does anybody think it's creepy that he speaks EXACTLY like R. Crumb? And he calls his dad, grim, just like Crumb?

I'm not a hater. I actually loved CRUMB and Ghostworld was good. Just bizarre.

Haters are much worse than nerds. Nerds are future millionaires, haters are future suicide victims because they have no one in their lives. Don't be a hater.

Zwigoff is an A hole.....and so is this comic book nerd.

Now i see why Zwigoff's "Crumb" was so good.

Wow, he really has Crumb's mannerisms down doesn't he?

[SidewalkFrequencies]

you to can learn to speak like a comic obsessed recluse at the "Robert Crumb school of linguistic phrasing".

Crumb's a genius (which isn't to say that he's not very complicated). Zwigoff's documentary on Crumb was terrific. But you can see him scavenging heavily from Crumb's life in the mostly awful "Art School Confidential." Meanwhile Ghost World was wildly overrated. It's a decent film but almost solely thanks to Steve Buscemi...his performance essentially saves the film.

And yes it's weird that Zwigoff talks with teh exact same affectations as Crumb.

oh. i didn't know he had something to do with this until now actually, very interesting. i've just started to discover him and ghost world is one of my long time favourite movies.

I think that they have been close friends for 30+ years, in the same band together, etc. I bet you talk somewhat like your friends too, but don't notice is as much...

@Snarg3000 I thought the same thing!
