I really, really want to see Crispin Glover one of these days. I do hope he tours for a while, more so that he comes out this way again. I just continue being in the right place at the wrong time.

The bit where he read his books was neat. The film... not so much. It required his atist statement to mean anything. I'm not thrilled with art that can't stand, even if only tenuously, on its own.

I was just joking with Beth about that sort of art the other night... much like the art where without a profound title, it would just be a bad photo of a cluttered sink or something.

Where the artistry isn't actually inherent in the creation, yeah. The film was very much like that. It made me wish I'd ditched after the books and gone to Aimee Mann.
