“our teeth and ambitions are bared” is a zeugma

and it’s a zeugma where one of the words is literal and one is metaphorical which is the BEST KIND

Tragedy! You set out to read a negative review of a piece of media you dislike, only to find that the critic is being completely unfair to it and making a bunch of bad, unsupportable arguments.

People talk about the surprise albums from people like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé that drop with zero warning but I have just been existing in this world where every album I've ever heard in my life has been a surprise album because I didn't know that musicians had schedules that we could see

I saw Chasing Amy for the first time last night and since I’m generally uninitiated in the world of Kevin Smith films I guess I have no basis of comparison but I was shocked at the candor with which a lot of the sexual topics and relationships are presented.

I expect this will be one of my most unpopular opinions but I’m willing to say it: I thought it was a good movie.

I don’t know how it was MEANT to be interpreted, but here’s what I got from it (spoilers ahead).

I get that many people find it problematic that Alyssa describes herself as gay when she’s clearly bisexual, but with the context that this film was made in the late 90s and the fact that there are STILL people who think bi identities are just noncommittal experimental stops between gay and straight… I just don’t find it that unrealistic that she’d be imprecise with her own label.

Ben Affleck’s character sucks. Like, I hated him. But I don’t hate that I hated him, because it’s a movie and I’m pro-unlikeable protagonist sometimes. There is a lot of dialogue about turning the lesbian, and I think his character does fetishize that. I also think he’s wrong to believe that’s what happened at all. She chose to spend all that time with him, to accept his stupid cringe car speech, and eventually to leave. He doesn’t actually change her. She’s using him (romantically) like she used to use people sexually in her past, AND I don’t think that should be a condemned character trait on her part. If he had really loved her back, well, then it wouldn’t have been using. But it was one-sided imo. I believe she saw the red flags and still chose him, until he disappointingly came around to a proposition that demonstrated he’d never treat her the same again and she knew she didn’t deserve that.

But also I do think she really thought she was in love, so at the one year later mark her emotionality makes sense because that’s a kind of nostalgia that is so personal, even if that chapter is well and truly over.

Banky is gay. Full stop. So, interpret all of his problematic diatribes with that filter. His “everyone needs a good dicking” speech is him telling on himself. It’s repression and a lot of internalized issues, and he talks about this stuff in ways I’ve heard other people in my real life talk about them in private spaces. It’s a realistic portrayal. Also Jason Lee NAILS the little details. He’s staring at Ben Affleck’s lips. He’s jealous of the attention Alyssa gets. I didn’t doubt for a single frame what was going on under the surface for that character.

I will never defend the two main boys in this movie, but they’re written extremely realistically. I know guys like these two dudes. The whole movie long I had two specific people in mind, in fact. And no, I do not have anything to do with them anymore, but I was someone’s Alyssa (or Amy) once.

One final note: I’ve never seen a movie where a straight character actually suggests a three-way as a solution to his love triangle problems and this was portrayed so surprisingly earnestly as a request. Yeah, it was cringe and incorrect, but so is everything about Holden. I just found it surprising that it happened at all, and I don’t think it was entirely played for laughs or pure shock value.
