Who is Gnarls Barkley?

Gnarls Barkley's video "Smiley Faces" won an MTV Video Music Award for best editing (Ken Mowe was the editor).

It's very witty - clever - and I, naturally, love it cause Dean Stockwell is in it. It's so silly ... it's almost like Zelig for hip-hop. And these mockumentary interviews with Stockwell and Dennis Hopper at the beginning and end of the video are very funny. "Milton Corpuscle ..." hahahahaha

See video below. I love Hopper's over-seriousness. "I have made Gnarls Barkley my life's work ..." hahahaha And Stockwell's emphatic gesture: "There is NO Gnarls Barkley ..." yet you get the sense that he might still have some doubt about it.

How weird is it that you are on this Dean Stockwell kick and he winds up in a video for GNARLS BARKLEY???

I think you should identify actors that you love who are perhaps sliding into anonymity and obsess about them. The energy will save them from the brink.

You can be the blog version of Travolta's Tarantino!

I LOVE Gnarls Barklay. Did you see them do "Crazy" on some award show all dressed as Star Wars characters? The whole CD is great. And Hopper and Stockwell in their video??? I can't stand it!!! TOO COOL
