I just remembered that this movie was coming out, and it looks like it’ll be soon. There are some trailers now, and you can see them [here](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364955/trailers).

I’m hoping it’ll be good. I really liked Ghost World, and I also like a lot of Daniel Clowes’s comics. What I really appreciate about him is that his stories are dark and weird, but they never descend into total nihilism.

It looks like there’s going to be a plot about a killer on the loose, but it also looks like it’s there more to have the characters react to it than to have a story about a killer. It’s kind of like how they thought it was the end of the world in David Boring or the serial killer thing in Ice Haven.

I’m so there I don’t even need to see the trailer. I’ve been a Terry Zwigoff fan since his first movie, the documentary about the great Howard Armstrong, **Louie Bluie**. I loved **Crumb**. I loved **Ghost World**. I loved **Bad Santa** , and by now I’m pretty much Zwigoff’s bitch. I’ll always be there first day for a Zwigoff film and I don’t even have to know the title or what it’s about. Just tell me the day and what theater to go to.
