Seeing Nurse Betty over the
Seeing Nurse Betty over the weekend reminded me that I need to learn much more about Crispin Glover, whom I've heard much about but know very little about. I do know that he's been in a pretty impressive range of films, including Dead Man, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, and Back to the Future (anyone for Six Degrees of Crispin Glover?). But more interesting is that he writes poetry and other books and makes his own films, including What Is It?, which has evidently not been released, but has been screened sporadically. (He also tried to kick David Letterman in a Late Show appearance, and later said that a Crispin Glover impostor had actually been the culprit.) This fansite (which, incidentally, looks like a great place to start learning more about Glover) has a loooong description of What Is It?.
A side note: There's a part in Nurse Betty where Glover says, "No, you shut up" in this way that is exactly like how Marty McFly said "No, Biff, you shut up" in Back to the Future. Same expression, gesture, tone of voice, everything. My wife and I think it must have been intentional.
