I hope they discuss this tomorrow morning:
From today's Daily News:
Crispin Glover's new film, "What Is It?" (which had a midnight premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on Thursday), features swastikas, the N-word, a dancing minstrel in blackface (who gets lynched by a mob of retarded people), organ music composed by Satanist Anton LeVey, two kids with Down syndrome having sex in a cemetery, a Shirley Temple look-alike as a Nazi dominatrix, a naked actor with cerebral palsy being pleasured by an African-American woman wearing a monkey mask, a dozen real snails killed (so the minstrel can inject them into his face), plus a soundtrack with original vocals by Charles Manson.
Asked after the screening whether the actors with Down syndrome had liked the film, Glover - who wrote, directed and edited the movie, in addition to appearing in it - replied matter-of-factly, "It isn't for them."
He added: "I've been working on [the film] for over 10 years. It's the first part of a trilogy."
