Chasing Amy/YMMV

• Crosses the Line Twice -- Hooper's deconstruction of the Star Wars saga as being covertly racist, countered by Banky, culminates with:

Hooper: And Jedi's the most insulting installment. Because Vader's beautiful black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty, old white man! They tryin' to tell us that deep inside we all wants to be white!
Banky: Well, isn't that true?
[an enraged Hooper pulls out a gun, and shoots Banky repeatedly in a crowded auditorium]
Hooper: Black rage! BLACK RAGE!!!!

• Fridge Logic: Didn't Holden, before he found out Alyssa was gay, wonder what she'd been doing on a panel for minority comic creators?
  • Perhaps he thought it was because she was a woman.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In a notable discussion of the film, Hooper theorizes that Archie and Jughead are gay lovers. In 2011, Archie Comics will depict a same-sex wedding with Kevin Keller, the series' first and (to date, only) major character who is openly gay.
• Misaimed Fandom: The character who believed that a lesbian could be "converted" by the right man. Said character is also shown to be an idiot.
• Misaimed Marketing: Arguable. "Guy meets bisexual-identifying-as-lesbian girl, guy loses girl because of his hangups" doesn't sell as well as "Ben Affleck meets lesbian, Ben Affleck falls for lesbian, lesbian... falls for Ben Affleck."
• Narm: A love confession shouldn't give one Ending Fatigue.
• Squick: Alyssa at one point mentions being in a three-way with Gwen Turner from Mallrats... who is also played by Joey Lauren Adams. Of course, YMMV.
