Remember The Member!!! Alamo's Rolling Roadshow's 10th Anniversary Screening of BOOGIE NIGHTS in California!!!
Hey folks, Harry here - Running around crazy - doing all the final bits of craziness in advance of my Wedding this Sunday. Yesterday was picking up the Wedding License and the Rings... did the seating chart, cutting the ribbons for the favors... the birdseed, the teal.... it's pretty non-stop... and... Tonight's the Bachelor Party. We've got the Princess Leia Slave Girl Lesbian Show and Ping Pong Ball Shooting Gallery set up - and it's pretty much... normal wedding activities.
HOWEVER - we're also prepping for the Alamo Drafthouse's ROLLING ROADSHOW National Tour. Now... Originally we were going to be hitting Los Angeles for a screening of FRIDAY in South Central. However, some officials in the Government decided last week, that the residence of South Central couldn't be trusted to watch FRIDAY in peace, so they pulled the permit for the Alamo to screen there. Can you fucking believe that shit? Tim had talked to all "parties" in the neighborhood and it was going to be an amazing event.
Alas - scared politicians are... well... you know.
Anyway - Tim was adamant about having a Los Angeles event - so he decided to change the screening to BOOGIE NIGHTS. And it just happens to be the 10th Anniversary of BOOGIE NIGHTS!
We're talking to folks at all levels of the production - and it looks like though, short notice, this is going to be one of the GREAT events of this year's Rolling Roadshow Tour!
Now - if you had anything to do with BOOGIE NIGHTS, the Porn Industry - contact Tim League at This Address - Tim and I both feel that celebrating the 10th Anniversary of BOOGIE NIGHTS is one of the best things we can do this year! So I hope you join us in the festivities on Saturday, July 21st!
Here's the details so far:

I DON'T believe boogie nights is ten years old. that's a load of crap and you can't prove otherwise.
now i feel better. oh, and get the hell off my lawn you crazy kids. -
hehehehe
-
I thought Jack said y... Oh nevermind.
-
AND deathly hollows. AND I'm in a wedding. fuck fuck! I want to see it so bad.
-
Carpet dope.
-
Doc Ock on coke...what's not to love?
-
They just throw chunks of carpet in with the dope in a bathtub and mix it all up.
-
...and this is the one week I'm out of town! ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!
-
HAHAHAHAHH!
-
Is absolutely incredible...he says how a UCLA college crowd at the first preview screenings thought the movie was just a period comedy and were laughing uproariously up to that point, cheered at Macy getting the gun out of the car...shooting his wife and big stud, and just went SILENT when he blew his own brains out. At that point he knew he had the movie he wanted to make with the simple theme of "It's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt." A must hear commentary.
-
That said, I watch and enjoy the fuck out of it, every single time it's on. Great soundtrack too!
-
Its been ten years and nobody's found Ringo yet!
-
No more ping-pong ball jokes...
-
i just shudder at the thought.
-
My favorite lines ever. I still yell them at people for no reason at all. No one ever disagrees.
-
I whip it out and start cranking it at the Graham and Moore nude scenes. Hey why not make myself at home, right?
-
"LOCK N' LOAD, JACK!"
-
"Todd, what the fuck did you go crazy?"
-
Floyd Gondoli for life. "These are the real people in the world."
-
"What the fuck are you doing?"
"What the fuck does it look like we're doing?" -
"Do you want him to fuck you in the ass?" "It'd be nice."
-
boogie nights rules. 'nuff said. one of the best movies of the 90's. rollergirl's face stomp, the diggler appendage, buck's donut stop, the colonel, jack horner, amber waves, scotty, all iconic characters, god PTA is the man, can't wait for there will be blood!
-
We want what's in the goddamn safe, in the goddamn master bedroom, in the fucking floor, in the godddamn fucking floorsafe, that's all."
-
Gold Floyd, gold.
-
"State of what? State of California?" BEST MOVIE EVER.
-
Cinespia is screening SUSPIRIA at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery...
-
*grk* "Rock n' roll!"
"Right?"
John C. rules. -
You're not an actor, man, I'M a fucking actor!
-
...fucking idiot. I'm a fucking idiot. I'm a FUCKING IDIOT, I'm a fucking idiot.
-
Ahh,those were better times.
