Kevin Smith 'Chasing Amy'

I'm a little late on the View Askewniverse and the Kevin Smith franchise.

I like the Smith has created a continuous home for his recycled characters. There's something completely comfortable about continuity and furthering along a fabricated character's story. There's also something cheesy about it too, but I definitely don't get the cheese vibe from Chasing Amy.

I couldn't help but think about how much the record store Ben Affleck's character was browsing in looks like BMV Bloor's record store downstairs. Same set up I guess.


For a New York film, there weren't many shots of the city. Thank goodness for Hollywood!
