Chasing Amy (1997) dir. Kevin Smith

Jay: So why the long face, Horse? Banky on the rag? 
Holden: I’m just, ahh, I’m just havin’ a little girl trouble. 
Jay: Bitch pressin’ charges? I get that a lot. 

Say what you want about Kevin Smith, he’s made some truly fantastic movies. They aren’t always particularly well directed or well acted, but as a writer, he’s easily one who’s films will always hold a special place near my heart.

Chasing Amy was the one that solidified that for me. First I saw Clerks and Dogma, both of which I loved very dearly. They were hilarious, and even underneath that, Dogma was able to craft a really great message of faith and idealism. But even for how much I admired Smith for just those two films alone, I still didn’t see Chasing Amy coming.

Ben Affleck was incredible. Jason’s Lee and Mewes were hilarious. It took Smith’s script, though, to pull it all together and make possibly the best film he’s ever done. Like many of my favorite films, it’s a love story about a relationship that has so much promise, but never quite takes the path anyone saw coming. Whether it’s for the best or not is unclear, but it’s what happens, and the characters deal with it the best they can. It’s who they are, and it’s who I like to think I am.

Anyway, pretty much the whole reason the film is on this list is for the quote included below. It’s up to you (if you haven’t seen the movie) if you’d rather read it here or wait until actually seeing Ben Affleck deliver it onscreen, but it’s so perfectly written, it’s just everything I ever wanted to say to these two really special girls I knew in high school.

I love you. And not, not in a friendly way, although I think we’re great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I’m sure that’s what you’ll call it. I love you. Very, very simple, very truly. You are the-the epitome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being. And I know that you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is-is-is the furthest thing from an option you would ever consider. But I had to say it. I just, I can’t take this anymore. I can’t stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can’t-I can’t look into your eyes without feeling that-that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can’t talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. And I know this will probably queer our friendship - no pun intended - but I had to say it, ‘cause I’ve never felt this way before, and I-I don’t care. I like who I am because of it. And if bringing this to light means we can’t hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just, I couldn’t allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And, you know, I’ll accept that. But I know, I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there’s a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. And all I ask, please, is that you just - you just not dismiss that, and try to dwell in it for just ten seconds. Alyssa, there isn’t another soul on this fucking planet who has ever made me half the person I am when I’m with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it is there between you and me. You can’t deny that. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I am forever changed because of who you are and what you’ve meant to me, which - while I do appreciate it - I’d never need a painting of birds bought at a diner to remind me of. 

Of course, I didn’t say any of that, and my path and the paths of those two girls (girls I considered special at the time, though I’m now of the belief that if they were special, they’re special in a much different way than I originally thought) are not connected in the way I wanted them to be. And maybe it’s not what I saw coming, or what I wanted to happen, but it’s what happened, and I believe it definitely worked out for the best.

¿Sabíais que Jason Lee, antes de actor fue skater? Tiene hasta su propia compañía, por eso aparece haciendo de profesor en Skate 3. Y por eso mismo ese juego es tan jodidamente grande.

No solo Jason Lee es skater en el mundo de los actores podemos muchos otros que no te los imaginas a primeras haciendose un 360flip o unos benihanas a lo old school. Por ejemplo: Owen Wilson
