It's Ghost World! I boldly predicted that there would be a Five Star movie amongst these 2000 movies. Before we watched Ghost World, we hadn't found one yet. Now that we have watched Ghost World, we still haven't found one. It's a shame. I think there's a lot going for this - more than Madge who hated it - but it doesn't quite deliver on the early promise. Oh well. I guess we'll just have to keep watching movies until we find a Five Star Comic Book Movie if such a thing even exists. It's fast becoming our Rosebud. Plus! We take a look at the writers and director. Daniel Clowes wrote the original comic and later the screenplay and Terry Zwigoff co-wrote and directed. Zwigoff is best known for this and Crumb which is a documentary which sounds fantastic. I haven't worked out a way to include a documentary season yet but if/when I do, Crumb is going right on it. We'll definitely be sticking Fritz the Cat on a list - both a watchlist and the sort of list that dirty boys end up on because it was the first ever X-Rated animated feature. That's a fun fact, isn't it Ladies and Gentleman. It paved the way for modern adult-animation but we're not talking about that. We're here to talk about a far less interesting movie. Also! We discuss the conundrum relating to the main characters. They're always heralded as iconic and representative of the teenage experience. However, their voices are coming out of the head of initially one man and later two. Is it still representative if the creators have no idea what it's really like to be a teenage girl? We also ponder whether you'd get away with such a film these days considering how underrepresented female writers and directors still are in the film industry and certainly were at the time.
