Just watched Helvetica and Crumb.

Helvetica was a bit dull. Too many designers interviewed, not enough 
depth. It's more interesting now to go back and read about some of the 
most notable (Pro-helvetica Massimo Vignelli and anti-helvetica Erik 
Spiekermann). I got interested by exploring Helvetica's cousin Univers 
when drafting some bicycle logos. Like the font; Don't like the movie.

Hadn't ever heard of Crumb. Still don't have any interest in his art. 
But the movie is excellent. Watched it twice. Take away the drawing 
talent, and Crumb is my friend (best man at my wedding) David.

Suggestions?
