I fear I may invite your wrath but I was quite disappointed with 'Ghostworld' myself...
I wanted to love it, and I felt it was over-long. And Steve Buscemi (great actor) just annoyed me.


Wow - this thread's ancient!

each to their own i guess - and i do seem to get overly defensive where ghost world is concerned... i suppose i just want everybody to enjoy it as much as i did!

Like I say, I wanted to love it... I went to see it at an advance Edinburgh Film Festival screen thingy. It looked great, it was really colourful and bold (like a film based on a comic book should look) ...but naw.


Oh, by the way... you wouldn't happen to have seen (I can't believe I'm typing this but...) 'Not Another Teen Movie' by any chance, would you? It has Bikini Kill on the soundtrack... and I believe the main (geeky, natch) girl character says at one point 'I want to be Kathleen Hannah'.

I'm sure there was something else cool about it but I cannae mind... it might have had Elliot Smith or someone else on the soundtrack as well. can't quite recall exactly.
(Shit film though, of course).

skimmedmilk is on a distinguished road
I love Ghostworld....it's amazing. Though I know a lot of people who don't get it. I guess you really have to look to get it. Anyway.....virgin suicides..the film is cute. The film is just not faithful to the book really...but is a good film on it's own.
