Will the thievery never cease?
First some little-known writer named Gunter Grass — I hear he won a Nobel something or another — decides to call his new book Crabwalk.
Now comes Crabwalk The Movie. No, it’s not a harrowing documentary of me surfing for Jason Bateman factoids. It’s a 17-minute short that apparently showed at SXSW while I was there. “When a 26-year-old college-educated deadbeat takes his freeloading too far, he’s forced by his parents to spend the day in search of gainful employment. After stealing a moped, losing his under shorts and getting into a fistfight, he finds much more.”
“Highly satisfying!” — Filmthreat.com.
