    Boogie Nights, my wife had enough of it and insisted on leaving.

    I wanted to leave the art film “Burnt By the Sun” but ended up apologizing to my date (she liked arty films too). We both agreed it was so bad it was almost amusing.

      I went to sleep away lacrosse camp when I was 11-12, and one night they had boogie nights on, but you needed to be 14 or up before they’d let you watch. I regarded it at the time as less movie and more pornographic spectacle. Obviously ended up watching it as I got older, and while yes, it’s a bit pornographic spectacle, it’s also a very well made film. Great story, great pacing, well directed.

      Yes, that’s all I have to offer.
