One Last Video of Crispin Hellion Glover

What sort of nut-job gives their kid the middle name “Hellion” (meaning

“troublemaker”)? Bruce Glover, that’s who. Bruce Glover played one of

the two creepiest guys who tried to kill James Bond: Mr. Wint, of Mr.

Wint and Mr. Kidd, the creepy-geek assassins from Diamonds are Forever:

Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd. Mr. Kidd is holding the “bombe surprise” from the end of the movie.

Here’s the final video treat starring Crispin Glover: a video of the song Ben from the remake of the movie Willard [PG-13:

no nudity, Disney-fied creepy, cleavage and rats, rats, rats!]. The

video gets bonus marks from me for all-out surrealism, the lingerie

girls and…yes…accordion!

In the original movie, the track was performed by Michael Jackson, so

in the end, it’s full creepy-freak celebrity-on-creepy-freak celebrity

action!

 (I would so love to see Messrs. Jackson and Glover perform Ebony and Ivory. Wouldn’t you?)

  • I am so loving this stuff. Keep it up! I have to see Willard after all, I guess. Glover was damn amazing in Charlie's Angels. I think it's great when he acts all flipped out. I just assume he's acting. If not, oh well.

  • At some point, you have to ask yourself what separates a Crispin Hellion Glover from the garden variety nutcase you see living on the street. So far, all I can come up with is "an agent."

  • If you get the Willard DVD there is a fair bit about the accordian on the 'making of...' documentary.

    Something about it being hard to tune, so if you use two at the same time it's like a choir.

    And that the orchestra that did the soundtrack was the first to have a accordian section.
