BOOGIE NIGHTS

If you got it, flaunt it.

Hi, my name is Slim and I just saw a movie that if it was 20 years ago would make me want to go down to LA and hang
out in discos so I could be discovered and become a movie star. But not just any sort of movie star. I'm talking about a
movie star of big proportions. A porn movie star. That's right, sex and drugs and rocknroll. And I mean lots of sex and
drugs. Hell, we are talking so much sex that a guy would have to have a super diggerwood to do it all. And that is what
this movie is about- a guy with a super diggerwood. So super that he becomes a super porn star and wins awards and
gets good press and good head and good times. But then the good times get to him and he becomes a loser.

I'm talking about "Boogie Nights" which is suppose to be a pretty good showing of the prono movie industry around the
late 1970s. A time of lots and lots of sex, drugs, and rocknroll. And polyester. So maybe it wasn't all great. I mean do we
really want to go back to wearing pants in weird colors and even weirder fabrics? Anyway, this movie is about this young
naive guy who has this super diggerwood and gets discovered by a porno movie maker [and let me say that it is good to
see Burt Reynolds actually doing some acting for once, even if his rug needs some work.] and well, this young guy goes
on to become the guy with the mostest, if you get my drift.

We got a bunch of people wearing polyester and hanging out in discos, we got scenes of porno stars wondering about
their lives, we got some porno actress who always wears a rollerskates, no matter what she's doing, we got prono movie
stars showing what it means to be turned on and turned out, and finally we got a super diggerwood.

Three stars. Go check it out, but if any of you guys and gals have ever felt you've been shortchanged, I wouldn't watch the
ending.
