: I recently lent my copy of 'Chasing Amy' to a freind of mine, 'coz he'd never seen a Kevin Smith film before. On sober reflection it probably wasn't the best one to start him off with (probably 'Clerks'). Now although he said that he enjoyed it he also said, and I quote; 'I dunno, it seemed like it was trying to be too fair to everyone, a bit too afraid of upsetting anyone'. Having re-viewed the film a few times since, I can see his point. Now don't get me wrong, some of the stuff is handled expertly, e.g. the 'I fancy you, Alyssa' speach and the 'why do you fancy me?' explination in particular, but Hooper X for example seems like a bit of a token character. I mean, he appears once or twice to say 'I'm black, gay and not what I apper to be to the outside world. Hear my advice, I'm the voice of reason. See ya later', and that's it.
: Enewei, am I right, wrong, neither or both?
: P.S. I heard a roumour that Jason Lee is Stan Lee's nephew is this true?
