He'd carry around a Dixie cup all day or something.<BR/><BR/>mehrdad - I like <EM>Chasing Amy</EM>, as well (mostly due to Jason Lee's performance), but I'm not surprised that it's better regarded. <EM>Mallrats</EM> is pretty much about dudes BSing at a mall all day. <EM>Chasing Amy</EM> is more "mature" and has the strong gay theme to it. Obviously, the art house tastemakers would favor the latter.<BR/><BR/>Have you seen the <EM>Mallrats</EM> DVD? There's a whole subplot about an assasination attempt on the governor mix-up that the studio cut out. They don't even get to the mall until 20 minutes into the film. Had they kept that story, the movie would've been a totally different beast (not sure if it'd be for the better, though).Micahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07866664453584849339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432483.post-91873433476956083422008-11-04T00:55:00.000-05:002008-11-04T00:55:00.000-05:00Micah, I too think that Mallrats is one of Kevin S...Micah, I too think that Mallrats is one of Kevin Smith's best works to date. I never understood the cult of worship that surrounds Chasing Amy. I thought it was unrealistic and stupid. It always bothered me how much people praised Chasing Amy, and bashed Mallrats in the same breath.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432483.post-46544209593528706492008-11-03T22:10:00.000-05:002008-11-03T22:10:00.000-05:00Fill this with Coke, no ice.Fill this with Coke, no ice.spydrzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225206035608440158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432483.post-49692764416248613562008-11-03T15:02:00.000-05:002008-11-03T15:02:00.000-05:00You're not alone, brother.