-
You better have that playing over the PA prior to the movie.
-
He'll be the preacher.
As for Boogie Nights... God bless Heather Graham. Whoa, now that's a Supergirl. -

Loved "Boogie Nights", one of my all-time favourites.
by flim springfield
-
"May I see it?" (funny facial expression) "Why thank you, Eddie."
-
Boogie Night is a classic. Can't wait for There Will Be Blood.
-
Well fuck me, he never mentioned it before now.Seriously though Harry, well done son. Or, unlucky son. Delete as appropriate.
-
One of my goddamn top 10 favorite goddamn movies ever and the Roadshow picks the one goddamn week out of the goddamn year that I'm not going to be in goddamn L.A. because I'll be 1000 goddamn miles away in goddamn motherfucking ALBUQUERQUE for goddamn reasons that escape me now that I'm vexed by the thought of missing a revival showing of goddamn Boogie Nights. GOD. DAMN. Ah well, Rock N Roll!
-
California?" Single take tracking shot of William H. Macy. Fucking magical.
-
The sad part is I picked up the Special edition DVD in the $5 dollar bin at Walmart. Well not that sad lol.
-
Glad someone else commented on the commentary, specifically that part. It's great to hear how worried he was that that scene would be lost on the audience, but that everything worked out. There's also a deleted scene on the DVD that is a huge extended scene between Wahlberg and Guzman in one of the porns, and they act so uncomfortable, and inept, and mess up so well, that I still don't know if it was intentional, or they are actually making mistakes.
-
I remember when it came out. I saw it in Montclair, NJ and I was blown away. Now I have it on DVD and I STILL love it! And I still think BURT REYNOLDS should've won the Oscar!
-
what you people don't get:
This movie has JOHN DOE in it... JOHN FUCKING DOE!
Best Actor Ever! -
I'll be in LA the weekend after the 21st, so no dice for me. :(
-
How many months after Yoko gets her greencard will she leave Harry?
-
We gonna fuck? Ohhhh yeah.
-
...But videotape is the FUTURE, Jack.
-
I feel hurt.
-
That is the harshest thing I've read regarding Harry's wedding, and that's saying A LOT, man. Still: LOL. Good one.
-
What do we have to do to get invited?
-
I love you, you love me. Going down the sugar tree. We'll go down the sugar tree, and see lots of bees. Playing, playing. But the bees won't sting, because you love me. That's it.
-
My all-time favourite movie (my username should make that obvious) playing at an Alamo event. This would be so cool if it wasn't 10,000 miles away. Any chance of some UK events Harry??
-
...It's excellent. This is probably the best restaurant in L.A.
-
Fuck it.
-
Harry, Congrats on the wedding and all, but stop being selfish with your time and give us a new DVD column.
-
How I wish I lived in LA. I watch it two or three times a year and I STILL pick up on little things I didn't catch the first 100 times I saw it. People think I'm nuts, but I consider this to be the best movie ever made.
-
"I'm going to wash my vagina."
-
To show FRIDAY in the middle of South Central? You Texans are out of your god damned minds! That's so crazy...I thought it was a late April Fool's gag.
-
I hope you teo have many happy years together.
-
Makes you want to freaky deaky, right?
-
This or "American Beauty" - soooo hard to decidde.
-
Know any hot latina girls who put out? He's all over that. He'll throw over public safety concerns faster than he did his wife for some accion!!
-
the tenth aniversary of Jar Jar Binks?
-
The most overrated films in Hollywood history, in no particular order: Crash; A Beautiful Mind; Shakespeare in Love. Boogie Nights, which won only a few major awards and did not make assloads of money, is nowhere near as over-hyped and over-praised as these three classic snoozefests. Plus it is goddamn great. Rock and Roll.
-
but not on Shakespeare in Love. I dunno. I just... err... LOVE... that movie. And Boogie Nights too.
-
of the extended tracking shot, but the beginning of Boogie Nights impresses me everytime.
-
Seriously, Harry, get yourself a friggin' editor. Hell, *I'll* do it.
Also, did anyone else notice that neither Harry nor Moriarty ever posted a Live Free or Die Hard review? Curious, isn't it? -
No more than any other Best Pic winner in recent memory. And DAMN, is there no cool news lately or what?
