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.
speaking of accordions, would you like a picture of a very young North Korean girl playing one on their state TV. Send a mail to jwmaycan@yahoo.com and I'll send you picture. Weird.
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.
