Chasing Amy and Visoneers

Firstly, I tried to post this last night, but something was clearly amiss.

Anyway.
Chasing Amy.


Not my favorite Kevin Smith movie. Not my second favorite Kevin Smith movie. I liked Zak and Miri make a porno more than Chasing Amy. Don't get me wrong, i liked Zak and Miri, very much actually. Chasing Amy just falls right under the bar that Zak and Miri set for me, personally (which this blog is).

Favorite moment was the diner scene with Jay and Silent Bob, specifically when Silent Bob talks and explains the title of the movie (his movie). I met Kevin Smith once, while he was filming "Cop Out" which at the time was going to be titled "A Couple of Dicks." He was filming directly on my block. It was a nice summer day and really crowded on the streets because Bruce Willis and Tracey Morgan were in the area. Anyway, Kevin was a real nice guy, and turns out we were born in the same hospital. Then he signed my Video store rental copy of Mallrats (my second favorite KS movie).

Clerks is the best KS movie.

?Spoiler Alert?
The scene towards the end of Chasing Amy were Ben Afflek's try to talk his ex girlfriend and best friend to have a threesome with him. I think that scene would be a good exercise for actors and actress to try out in workshops. But no, that scene is the only scene where I actually laughed out loud (noted: I watched it alone. do people usually laugh at movies when there alone?)

Then today (yesterday, the 6th) I watched Visoneers.



I did not care for this movie. I felt forced, as if i was one of the robots in Mystery Science Theater 3000. It's basically Zach Galifianakis being serious, which he might do well, but who really wants to see that? It's on Hulu if you want to watch it though, and do watch it if your a fan of Zach, or George Washington, or people exploding, or really depressing projections of the future.

Now i'm going to bed, tomorrow's a new movie.
