Just finished watching Ghost World. I read the graphic novel years ago, when i first started at the bookstore. In fact, I think it is the first book I ever bought with my discount. The movie came out in 2001, and I've had the movie for a while, but I never got around to watching.
The characters aren't your typical high-school stereotypes, so I was intrigued about that. However, I never really got into it. Not to say that it was bad, but I guess my mind may have elsewhere, and apparently, this is a movie where your head needs to be in the game. Maybe I'll watch it again some time soon.
I also made the unfortunate discovery that liquor stores in my neck of the woods aren't open at 10 on a Saturday night. How the bloody hell is this possible?!? I guess it was all for the best, cuz I don't think tonight is a night that i should have been drinking.
Surreal moment of the day: I was walking down from Lambertville on the path next to the canal, and I saw a gaggle (?) of ducks as well as a sign that read "Feeding ducks prohibited." This lead me to thinking: what if someone made a movie that featured maniacal, genetically mutitated, flesh-eating ducks. That sign could come in particularly good use as a sight gag in a movie. I think this movie would do quite well, as I don't believe ducks, be they maniacal, genetically mutitated, and flesh-eating or not, have been properly used in film. Plus, I think ducks are the next monkeys, as far as funny is concerned.
