Ok, now, I'm watching Parenthood, and Steve Martin is in it of course, and he has his grey hair, but he's apparently playing a 35 year old.
Now, I've seen a couple 30 year olds with grey hair in my life, just a few stray ones. But, my question is, when's the earliest a person can start getting grey hair, and if so, is the Steve Martin portrayl in Parenthood not as glaringly incorrect as it seems?

Quote:If you ever had the inkling that there just wasn't something quite right about Crispin Glover you just might be right as we have a special look at his directing and writing debut film, What is It?
What is it indeed!
By clicking through to the next page to check out this film you are going to be witness to a film that the Sundance Film Festival claims they are proud to present as they describe it as a film that defies easy summarization but is a triumph of cinematic irreverence and uncompromising creativity.
How does Glover himself sum up the film in which most of the actors have Down's Syndrome, but the film is not about Down's Syndrome? Well, "Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, a pipe, and how to get home, as tormented by a hubristic racist inner psyche."
Either way, this is an interesting peek at a truly independent film, which you will soon find out from the Rated R trailer.
The film is screening for the first time at the Sundance Film Festival this month and in all likelihood it will not be getting wide distribution, so cherish what peeks you get at this interesting film. We have a peek at the trailer as well as a gallery of 11 stills including the one sheet.
To check out the goodies, cast, stills, trailer and more click here or the pic above, or, before moving on, you can check out some quotes on the film below.
Scenes with naked women in elephant masks, Shirley Temple, Glover being lowered deus-ex-machina style into a Maxfield Parrish scene...It's like Fellini on psychedelics -- wildly creative but completely twisted. - Jane Ganahl, San Francisco Examiner
Possibly the most bizarre, uncompromising movie ever made by a major Hollywood name. - Gilbert Garcia, Phoenix New Times
Crispin Glover... America's Best Psychotic energy. - Richard Lacayo, Time Magazine
What Is It? is an outre, bewildering, unnerving, surreal, blackly comic film. It is brilliant in its sensitivity and humanity and infantile in its excess. - Darius James, Spin
Quote:THE STORY:
Mr. Glover explains the plot thus: "Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, a pipe, and how to get home, as tormented by an hubristic racist inner psyche."
The Sundance Film Festival describes it as:
After 10 years and numerous incarnations in the making, we are euphoric to present the world premiere of Crispin Hellion Glover's What Is It? What it is, is an aptly titled film that defies easy summarization but is a triumph of cinematic irreverence and uncompromising creativity.
The film (which contains graphic sexuality) flows between controversial imagery and story lines: a minstrel in blackface who aspires to be an invertebrate by injecting snail enzymes into his cheek; a Shirley Temple dictator in Nazi garb; a naked man with cerebral palsy lying on a giant seashell, being fondled by a naked woman wearing a monkey mask; talking snails getting repeatedly salted; and watching over all, an enthroned Glover in a full-length fur coat.
What Is It? is a Dadaist deconstruction of the hero's journey as well as a hallucinogenic trip deep into the mind of its bizarre creator. It is a thoroughly challenging visual experience as well as a compelling allegory for society and its outcasts. As the visual absurdity of the film rides along at a fever pitch, Glover's innate humanism injects the seemingly inhuman scenario with a deep pathos that captures the viewers' attention and consideration. Truly one of the most original films ever created, What Is It? will shock, intrigue, confound, disturb, and amaze even the most jaded viewers.

local news rules
Now, the people look young, but I doubt it's high school. Maybe community access, but I think that it might just be really small town local weather, and someone who is really really uncomfortable in front of the camera.

De Niro and Scorsese Discuss 'Taxi Driver' Sequel
20 January 2005 (WENN)
Screen legend Robert De Niro has reunited with iconic director Martin Scorsese to work on a sequel to their classic movie Taxi Driver. The Oscar-winning actor, who starred as disturbed Vietnam veteran Travis Bickle in the 1976 film, has confirmed the movie veterans are mulling over script ideas for a follow-up to the gritty original. Apart from his comedy turn in Meet The Parents and its recent sequel Meet The Fockers, De Niro has starred in a series of flop films - and critics are hoping Travis Bickle's resurrection will restore his reputation as one of the greatest dramatic actors of all time. De Niro, 61, says, "I was talking with Martin Scorsese about doing what I guess you'd call a sequel to Taxi Driver, where he is older."
