Monday started off as a real good day, but for some reason by the middle of the day I started feeling depressed. We got pizza and rented a movie and typically movies can make you forget about things for a little while.
The movie we got was Chasing Amy, which is part of the same series as Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and most recently Clerks 2. The only two movies I've seen fully out of these up to this point was Mallrats when I was 16, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. The rest I've only caught clips of and Chasing Amy I knew what it was mostly about, and after watching it I realised I caught the ending on TV awhile back too.
For those of you who know nothing about any of these movies they all take place in and around New Jersey and all the main characters originated from the same area in New Jersey, but each movie focuses on different people and a different story. You sometimes hear about people from the other movies from the characters in the movie you are watching, so somehow they are linked. The movies are Comedy, Clerks and Chasing Amy is more of a realistic Comedy, whereas Mallrats has some goofy stuff in it.
Chasing Amy starts off at a Comic Book convention signing thing, where the two people who draw Bluntman and Cronic comics, which are Jay and Silent Bobs ultra egos, meet up with this chick. He immediantly falls in love with her and they become friends, but what he doesn't know is she is a lesbian. I don't want to kill the rest of the plot if anyone decides they want to see it.
It was a good movie, but unlike the other movies I saw the ending was left open. Possibly the results end up in Dogma or Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back or Clerks 2, or possibly they'll make a Chasing Amy 2? They should make a movie where the lives of the people in all the movies run into another, although I could see that getting old quite fast.
I'll probably start renting the rest of these movies and rewatch what I have.
