Buy the DVD!: Willard (2003) and its Glorious Music Video

 I liked the 2003 Willard Remake for the most part.

Sadly, we won't get a Sequel Remake in the form of Ben (at least based on the Theatrical Cut's Ending)

However, the DVD itself gives us a bunch of Special Features (like the usual Trailers, Commentary, etc.).


Highlighted here is the Music Video they made for 'Ben' (which itself is covered by Crispin Glover).

He walks out on a Stage and sings to the Rat, which sits on a pillow.
The Audience is full of fancy people, as well as many silly looking ones too.

We also see the Cast playing different roles here...which is confusing.

Shockingly, this 'Captain Crunch' Cameo alongside R. Lee Ermey is not the weirdest one.
As the song goes on (mind you, it is only about 2:30), rats start to appear in the crowd, women undress down to fancy lingerie and they seem to really enjoy each other's company.

There's no GOOD time for someone to walk in on you watching this, but this is by far the worst time.
As the Song comes to a climax- pun fully intended- a bunch of rats swarm onto the stage with Willard.

This effect is less, well, realistic, no?
Oh and in the midst of all of the chaos, a Hitler Cameo.

I couldn't make this up if I tried.
The Song comes to an end and Willard floats up via obvious wire.

That's an intentionally fake-looking effect mind you- this time.
So what is weirder than Crispin Glover singing a Michael Jackson Song?  The video for it, of course.

It is Crispin Glover- is this a surprise?

Oh and if you're too lazy to/not interested in finding a 20 year old DVD to watch this, it is on YT...in 240p.

Just Buy the DVD!
