Hi all, I am new to this arena, but I have wanted to say something to
Kevin Smith for some time. Whether or not he reads it is another
point, but I hope someone reads it.
When Chasing amy came out, I was dating a guy who I was (and am
still) crazy about. We had had a HUGE fight over a very similar story
to the one Bob tells in the diner. FRIGHTINGLY similar. We had
almost the exact same shouting match as the parking lot scene,
(Except ours was on the side of the road) We did not speak for a
couple of days and when we finally decided to talk, we went to the
movies first (Thanks Buddy Christ)...to see "Chasing Amy".
The movie encompased every emotion that both he and I felt and
through that we had a LONG conversation about what past sexual
experiences really added up to in a current relationship. In essense
that movie helped to save a fantastic relationship that I am still in.
So thanks so much for telling a story. I just wanted to let you know
how impactful your work can be or the average chick!
