 Okay, now you're talking above my head. I don't know all of this industry jargon, YP, MP. All I know is that I can't get a record contract, we cannot get a record contract unless we take those tapes to the record company. And granted, the tapes themselves are a uh um oh, you own them, all right, but the magic that is on those tapes. That fucking heart and soul that we put onto those tapes, that is ours and you don't own that. Now I need to take that magic and get it over the record company. And they're waiting for us, we were supposed to be there a half hour ago. We look like assholes, man.

Cheadle was fantastic. 

The woman he ends up with in the film was George Costanza's date in the shrinkage episode of Seinfeld 

So she upgraded then,  is that what you're saying?

Fantastic movie.

That's a great catch, had no idea Melora Walters had done a Seinfeld episode.  

This was a great film.  Holds up pretty well, too.

Cool. Cool. You ever go to Vince's to workout here -- no you couldn't, I would've seen you.

And not the only Seinfeld connection. Philip Baker Hall, who was Floyd Gondoli in the clip I posted, played Bookman, the library cop.

Well yeah, Bookman is legendary.  Even non-Seinfeld fans know about that connection.  

There is one more actor in Boogie Nights who appeared on Seinfeld.  Pos rep to anyone who can get it correct.

there are moments of genius in this movie. The three that come to mind.

  • Philip Seymour Hoffman's "i'm a fucking idiot" scene.
  • Where Buck is trying to secure a bank loan. Don Cheadle was amazing in that scene. Heartbreaking.
  • The scene where PT Anderson holds the camera on Mark Wahlberg for what seems like an eternity (50 seconds) as Jessie's Girl blares in the background.

this scene is incredible. i contend to this day that Wahlberg should have gotten an oscar nod for DD.

I always liked the Dirk Diggler documentary, and Dirks  poignant contemplative  scenes looking out over the drainage ditch, and behind the strip mall.

Ya know they tried to pull down Napoleon in Roman times.

What can you expect when you're on top? You know? It's like Napoleon. When he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire. So, it's history repeating itself all over again.

 

 

 

I used to think Wahlberg was brilliant in this,  turns out he was just playing himself

The first pool party scene is pretty incredible.

-Dirk meeting Reed and competing over lifting weights and diving board moves
-Buck and Becky arguing about the cowboy look
-Maurice trying to get in a porno
-Little Bill getting shit from Kurt while his wife is getting "an ass in her cock"
-The OD girl
