: I just finished my Chasing Amy DVD and just realised that Fincher ripped off Kevin Smith to do Fight Club. You see, Holden & Banky are in fact the same person. Holden created Banky as a way to deal with his "gay as all fuck" personality. This is why you don't see Alyssa talk much to Banky throughout the entire film....
The timeline doesn't work, BUT it wouldn't matter if what we are witnessing in "Chasing Amy" is, in fact one man's MEMORY.
That we are watching a deluded reminiscence has always been my personal theory for the physics of "Fight Club."
My theory about David Lynch's "Lost Highway" (very, very similar to "Fight Club") is that you're watching an extended flashback from the moment of Fred's death.
Right, now here's my theory: Dante and Randal are the same person.
I've always wanted to scribe my own Elseworlds for "clerks." in which Randal realizes one day that a customer (in fact, EVERY customer) keeps mistaking him for Dante.
The entire episode would unfold as Randal tries to find Dante for piece-'o-mind...but his compatriot is NOWHERE TO BE FOUND...
The whole thing would dulminate in a recreation of that fateful fistfight which ended "clerks." except this time we'd see Dante freeze, headlocking thin air and gasping at his reflection in...oh, say a paper towel dispenser or a microwave or something.
This comic situation would end with the reflection peering out at us which would be neither Dante nor Randal...but SILENT BOB!!!
Thge last coupla' panels would close in on the reflection of Silent Bob's near-catatonic pupil closer and closer until black...
