Boogie Nights + Tusk

HomerMcvie · #1 07-22-2006, 01:36 AM

So, I've loved Boogie Nights since it came out. I finally got around to buying the deluxe 2 DVD set. In the outtakes, there's a whole scene that has Tusk as the backround music. I was quite shocked, as(of course) most of the music was disco related, in the released version.
Anyone else seen this?

I hated this movie. I truly think that Marky Mark is one of the WORST actors in Hollywood today.

The movie does have great music in it, though. However, I don't think I've seen the Tusk scene.

I love that movie, too. What was going on in the movie during the TUSK scene?

No argument on Marky Mark! He's terrible.

Very ODDLY, it was two characters that "I" don't recall ever being in the released version. A black couple(and the man wasn't "Buck"). The man punches the woman, while she's sitting on the floor. She follows him to the door, and (apparently) kills him with an iron skillet.
Then, it cuts to Marky driving, while snorting from a "silver spoon".

Whoa! Was one of them the black girl, the one with green eyes? Were they alone or at a party?
Trip out.

They were alone. As such, I didn't understand their context within the movie.
I think she DID have green eyes.....did I miss her in an original scene??? I couldn't remember either character, even in the background, from the original...

I'm talking about the girl that was Becky - at the party scene, she was the one talking a mile a minute to that guy outside on the patio umbrella table about "You're a Leo? I'm a Pisces. So blah blah blah etc". Kinda angry.
She was in other scenes, too, she was one of the peripheral porn girls. Really pretty.
That's a weird scene anyway, though. I like the way the movie showed how coke degraded peoples lives, made everything angry, eventually ruined things and made everyone kind of violent.

It has Walter Egan on the soundtrack, does it not? "Magnet & Steel" from Memory...

Here is a link to info about the Wonderland murders, on which part of Boogie Nights is loosely based.

Didn't Val Kilmer do the John Holmes movie? Was the part in Boogie Nights that is based on those murders the part with the big dealer, and "Jesse's Girl"? then all hell breaks loose? That part?

Yes, foxy, magnet and steel.

Whoa, $1500/coke habit?!?! That seems impossible. I mean, impossible. Was he sharing with a bunch of people, or was that all him? Why would a porn star think it's a good idea to do coke? You can't do porn if your weiner doesn't work. Lame.

Oh, yes, I see that it was. What a disgusting, nasty business. Thanks for the link. *shudder*.

Yes, the "Wonderland" movie was directly based on the murders, and "Boogie Nights" was inspired by relationships surrounding the murders. I didn't see the "Wonderland" movie, but in a way, I think it is more interesting to take the incident, and then work backwards to imagine how the character (somewhat like John Holmes) might reach that place. I really like Paul Thomas Anderson. I saw 'Punch Drunk Love" on my wedding day.
Marky Mark isn't a great actor, but he supported by them in the movie, and his dopey (no pun intended) demeanor fits the character, I think.

That is exactly what I thought.

nasty business.
I haven't seen punch drunk love, I should check it out.

Did you see how Mark Lindsay lived in both the Manson house and the Wonderland House? Weird.

Yes, of course. Tusk is on the BONUS DVD, which has deleted scenes, director's commentaries, etc... That's where the 2-3 minute scene with Tusk playing is located.
