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.
