Why is chasing amy criterion

While recording the commentary he, and his cohorts, are obviously watching the film from the new transfer Criterion did for the laserdisc released a couple of years before this DVD and he commends Criterion on getting the framing right. I assume Disney did a new transfer and intended to release the DVD on their own and somewhere down the line it was decided to just port the supplements from the Criterion laserdisc, maybe Smith pushing for it.

The Dolby Digital 5. The film is very talkie so most of the work goes to the center speaker. Dialogue is very clear and articulate. Panning occurs occasionally at the front but not too often. The surrounds are used for a few background effects but are most noticeable during scenes like in the comic book convention and the scene where Holden confesses his love in a car on a rainy night.

The sub-woofer handles some bass but has little to do overall. But considering what the film is, this is perfectly acceptable. When compared to the DVDs for his other films, though, Chasing Amy , despite being a Criterion release, is probably the weakest in this area.

One of the more interesting aspects of the release, though, are the menus. It paid off. Just like some really big, really popular comic book, Kevin Smith has made four feature films that share the same thing—the root and imagination of one man who took a risk. What started off with Clerks then proceeded to Mallrats and then graduated into Chasing Amy the feature in question and naturally led to Dogma. Are these films without their controversy?

So did he hit a home run with Chasing Amy? Chasing Amy is the story of two guys who happen to be moderately successful comic book artists.

And in figuring this out, one endeavors to be above such unenlightened outlooks. Until Joey. I like my gatherings small and intimate; Joey likes hers huge, loud, and loaded with spirits of all varieties. But these were small-time compared to the differences in our sexual history. And the day I saw disbelief, outrage, and hurt reflected in the eyes of the woman I loved as she realized I was insisting that she apologize for her life up until the moment we met.

And rather than enter therapy, I decided to exorcise my demons on screen. Watching this film, the viewer can find me in every nook and cranny. Smith is to blame for any indulgence of her, as he was going out with her when the film was made, thus giving a whole new meaning to the old gag about the actress being so stupid that she slept with the writer.

Come to think of it, that sounds like an embryonic Kevin Smith film…. The picture is difficult to categorise. A slight disappointment then, but the best that this film could conceivably look. Incidentally, some early copies of the DVD had a shot wrongly framed; it is believed that they have been suppressed. Criterion have remixed the soundtrack to 5. The best extra is probably the commentary, which, unusually for Criterion, has all the participants talking at the same time, rather than separately and edited together.
