i removed the part about crumb not liking the film. in the interview with zwigoff listed as a link, zwigoff says that crumb generally liked the film, but found it difficult to comment on as it was all about his own life. This had been misinterpreted as Crumb not liking the film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.79.134.154 (talk) 05:11, 28 August 2006

Turns out Crumb and his wife drew a "scathing" cartoon in the New Yorker magazine about the film, as noted in a review in ==Reception==. That may have contributed to the above notion. --Lexein (talk) 11:30, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Two sources say Crumb got "Best Cinematography" at Sundance 1995, but there's nothing to that effect at sundance.org. So I tagged the claim "dubious". I suppose "unconfirmed" is better... --Lexein (talk) 11:30, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The idea is "set-up" in the Article, that Roger Ebert somehow said that Robert Crumb was reluctant to make the film, but that Terry Zwigoff threatened to "kill himself" if the movie wasn't made.

"Ebert later clarified this in the audio commentary of the film's Criterion Collection re-release."

But the Article fails to mention exactly what this "clarification" was. If the Article is going to include this bit of trivia (and I think it should, as it's interesting) then it should clearly detail the whole situation. Exactly how did the misunderstanding/mistake take place, and how was the situation "clarified". Either tell the whole story, or leave the whole thing out.
