Tricia and I watched Ghost World last night on DVD. It was almost a good flick. I really enjoyed the first 4/5ths of it, and then it just died. I was watching a terrific film, and then it was as if the writers simply quit.
It was David Byrne-esque, and I enjoy that, but because it had no ending I just can’t recommend it. What was annoying is that it wasn’t as if it had a deep, “artsy” ending that I just didn’t “get”, and it didn’t have a rage-inducing, horrible ending (like the remake of Planet of the Apes). It just had no ending. Don’t bother.
