." He did book readings and such with pics of his collage books.

ANYWAY...

At the time, I though "What is it?" was more like "What's the point?" However, I've never been able to get it out of my mind. It was so visually mind-altering, and... well, my point is, it's NOT A STORY OR ANYTHING YOU'D REMEMBER FOR ITS PLOT. Really, it's a piece of art. And you'll have to watch it with that in mind. Don't expect to "get" it, and do expect to hate it. I used to hate it. But I'm actually looking forward to seeing the finished version. That's what art does. It agitates and stays with you, even if you don't know what you saw.

Tomorrow when you wake up you will still be loser nobodies posting on a lame forum and Crispin Glover will still be a mad genius.

So there.

I'm curious to see the film but judging from the trailor it could go either way. I enjoy unique "art" films but there really should be some substance along with the unusual images. He is dancing on a fine line between art and complete crap...

look, i try not to be really judgemental or anything... but when I saw the Letterman thing, I really started to think this guy was looney. And then 'Clowny Clown Clown'... the video is just screwed up, like a twisted third grader's fantasies. Complete with third grade 'scraping for a word to rhyme' rhymes.
Many people think that he was on acid during the interview, and many people think he wasn't. From what I've seen, I don't think he was on acid. He might very well be paranoid... thats what I'm starting to think after seeing how he had the newspaper articles etc... I think he may need some time with a psychiatrist. I haven't seen his other work so I don't know if it is what I call 'art' and I'm not suggesting that he get help so that his work is 'normal' but I think that maybe he has some problems that would make his life easier if they were addressed.

listen up douche, that was the front of your brain speaking. ok and.. uh .. you are being exactly what your saying you are tyring not to be.. judgemental . and i can imagine that glover doesnt need your advice on counselling matters dunce. but uh.. thanks.

Your all crazy. I was just readin this because of a compfused video compilation of how insane Crispin Glover is. http://www.compfused.com/directlink/746/ If he isn't crazy then he is just stupid. Either way he is not worth wasting more than this post on.

Well...

...as far as I'm concerned whether you like "What is it?" and Crispin Hellion Glover or hate him you have all done exactly what he wanted...

...you have cared enough and devoted enough emotion to his work to have formed an opinion and made a comment!

So...for those that appreciate the intelligent, eccentric and painstakingly thought-out work he produces then I'm with you.

For those of you that hate him well, you have wasted precious time and emotional energy on his subject material and on reading this post.

Sucked in.

Oh, and for Robert Buro (and any similar posts) who posted :

I pity you for having such a boring and meaningless life that you must resort to purile insults to give meaning to your existence. Never mind, one day someone will say something nice about you and you will once again have a purpose.
