: I could do that...write the paper on Chasing Amy alone, but she wants two movies compared and she wants to see one. *I'm getting another person into the cult here...heehee...* Anyways, I saw Mallrats but I'm not really interested in seeing J&SBSB anyways. I don't know, I guess it's not as funny the fifth time around.
Just kidding. That comparison of Chasing Amy and Dogma does work. But as for filmmaking style you might be lacking. KS had a bigger budget for Dogma then Chasing Amy so the comparisons are generally a money issue(in chasing amy the handheld parking lot scene may have been done for financial reasons, as are the other handheld shots like the one with Holden, Alyssa and Banky discussing the 3 way). The story content comparison will be great. Morality vs. religion vs sexuality. Cool topic. I'd like to read it when your done. Maybe they will post on NewsAskew. I'm just thinking ahead.
: : You could do you whole paper on Chasing Amy alone. There is so much to cover. All of the characters have more depth then Kevin has written in any of his other films.
: : But really, you should do your paper on Mallrats and J&SBSB. You would have more fun writing your paper about dick and fart jokes. Teaches love reading papers with humor, just remember not to use any bad language, like the F word. Good Luck.

: : : And my paper, this is my final decision, don't nobody change it or propose any other ideas PLEASE, is going to be on Chasing Amy and Dogma. I've noticed a lot of similarities and differences between the two and those are the two I've chosen.
