...As if you give a rat's ass what I think, but I just don't want to get sucked into this whole "Kevin is God" trend. First off, I think you're witty as hell, and do a great job of directing and writing, but dude, did you INTEND to make fun of Chasing Amy in Chasing Amy?? I understand that the flick was about a girl who was still trying to figure out her sexuality, but that scene with Brodie and Holden and the little quiz (Santa, Militant Lesbian, Friendly Lesbian, Easter Bunny) is a comment on the movie itself. Here we have a BEAUTIFUL woman, who's a male-friendly, non-threatening lesbian, and she shuts out all of her friends, and the community she has become a part of for a comic book artist? I think the only realistic thing about the movie was that it didn't have this sappy, uber-happy ending like most flicks nowadays where everyone gets their way. Holden gets screwed, not literally. He loses a friend (or at least we're lead to believe they no longer keep in contact) and a good friend that he loved with all of his heart. Other than that it was pretty lame. Critics say that Mallrats was crap? The acting in CA was great, JLA deserved the award(nomination?), but the plot was just a satire of itself.
The Yukon Song(cont'd)
We're going where it snows all year,
Where life can have real meaning.
A place where we won't have to hear,
"Your room could stand some cleaning."
