Film-O-pinions: Ghost World
This movie is weird. Haha. Really Really fucking weird. Like last semester I had a midwestern RA who acquired an Northeast “goombah” freakin’ accent over the course of the year, and I’d talk to him occasionally. But it was strange talking to the kid like mid-way through the semester cause he’d be “AYY! y’aaall.” This movie is funny weird like that.
It’s strength is in the unabashedness with which it presents the Weirdos and whatchamacallilts that make up the cast of characters. The main character is Weird. She’s Enid, the chick from American Beauty (RE:Boobs!), she’s the gothiest, punkiest brat this side of some small town in Ohio. She’s also got a friend! Rebecca, Scarlett Johanssen and shit, she’s fine. They talk like punky bitches and make fun of nerds nerdier than them. I think the scene where they follow the two satinists rockin black Umbrellas in the daytime encapsulates the film’s theme; Everyone is weird to a certain extent, the trick is to mock the ones worse than you.
I agree with that. And its especially handy message if you attend Film school. BUY IT. A must-watch for Art Students
FAvorite Lines/moments: “Take my life…PLEAASSSEE.” 
The kids reaction when the teacher goes “I thought that was your father”, “Yeeah..that’s not happening”
