Chasing Amy
I like Kevin Smith. I enjoy his comic books, his movies, his lectures and his websites.
I just read a book he wrote called Silent Bob Speaks, which was really entertaining. I
was a little annoyed with his constant 'my wife is so great and hot blah, blah, blah
(we get the point, fatass)' rants but I got over it. Hopefully, he will at some point too.
Chasing Amy is the kind of movie that I want to love for so many different reasons.
By 'so many different reasons,' I mean 'Jason Lee,' of course.
See, Jason Lee is to funny what he was to skateboarding, a natural. There is no line
that he can't deliver in that sarcastic, mocking, vile, and supremely hilarious manner
that is all his. In short: 'Banky,' Lee's character, makes this flick the classic that it is.
It's mind-boggling that one character can have so many good lines.
Then there's Affleck. Kevin Smith's and the rest of the worlds' love with Affleck is a
thing that totally mystifies me. He is so damn mediocre. I don't hate the guy but I just
don't see him as a leading man. And he, combined with that cute blond chick (who
can kinda act... kinda) just make SNORE CITY for me. That scene with the two of
them in the rain getting all smarmy in love for each other is so wrong, on so many
levels.
First of all, I hate blatant symbolism; next, I don't really care about romance; third,
Affleck's hair. He's gotta do something about that hair, man.
I want to see a movie about Jason Lee making fun of shit for an hour and a half. Jay
and Silent Bob are optional. If cute blond chick wants to flash the camera, that's fine.
Snoogins.
