.. all this talk is just stupid. Find a new hobby.
: : 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...
