He did say he catches flak from all sides for that act.Ĭrumb is a supreme poet of masculine self-loathing. There has to be a third view of masculinity but on dark days, and increasingly on even slightly dusky days, I can no longer see it.Īlthough I did hear a Scottish guy on the radio today saying that he does a show where he plays Andrea Dworkin, as an act of solidarity. ![]() It's almost like on the one hand we have men who Do Stuff, and they're horrendous because they you know invade countries and murder people or manufacture landmines and brain baby seals, and pat themselves on the back for so doing, and then there's men who Don't Do Stuff except sit around despising themselves for not being able to manufacture landmines or napalm jungles and invade Iraq and all that stuff. ![]() In which James Urbaniak plays Crumb because Crumb was friends with Harvey Pekar who is the subject matter of the movie.Īll these movies have the P Bryant Unreserved Recommendation, which is a guy you can trust.Īnd considering these three movies AND this giant coffee table book, I'm filled with revulsion and despair at the vista of masculine sexuality and self-loathing here displayed.
