First off, it's about NOTHING, and I personally couldn't connect with any of the characters. I'm not against movies that aren't plot oriented, but at least give me SOMETHING to connect with- something visual, poetic, subtextual, or character based. With GHOST WORLD, I wasn't able to connect with it on *ANY* of these levels at all, so it all came across as a very empty and pointless exercise indeed. There were a few clever and/or cute/interesting moments, but as a feature film, nothing jellew at all.

Now tell me why you think it's so brilliant.
