  3. Spam, self promotion, trolling, and bots are not allowed

  4. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem.

    Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred.

    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your post/comment being removed and/or more severe actions. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

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.
