#Chester "Chazz Darby" Ogilvie

[lserver362reviews]

This is a Valentines Day movie. "Don't hate me!/Your lips are full, your head is empty/This faded valentine is what you sent me" - The Sons of Thunder Chester "Chazz Darby" Ogilvie and Kayla, forever! Chazz does NOT put up with Rex calling her a bitch in the toy store after their first break up. He's such a softie for women. He's trying very very hard to live his dream, but with integrity. He explains to Ian the Shark at the station, "She's not like what you'd think. She's actually really cool and, well, I guess what it all comes down to is that we really care about each other and I screwed up. She's been there for me from the beginning. I think I let her down, but I still want us to be tight." You can tell they have a good time together from their cutesy message machine greeting. She does end up bringing him the tape and they both apologize to eachother. He later states, "What have I got? My guitar, my bike, and my woman. That's all I got in the world. And you keep kicking me out!-It's making me insane! I figure if I get a record contract, I can make it up to you. I'm doing this for you!" and then they profess their love for each other. It's the emotional heart of this film. This movie has the love of music, love for brotherhood, and it's about telling your partner your name is really Chester & you understand if they don't love you anymore. Plus Where else can you hear John Bender say, "super duper!"? I love Pip's meet-cute of getting hit in the face by a door by Suzzie and their ensuing romance, they just understand eachother. Even the swat leader, Carl Mace's weird martial troubles seem to be a driving force for his character and he talks with Beech about it during this hostage situation! Love is everywhere in this movie! Carter Burwell is a hero (for Twilight) and an icon (for this). This movie has such weird politics (incredibly invested in racism, ACAB, and displays how white people have a hard time engaging in their own obliviousness, but every insult is also super misogynistic) especially for a place where the logo of the station is the confederate flag. The performances in this movie are just great, Adam Sandler is so so funny, Brendan Fraser is so green and earnest, and Steve Buscemi is completely unhinged. I have a soft spot especially for David Arquette in this but really all the side characters are excellent. I am still scared of White Zombie. Happy Valentines Day!
