Boogie Nights is a great movie, but itās not even Paul Thomas Andersonās best movie (that is There Will Be Blood, followed by Punch Drunk Love).

I think Boogie Nights is the only PTA movie I really liked, and itās my second favorite movie of all (behind Alien). I hated Magnolia and it kind of scared me off of him. Actually now that I think about it I think Magnolia may be the only other PTA movie Iāve seen.
Should I watch TWBB tonight instead of Departed?

I think one of the main problems with most superhero and a lot of action movies is the third act face off with the villain. For comic book movies of late, this is often a crutch with a ton of CGI/green screen. A movie like Shang Chi is quite good until this part.
I totally get getting taken out by āwill the heroes hand lasers beat the villains hand lasersā while it all looks like crap.

Thatās tough.
I think you really gotta be in the mood for TWBB. Not really comparable to the experience of any other PTA movie. Itās a great double feature with No Country For Old Men.

This is a common sentiment for anyone actually interested in a movie.
A good way to unwind is get high and/or drunk prior.

OK party people, what are your summer jam recommendations for 2023? I mean the theme here is hot summertime movies, I will start it off with 12 Angry Men: steamy erotic suspense thriller with Hollywoodās hottest stars like Henry Fonda and Jack Klugman and introducing Americaās lovable sex scamp, John Fiedler (of Kingdom Hearts fame). It is basically like Real World: passions flare as 12 hotties are forced to live together and scream and yell at each other. Also, an anti-racist masterpiece that feels decades ahead of its time. It has the aesthetics of a movie-length Twilight Zone episode, which is basically the best thing Iāve ever said about a movie.

Too late, I just started TWBB. Am I going to be confused the whole time like NCFOM?

Light a cigar. Donāt smoke it.

Way ahead of you.
I listened to the Rewatchables for NCFOM to see if they understood it better than I did. At least a half-dozen times they were like, āAnd then this thing happened that you didnāt expect, and it didnāt really make sense. But thatās what real life is like!ā
Seems like you can add āBut thatās lifeā to anything weird that happens in a movie that you donāt expect or understand.
