Scarlett Johansson is in three of my favorite films, Lost in Translation, Match Point, and this one. <br />Can’t really remember the soundtrack that well, which tells me it’s been a while since I last watched Ghost World.

This is the movie I really took notice of Scarlet Johansen, She was cute, but still kind of young so I really didn't want to find her hot even though we're only just a few years apart. The soundtrack was great although I would only want to hear it in the actual movie and not on a seperate C.D. or digital download. Will check out David Boring a little later.

Maybe because it's ending is ambigious. With the comic, people led to their own conclusions, Rebecca made something with herself, while Enid is speculated to have commited suicide, due to subtle clues that compelled to this conclusion.<br /><br />Daniel Clowes allowing us to make up our own minds about the ending of his story is almost an honour. It’s as if we get to play a bigger part in the characters’ lives than if everything was set out nicely before us.<br /><br />The ending is superbly surreal. It didn't butt in, but was organic to the story. I would have it no other way. It is faithful to the comic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-18826637171255810682011-09-22T04:20:37.526-07:002011-09-22T04:20:37.526-07:00@ erin : Thanks for your comments on Daniel Clowes...@ erin : Thanks for your comments on Daniel Clowes, he's a unique talent,Ghost World's dialogue is so sharp and witty. <br />I haven't seen SNL, maybe scarlett johansson is going through an Al Pacino voice change, just the other way round, ha ha ( :Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-53555083368990359812011-09-20T23:50:28.409-07:002011-09-20T23:50:28.409-07:00I haven't watched Ghost World in a few years, ...I haven't watched Ghost World in a few years, but it is definitely much more focused than its comic book origin. I don't know the specifics of the production, but obviously this relates to the comic being serialized, and probably with the date of its publication -- Ghost World the comic seems to be the kind of bridge between Clowes' earlier, "weirder" stuff (like A Velvet Glove Cast in Iron) and his more recent stuff dealing with more realism and character development (Wilson, Mister Wonderful), and the film falls more into that latter category.<br /><br />I think Scarlet Johansson's voice somehow got higher, though. Maybe she was just nervous, but I remember much bemusement when she hosted SNL, and her tones were not as bass as I'd recalled.erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11987574782351297558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-56237963358207509522011-09-10T15:35:52.664-07:002011-09-10T15:35:52.664-07:00@ Andina: Maybe Scarlett is going to be the audrey...@ Andina: Maybe Scarlett is going to be the audrey hepburn or grace kelly of our generation.

Maybe you need to be a little bit weird yourself too enjoy it, ha ha ( : <br /><br />@ Cherokee : I agree, Daniel Clowes is a talented author, I like his humour. The other Clowes film, Art School Confidential (2006) wasn't quite as strong, but if you're a big-time Clowes fan and haven't seen it yet, it's worth a look! I didn't think the graphic novel Wilson (2010) was as memorable as his previous work.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-81710203356613112812011-09-06T12:06:22.356-07:002011-09-06T12:06:22.356-07:00Daniel Clowes is one of my all-time favourite writ...Daniel Clowes is one of my all-time favourite writers, so I feel a slight embarrassment that I have never read David Boring! I need to correct this at some point as I have heard so many good things about it, and I am sure it will live up to the hype. <br /><br />Ghost World, on the other hand, in my eyes, is wonderful writing (both for the film and the comic).

This movie is close to my heart because it was pretty similar to the relationship with my best friend from high school.
