"In a way, he's such a clueless dork, he's almost kind of cool."

Why do we own certain films on DVD?
One of the reasons is because we can return to them when the mood strikes.
I was in the mood for Terry Zwigoff's "Ghost World" last night.
Another reason to own films on DVD? Repeated viewings of great films reveals layers of meaning, just like repeated readings of literature.
Last night, I concentrated on watching the relationship develop between Enid (Thora Birch) and Seymour (the fantastic Steve Buscemi).
Seymour's lines reveal a man unhappy with his place in the world:
"You think it's healthy to obsessively collect things? You can't relate to other people, so you fill your life with stuff."
Yet, even as he speaks these words, he is relating to Enid and her loneliness and the crumbling relationship she has with Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson).
It was enlightening, focusing on the development of two characters' relationship.
Next time I watch "Ghost World," perhaps I'll focus on the relationship between shirtless Doug and the owner of the Sidewinder...
Doug: "It's called America, dude. Learn the rules."
Sidewinder owner: "'Learn the rules?' No, YOU learn the rules. We Greeks invented democracy."
Doug: "You also invented homos."
Sidewinder owner: "F*** you!"
Doug: "You wish. You gotta buy me dinner first."
