Watched "Ghost World" last night. What do y'all think of that movie?

[Coventina]

Does it do justice to the comic book (which I haven't read)?
Is the comic a serial? Or a one-off?

I was very intrigued by the movie.

It's actually pretty eerie the way it followed a lot of events that happened to me as I graduated high school. Except that the movie condenses it down to a month or so, whereas the events in my life that corresponded were spun out over a year or so.

4. I've only seen him in "Fargo" which I didn't really enjoy

too intense for me.

So obviously I haven't seen "Reservoir Dogs" either.

But I loved him in "Ghost World". He was perfect for that part. Just total perfection.


on edit: stoopid spelling error

7. Quite good. I had read the graphic novel by Daniel Clowes first,

and was delighted by the movie's adherence to the feel of it as well as the movie's invention of Buscemi character and plotline, which hadn't existed in the novel.

8. So it is just a one volume work? (Spoiler)

Does she commit suicide in the end?

That's what I'm assuming the final scene of the movie represents.

10. No, no suicide.

Here's a link to the graphic novel.

12. iirc the final panel of the gn was pretty much the same as the film..

Ghost World is one of my recent favorites. Good story, great dialog, excellent acting, plus Thora and Scarlett are a couple of cuties!

9. I haven't read the comic either

I think it's just a single graphic novel. Really enjoyed the movie though.

13. One of my favorite movies.

Reminds me so much of my best friend and I in high school.
Great flick.

15. Thought it was great...

Although I haven't read the comic. I'd love to see them do the same to David Boring, which is one of my favorites.
