under or overrated !


wether people think this movie is under or overrated . does it really matter ?
what matters is that this kind of films will always attract its own audience ,the kind of people that look for weird , cool ,and unconventional type of stories . i thought the thora birch rocked in this movie and its very haunting in its own way ,

I've seen this movie enough to study many aspects of it, you know, the characters, the props, filming, and of course the meaning.
My conclusion is if someone underrates it, they just didn't get it, be that as a story or as something they could relate to. And frankly, I don't relate well with the people that don't relate to it!
I love every single existential slice of it.

I recommended Ghost World to a friend and he said he didn't laugh once. I lost a little respect for him.

Thanks for saying that. It's hilarious just as much as if it were on Saturday Night Live.
When Enid is working her mall theatre job, and she makes snarky comments, I mean ...
On the the one hand, you shouldn't talk bad about your product, but on the other hand ...
People like it ! It shows you are a person, you aren't just nodding through every transaction.
Just today someone asked me for something, and I said, wait, give me a few moments ... and I found what he wanted. Just some piece of steel with holes in it.
He said, "Hey good job !" Oh well, I try. Then I just shrugged my shoulders and moved on.

I'm not a woman much less Deanna Durbin, but the old-time glam-shot appeals to me.

I have a friend of mine. Wonderful guy, generous, good natured, well liked. He has the worst taste in everything. He would not get this movie, except maybe since he was a high school teacher, he might recognize something in the girls and he might laugh at the Sidewinder scenes, but I doubt he would think about after it was over and wouldn't want to see it again.
