: Couple of reasons:
: 1) I didn't like the icky statutory storyline or the implications about how women are empty-headed and/or cruel.
: 2) It was completely depressing and negative about life and the prospects for change. It DE-inspired me.
: 3) I kept expecting for the plot to actually go somewhere, or for there to be a storyline arc, and there wasn't. Enid starts out bored, doing stupid things, does some random things through the movie, nothing changes, etc. etc., the end.
: I'll grant you Buscemi was great, but he made even CON AIR bearable for a few moments, so that's just personal talent and charisma. And the visuals were very nicely done, plus the costuming and production detail was excellent. That's about the best I can say for that. I guess I was just expecting more.

: : I can see your problem with the first two, but what was wrong with GHOST WORLD? I thought that movie was awesome. Probably some of Steve Buscemi's best work there...