-
Someone had to say it. The dialogue in that flick is gold. "This is the second time in two days a chick's o.d.'d on me!" "Ya thinks this means maybe you should think about getting some new shit? Whadda you think?" The Colonel and Floyd were hysterical.
-
Dudes... This woman shot 15 ping pong balls out of her hoo-hah... and Quint, Me, Capone... all of whom has paddles - and we were trying to knock the balls into the Scotch Whiskey glasses. Capone and I failed, but fucking Quint nailed the cup three times. So he got to have the girl spank him with the paddle. It was HILARIOUS!
-
Crash, yes. Braveheart, Million Dollar Baby, A Beautiful mind, HELL YES. Boogie Nights? I think not. Bring on the Dirk.
-
Prettyplease?
-
Uploads required sir.
-
John C. Reilly needs to do a third film so that have can have a complete trilogy of "morons who want to be magicians" films.
-
Man, I never realized until just now how lacking my existence is.
-
No wonder you liked Beerfest so much, it's based on your life.
-
We all wanna see the wedding photos Harry!!
-
For calling out this piece of shit movie with no believable reality or purpose or logic or character development or plot or reason for being. This film that isn't just style and no substance, as said earlier, but another director's (stolen) style and no substance! Biggest fucking Emperor's New Clothes of all fucking time. From the moment Dirk says he's a bright shining star and his mother goes hysterical cuz she's sexually jealous it's just total crap from start to finish. I didn't buy a single moment of it. But hey...sorry for disrupting the group blowjob everybody. Man, you guys like yourself some giant dick.
-
Seriously, this has been my favorite movie ever since I saw it in limited release back in '97. Everything about this flick is great. Directing, screenplay, acting, characters, quotes, music. I could watch "Boogie Nights" everyday for a year and never get tired of it. My favorite quote? "I'm not a complicated man. I like cinema. In particular, I like to see
people fucking on film...but I don't want to win an Oscar...and I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I like simple pleasures...like butter in my ass, lollipops in my mouth. That's just me. That's just
something that I enjoy. Call me crazy, call me a pervert..." Damn, I wish I could be in LA for this. -
You, Chest Rockwell, know what the fuck you're talking about. EVERYTHING about that flick is perfection. When I say it's the great motion picture ever made, people look at me like I'm crazy. But it's nice to know there are a few others out there who see it for everything that it is, the way I do. Rock on, Chest.

Right on, Rebeck & whatever happened to Heather Graham?
by thegreatwhatzit
Rebeck3, your abridged review is right on the money. Very overrated by fans (and not a single critic has included it on his/her Top 10--or even Top 100--list). Crapola, it's been over 10 years since Heather Graham was cast in this thing? I was confident that she'd tally some serious celebrity; I thought she'd be in a position of empowerment by now. But she sqandered her press on religious rantings (boo-hoo, they wanted to sexually repress me) and even cranked-out a failed sitcom. But I remember her as Roller Girl and that AUSTIN POWERS II scene when she slipped-on a white, abbreviated bikini. Yowza. Heather, why did your career do a vanishing act? Ya coulda been somebody (hope it's not too late).
-
This movie is a cult classic. This is a fan favorite. I for one think It's great that the critics wouldn't touch this one... with a 39 and a half foot pooooole. Oh and p.s. you don't half to be such dicks when you talk. You're obviously better than the lot of us. Thank you for coming into a forum of fans and explaining the proper ways to enjoy film. Your opinion is valid as shit. In fact let me give you my password to netflix so you two can fix my queue. Fuckin assholes...
-
I probably could have been a little more tactful. (Me?) But I'm just so tired of hearing this movie praised when I cannot for the life of me see what anybody is talking about. Like I said, I don't believe it for a single frame - not the world of 70's porn or the people that inhabit it or even recognizable human behavior. I think Anderson has contempt for his characters and his audience. It's all a bunch of glitzy film techniques and cardboard. But if you like it, that's just as valid. By the way, I checked out your Netflix queue and deleted, moved things around appropriately. We'll smarten you up eventually. I mean, really Mort, "The Waterboy"???
-
She's one of the great hotties. I remember first noticing her actually in "Drugstore Cowboy" where she dies too quickly and, even worse, stays completely clothed. I've always thought her performances were good - I have no idea why she didn't go further. But just unbelievably attractive and sexy. I'd watch any bad movie just to see her - and I have! Which I guess answers the whole where-did-the-career-go question.
