Everyone has one special thing

This week I watched Boogie Nights, I have seen it before but this time watching it I have found a new apreciation for it. This is the Paul Thomas Anderson "classic" movie about one persons rise and fall in the porn biz throughout the 70s and 80s. Mark Wahlberg is the new star that rises to the top quick and the falls hard after getting hooked on drugs. Julianne Moore has a downward spiral into drug addiction. Burt Reynolds is the director just trying everything to stay on top. Also there is a bevy of other big name actors that play smaller bit parts in the film, such as Luis Guzmán, John C. Reilly, Don Cheadle, William H. Macy and Thomas Jane to just name a few. Alright i'm gonna kick this off with a handful of trailers first.











I'm not really sure what exactly to say about this film, there is not a lot to it besides a great story. Going along with Dirk Diggler's story are a bunch of side stories and characters that are interesting by themselves. Such as William H. Macy's wife constantly fucking random guys and he keeps finding them until the new years eve of 1980 when he cant take it any more. I thought it was kinda interesting (maybe it was just that time period) when everyone first meets Mark Wahlberg they instantly fall head over heels for him. I wonder how much research (porn watching) Paul Thomas Anderson did to get some of the dialog for when they showed them fliming the porn movies. I wish that the Brock Landers films were actually real, they seem like they would be so hillarious to watch. Also when Dirk is trying to record his album, It is funny to see someone that was once a singer (kinda) do such a bad job when they were recording the music. Basically this movie is about everyones downward spiral and them trying to stay on top of there world. The only thing I didn't really care for was how low everyone fell and then the end of the movie is really happy and almost everyone getting what they want. Here are some worth while sceens...

Everyone does karate in their mirror...right?


One of the gayest conversions between two straight guys.


Let me just check on something.

That is a giant cock.

Just a look at one of the artsy shots in the movie.


I wish this was a real movie.


Enter Todd Parker, the best porn star mustache ever!


The start of the downward spiral.


I like simple pleasures, like butter in my ass, lollipops in my mouth. That's just me. That's just something that I enjoy.


The best New Years party.


Lie still, lie still or I'll punch you in the goddamned face!


You got the touch ... you got the power.


Ten is all that I have.


Blood Money


Nothing to sat just a entertaining gunfight.


Still wondering how Dirk's Corvette go so fucked up.


Dirk goes back to Jack and asks for forgiveness.


Happy ending, everyone gets better.


I am a star. I'm a star, I'm a star, I'm a star. I am a big, bright, shining star. That's right.
