Crispin Glover in Dublin this weekend

Just got this email from crispinglover.com concerning a screening of his the first two parts of his "IT" trilogy in Dublin this weekend as part of the The Darklight Festival. If I had known about this I would have booked tickets ages ago as I've been wanting to see parts one and two for some time now.

For those that don't recognise the name, he played George McFly in the original Back to the Future and more recently Grendel in Beowulf.

Hello!

I will continue touring this week with parts one and two of the "IT" trilogy

What is it?

and

It is fine. EVERYTHING IS FINE!

and performing my dramatic narrative readings of eight different books otherwise known as

Crispin Hellion Glover's Big Slide Show
(parts I and II)

Then the film will be shown and then there will be a Q and A and then a book signing.

The tour comes to Dublin Ireland Friday, June 27 and 28 at the Irish Film Institute.

I will perform Crispin Hellion Glover's Big Slide Show I and present part one of the IT trilogy:

I'd love to go for a pint with that guy. You just know you'd end up trying to duct-tape some midgets to an elephant or something as equally whacky.

Proof of Glover's awesomeness. His album is one of the most surreal and brilliant things that I have ever heard.

This sounds great,can't believe I hadn't heard anything about it,until now...thanks for the heads up

Further proof of his awesomeness

The man is a lunatic

Of course in years to come that could be regarded in the same way as Shatner's recorded materials

wow :eek:

is he high, is it an act, or is he genuinely like that??

iMax

Jeez I really wish they'd lined him up on the late late, can you imagine Kenny trying to deal with that ? Such professionalism from Letterman

madrab

i think if he were on the late late show, it would probably be the only reason i would watch it

the guy is as mad as a brush, more power to him

johnny_ultimate

Both of those videos are amongst the oddest things I have ever seen.
The David Letterman one is just bizarre.

Creature

Seeing him on The Late Late Show would single handedly justify the cost of the TV licence for a whole year and make up for all of RTE's badly made programmes of the last 20 years.

faceman

The guy is a nutter, but great fun to watch

Dudess

He's actually kinda hot looking... Not exactly boyfriend material though.

Galvasean

I actually worked as his security at the Darklight. He's a really sound guy.

Dudess

He's extremely handome in this pic:

No, he's playing a character. See the film Rubin and Ed.

Dudess

He has been typecast quite a bit as the same nervous guy for which George McFly seems to be the blueprint.

Remember him in Wild At Heart as the dude who'd stay up all night making sandwiches and get hysterical when the reality was broken to him every so often that it wasn't Christmas...?

Galvasean

What he's doing these days is far from typecast I'll tell ya..

Dudess

Yeah, I know he's moved on all right. Nurse Betty (2000) was the last time I know of him being George McFly-esque - and he was basically the exact same. Probably a bit of self referencing going on...

He's great!

Galvasean

I shook the mans hand. You can touch me now...

I said goddamnit who wants to touch me?!!?!?

Dudess

I would like to touch you.

I was just going through my DVD collectin and realised that I own every film of his which has been released on DVD, I don't think I own any other actors complete filmography.

Galvasean

Buy Tiger's Tail and you'll have mine

Hey Galvasean,

Was there any craic out of him at that thing or were you only with him a few minutes?
I went to the first one on the friday with an open mind but found it difficult viewing.

Couldn't say I liked it, but won't pretend I understood it either. Thought he seemed a very likeable guy though. Certainly a lot going on upstairs.
