Actually crispin glover has a very high IQ and went to school for the menally gifted k- 9. He likes to do things that 80 year olds do and has a beautiful mind. He listens to post Beethoven music, owns no tv and is a gentleman, very respectful. Just because he does his own things doesnt make him insane. He has never smoked pot and doubt he ever did much drug taking or heavy drinking. Open your minds, thats all he’s trying to do… make you think

black sheep here, but I enjoyed AIW.

I’m not a big Tim Burton fan (much prefer Baz Lurhmann films), but this was entertaining and I appreciated the over the top feel of the film.

I am a Depp fan, but um, this was not his best role. Yes, Glover was creepy even in the film.

Haven’t seen AIW but do remember the NT story about Crispin Glover’s movie showing here, and he was livid about something, caused a scene, or didn’t get paid??? I do remember reading long ago that Glover has Asperger’s Syndrome.

Was hugely disappointed in my all time favorite story/movie Willy Wonka too and I love Johnny Depp but that entire movie made me cringe. I haven’t see Alice yet but probably should on the big screen.

Glover went off the meter years ago…wasn’t there some bizarre incident on a late night talk show with him? he was sort of interesting as a teenage actor but I think the guy’s gone mental.

There are things about Alice that look cool, and though I do like Johnny Depp, he is the least of what appeals to me. I do agree that his Mad Hatter seems to be another Willie though the movie is visually interesting looking (I have only seen the trailers, not the actual movie).

I usually just like my Johnny Depp as Johnny Depp, he doesn’t need all the wackiness.

Crispin Glover is and has always been someone that has been completely out of my realm of interest. I think he “tries” too hard and that never looks good to me.

I love this post. I’m willing to bet that Mr “artsy” Glover doesn’t like his films deconstructed around a social issue like DS- he likes the less traditional feedback (like his fishing for it with the abuse of snails). But you might be right- perhaps a tad much of Acid is really the answer!
I haven’t seen Alice in Wonderland but I’m not a big Tim Burton fan- I liked the original Willy Wonka best- even though I think Johnny Depp is one of the sexiest boy-men on the planet. I don’t think I’ll spend the money- wait for the DVD.

I was with you all the way until you got to “the wise man” part. I forgot I had written about that film. That’s such a shame that he wouldn’t or couldn’t answer your questions. As for Tweedledum and Tweedledee, I haven’t seen it but I think its a sixth sense – “I see Down’s syndrome people”.
