Talk:Chasing Amy

message: The movie is notorious for having brought the sexual technique of fisting into the public consciousness. Can we get some sources for this? If not, I'm inclined to delete it. --Furrykef 22:37, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: I changed the following sentence "Once there, however, Holden is shocked to discover that Alyssa is actually a lesbian-identified bisexual woman," to read "Once there, however, Holden is shocked to discover that Alyssa is actually a lesbian."  Here's why.
Though I know that "lesbian-identified bisexual woman" is a more accurate descriptor of Alyssa's sexual orientation, I fear that it is misleading to the reader.  Holden does not "discover" that she is bisexual, he "discovers" that she is a lesbian, and believes that she is only interested in women.  This detail is essential to the storyline of the movie; as it is not until much later in the movie that he learns of her bisexuality, and this discovery causes him much turmoil and is the impetus for many of the events towards the film's conclusion.  Stating otherwise would likely confuse the reader, making him or her wonder why Holden is so shocked to learn of her past, if he knew it all along.  As such, describing her as a lesbian, at least initially, would better serve this article.  "Country" Bushrod Washington 23:30, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If she's bisexual, then it is not possible to "discover" that she's a lesbian - assuming the term "lesbian" means a woman attracted only to other women. Regardless of what the director and screenwriter are trying to do, we have to use language correctly. --Uncle Ed (talk) 22:55, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't have any evidence, but I'd like to remark that there seems to be a lot of expectation on the part of the fans for it. If the appropriate executives can be convinced that the fans will shell out for it, they will put it out. Cromulent Kwyjibo 22:46, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

message: "The part where the characters share their "sex scars" is inspired by a similar scene between Quint and Hooper in Steven Spielberg's Jaws (a scene originally written for Mallrats)."  --  As written, this seems to be saying that the scene in Jaws was originally written for Mallrats, which is presumably wrong. -- 201.19.15.178 23:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've FINALLY edited that sentence to show that the scene in Jaws was not written originally for Mallrats...hope it's to your liking.     --ocrasaroon (talk) 07:34, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: ''Jaws'' scene originally written for ''Mallrats''?

message: In the "Actors who appeared in other Smith Films" section, there seems to be an awful lot of completely irrelevant information about some of these friends and family members other film roles. While it is interesting that Smith used a relative in three of his movies, John Willyung's roles in Clerks. and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back are in no way relevant to this page's subject: Chasing Amy. I would like to go through here and remove all the extraneous information and maybe even reformat what's left into a list. 
I also personally think that this entire section belongs on the View Askewniverse page. Partly because a lot of these are uncredited roles, but also because these claims are not verified. Telling me that Ernie O'Donnell has a cameo in a scene is great - and easily cited. Telling me that he's also Kevin Smith's childhood friend means nothing to me unless you can prove to me that it's true.
Usually, I wait two weeks for a response before making a text-deletion edit. But since I know so many people love the View Askewniverse (and a large percentage of those fans are...how shall I put this...um, "preoccupied" with certain weed-maintenance, I'll wait three to four weeks before removing text or doing any major edits. Thanks!    --ocrasaroon (talk) 07:03, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
