(imdb rating: 7.5/10)
This is one of the best movies of the 1997

Plot: Holden and Banky are comic book artists. Everything's going good for them until they meet Alyssa, also a comic book artist. Holden falls for her, but his hopes are crushed when he finds out she's a lesbian.

Story about love and regret and relationship. The best Kevin Smith movie to date, with a first look at that fool Ben Affleck. Maybe Smith's most personal work (he dated Joey Lauren Adams, and we all know he loves comics)

It's got comics, messed up relationships and great dialogues! Wooh, that Jason Lee is something too. One of the best moment is maybe that one confrontation about "blacks in the real of sci-fi".. still cracks me up (Smith is a big Star Wars fan of course, he had Bob do some Jedi Mind Tricks back in Mallrats). The commentary and bonus materials are not bad at all. The scene when Ben reveals his feelings is gut wrenching.. pure drama

And the culminating talk at the end is just out there..

Read the good review from Criterion Contraption
