Crispin Glovers performance...


Amazing. The crazy tone and inflection of his voice, all his "speeded-out" mannerisms, his (dull one moment emblazened another) eyes. Wow. All of it. He is amazing in this movie, and the major reason I keep coming back to this movie.

Crispin (and his dad, Bruce) are on another wavelength and the rest of us are trying to catch up.

Glover steals every scene but I thought the casting was great. Reeves, Glover, Hopper, the actors who played Kaanu's mom and stepdad, to the guy working the counter at the convenience store, all the actors brought something to the movie.

To the people saying they wanted more subtlety, these weren't nice teens from well to do families. This movie is about neurotic dysfunctional people. There is just no place for subtlety in this movie.

Absolutely appalling actor - like an early John Waters film without Edith or Divine. How did this man get work - ugly as hell and no talent. Must have turned a good trick.

When I saw this movie I thought he was the next DiNero. Have NOT seen anything by Glover since, worth mentioning.
