Your name in lights
I'm watching Boogie Nights on the telly tonight. It's one of my favourite films. Fucking Roller Girl!
I saw DOOM tonight. It's a crap movie. Made me realise that Aliens is one of my favourite films.
That scene in Boogie Nights where they try to do the drug deal. The most intense scene ever. It's the most hilarious scene ever. The most intensely hilarious scene ever. It's a fitting end to the middle act, the eighties, where everything turns to shit for everyone.
The eighties-est mansion. The huge arse black bodyguard. The guy with the mo in undies and dressing gown. The little Asian guy walking around setting off firecrackers. The three guys flinching to each explosion. "Awesome mixtape #6". Russian roulette. The sports car needing a push start down the hill for our hero Dirk to escape the gunfight.
Sister Christian b/w Jessie's Girl b/w 99 Red Balloons [or the German equivalent]
I downloaded the first two songs just because they're brilliant. Oh, and that silence when the tape changes over to Rick Springfield.
God Only Knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
I've always been looking for the soundtrack for Boogie Nights. I usually don't buy soundtrack albums to films. I've got three/four. I Shot Andy Warhol, where Nate's wife shoots Andy Warhol; just because there's a Pavement song not found elsewhere [turned out to be a great album... shame about the Pavement song]; Grosse Pointe Blank, for its arse-kicking eighties songs; About a Boy, for Badly Drawn Boy's light pop. Oh, and that terrible Wim Wenders film from 2000 doesn't deserve a mention.
Boogie Nights is still on my list.
Does this count as a review?

I enjoyed talking to myself last week. It was quite refreshing.
I don't want to do it too often though. Don't want to make it a 'thing' or something.
What do you think, Martin? Do you believe in me?
Oh, and, why didn't 99 Red Balloons rate any mention. It's gotta be as good, possibly better than bloody Sister Christian[Interrobang]
Steve asked about facial expressions. You haven't responded, like you said you would.
what-?
the mention of God Only Knows made me smile~

Also, I have to ashamedly say that I flicked through Boogie Nights to get the Wahlberg content... have to watch it impartially again next time.
God Only Knows is my second favourite Beach Boys song. It's just so pretty. My most favourite of theirs, and also one of my all time favourite songs, is Don't Worry Baby.
Oh, and don't pay any attention to what Martin said above. He was talking to me, not you. His message is somewhat redundant, now.
This is getting confusing, I'll tell him to stop.