-
I'm only gonna ask this one more time...
Oh, and: "I got a feeling that under those jeans is something special just WAITING to get out."
Top-10 favorite. Watched it 10 years ago with a girlfriend in the theater and about 1/3 of the audience walked out on it. We couldn't believe it. It was the best film we'd seen all year. -
Remember that one? Oh man, the lines from that movie are so clever and witty! I can't stop quoting them! Classic shit.
-
One of my girlfriends put The Waterboy on there. I have a lot of girlfriends... I sleep with many women. Ask anyone... hrm.
-
Harry's getting married? Did you guys know that Moriarty has a kid, too? I can't believe they never ever talk about these things.
-
Whoever doesn't like Boogie Nights needs their movie fan credentials permanently revoked fascist style and whoever thinks it's all style over substance has no fucking soul and has never been out of their hometown, house or comfort zone. It's an emotional rollergirlcoaster and if any one of those actors said "Hello. How do you do?" it would be a classic reading. The scene with Amber Waves and Rollergirl doing coke and making plans is so brutally real it's scary. It might be in the form of one big Russ Meyer meets Martin Scorsese gritty cartoon, but every emotional beat in it is real to it's core.
-
I'm staring at the foxiest bitch in the whole wide world.
-
Oops Sorry, wrong Paul Thomas Anderson movie.
-
I officially apologize. I just like it as all. How about "That's very good technically. But it lacks passion."
-
You're a good man, Sean38. Here are a few other quotes that haven't been mentioned yet: "'Those are really cool. Are they lizard?''No, they're Italian." "'I think she did too much coke.''Do you think so, doctor?'" Classic. I had to watch it again a few nights ago. Just as great as the first time.
-
A five hundred pound drunken ginger beardy and his geeky sidekicks attempting to return volley ping-pong balls from some kind of human auto-serve machine is surely precisely what Tim Berners-Lee did not have in mind all those years ago. Lack of video footage also shows an embarassing failure to grasp the whole web 2.0 thing, whatever that is. Mind you, your paymasters at Penthouse probably have exclusivity rights on that. Ah, well. Some advice for you: always let Yoko go on top, no matter what. I don't care what kind of winching mechanism you have rigged up in your bedroom for your carnal thrustular delight, it's best not to risk it. b) Sometimes less is more, you know? Chum that shit to the five thousand on MySpace. c) Less amateur gynaecology, more movie stuff. If I want to lower myself into a cesspit of human degradation, I'll check my other bookmarks...
-
TODD!!!
-
It introduced us to Heather Graham's glorious naked body, and that made the world a better place.
Heather's still around. She just has the bad luck of getting put in crappy, failed projects. She starred in a show that was cancelled after one week. She had several-episode guest role on Scrubs. She was in some limited release (maybe to video) flick where she was naked 'n stuff. Most recently, she was in a badly reviewed, limited release comedy in which she makes out with Bridget Moynahan. Look it up on Youtube for a bit of arousal... Personally, I like Heather and hope she can get cast in something good. After her run on Scrubs, I thought she coulda stayed a regular character. I babbled to long about Heather, but, ahhhh, Heather. *sigh* -
...or something like that. Can't believe it's been TEN YEARS! I'm gonna listen to Night Ranger now on my Awesome Mix Tape.
-
I saw it for the first time in November of 97 and it instantly jumped into my top 4. I love everything about it, it's a brilliant film.
-
"That's Cosmo." (whisper) "He's Chinese."
-
Where's the Magnolia love, bitches?
-
A true classic. PTA hasn't reached BN's heights since.
A movie I can watch again and again. Great cast, great script, great camera work, great director, great film.
"This is the TK421." -
"I'm fucking shitfaced"
-
Ive never been to one before. I know that its free, but is there a limited area that fills up?
If we drive down on Saturday without tix, will we be OK? -
... I just looked up the address and realized this is about eight minutes from the new Casa De Moriarty. Thanks for making it so convenient, Tim.
-
back in the day. A female friend I worked with said "Your going to see a movie about the porn industry for your birthday..... Who are you going with?" Has it really been 10 years????
