Odds are you missed this comic-book movie last summer, since it didnt feature radioactive thyroid cases smashing tanks. Dont miss it again. Starring underrated Paul Giamatti as permanently pissed-off underground comic writer Harvey Pekar, it features both re-created scenes from Pekars life and Pekar himself commenting on the goings-on. Its gloomy and cringe-inducingly funnykinda like your life. Not sold? Time magazine once declared Pekar the Lenny Bruce of comic books and the extras include the My Movie Year comic by Pekar, a neat tie-in showcasing his unique style.
