The Shrine

<div style='font: 10pt tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>If any of your friends say anything about wanting to see a movie called Ghost World, knock them out cold and stomp on their genitals. If that doesn't do the trick, run very, very, very fast.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt arial; text-align: left; '>What about Ghosts of Mars? It's got Ice Cube, the chick from species, and martian ghosts. How can you go wrong?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>That also looks dumb, but I'd probably rather see that than Ghost World.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>What's Ghost World? Never heard.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Errr, bah. I'm gonna go see It's all about the Benjamins. :P</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana, tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>It's about a girl who just graduated-well, almost-from high school. She grows a bit distant from her best friend, meets a dweebish older guy (played perfectly by Steve Buscemi, who was the only redeeming part of the movie) and just ends up getting into a lot of akward circumstances.

The movie just has no real point, and it's somewhat painful to watch, despite some witty dialouge (mostly from Buscemi's character). Afterwards, I just felt plain bad. Not the kind of bad one feels after seeing a tragic story such as Romeo and Juliet or maybe even Braveheart-just bad.

Here's an unfortunately positive review of the movie. One thing he gets <i>completely</i> wrong is the best friend is "willowy and boyish." As a friend said, if that's boyish, sign me up for homosexuality.

<div style='font: 10pt verdana, tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Ya heard wrong. Really wrong. Someone can argue up and down about how well made it was, whatever commentary it made, or how different it is from mainstream movies, but that doesn't change one thing: I felt really bad after watching the movie.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana, tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Damned if I know. Like I said, the movie doesn't have a point.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt Plakatbau; text-align: left; '>Well, it is based on an avant-guarde comic.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>It was a decent flick that didn't quite go the distance. Reminded me of Total Recall.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana, tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>That doesn't excuse it from not having a point.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt Plakatbau; text-align: left; '>Sure it does. It just doesn't excuse your expectations.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana, tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Eh? Expecting some sort of a point from a movie is very reasonable.</div>
