Zolghadri nails Robert's brand of nerdy confidence, while also finding the pitiable in him. He uses others as pawns in his own ambition - Wallace, yes, but also his friend Miles (Miles Emanuel), who also draws, but not at the expense of everything else in his life. Robert is often arrogant and cruel, a child of privilege who thinks he's a rebel. Zolghadri, who has appeared in Eighth Grade and Alex Strangelove, is in the unenviable position of playing a hero that you will probably want to punch in the face at least sometime throughout Funny Pages' 90 minutes.

While Wallace is initially peeved by Robert's eager questions, he eventually sees an opportunity for himself, and starts to entertain the teen's desire to be taught the ways of an actual professional comic book artist. Robert's ears perk up, however, when he realizes that Wallace used to be a color separatist at Image Comics. There, he meets Wallace (Matthew Maher), a squirrely, anxious man facing potential jail time. To support himself, Robert gets a job as a stenographer for the public defender assigned to him when he's caught breaking into his dead teacher's apartment. After his beloved art teacher (Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis) dies in a gruesome car accident that Robert witnesses, Robert tells his frustrated parents that he's quitting school, and moves out of their upper middle class home in Princeton for an illegal residence in Trenton that he shares with two older men. He has a job at a comic book store where he and the other employees turn their nose up at superhero fare in favor of the weird and overtly sexual. Robert is a talented if maybe a little too assured high schooler who wants to make drawing perverse comics his life’s work. If you can stand it, it's a brutal coming-of-age story about a kid's own snobbery coming to bite him in the ass. It's no surprise then that Funny Pages was produced by Uncut Gems' Josh and Benny Safdie, the kings of stressful cinema, and has the same quasi-voyeuristic, should-I-really-be-watching-this energy.

For starters, you maybe a therapist, or even just a friend.
#WIERD FUNNY PAGES HOW TO#
If you’re looking up how to pretend to be possessed or how to appreciate death metal, you might need more than a wikiHow page to help you in your quest. But some of the entries on this list of funny wikiHow articles are 100% bonkers. A lot of these articles are for things that you don’t need someone to tell you how to do, like tying your shoes or making ice. (Unless someone actually snuck their cat into work, that article’s actually pretty detailed.) Take a look at these wikiHow articles that you won’t believe really exist.It doesn't matter who wrote these weird wikiHow pages, they’re amazing in the same way that a car crash, or taquitos from 7-11 are amazing. wikiHow is a great way to learn how to do something new, but the dumb wikiHow articles collected on this list have helped no one learn how to do anything. One of the many sad truths of existence is that everyone can’t be an expert at everything, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t learn about as many things as possible.
