Okay, am I the only one who wanted to fast forward through the movie and just watch the Mark parts? I just didn't like it and I think the character was soooo far from Mark. I just don't get how Mark got so much acclaim for this movie but his better movies got hacked by film critics.

Well, you're entitled to disagree. Everybody has there own opinion, no need to be sorry.

I agree with you on the "not Mark" part. But the gentle, kind, and polite part of him in that movie is what made him even sexier.

Yeah, I kinda thought the parts without Mark were boring. The movie as a whole was good, though... Mark's answers to the questions Jack asked him when Mark first came over to his house sounded so fake in my opinion... I thought that it was cute when he kept on asking all that stuff to his lady in the first porn film they shot.

I sort of see what you mean. This movie wasn't to my personal taste (not because I'm a prude or anything but sometimes I just found it dragged a bit) but I can see why people liked it and why it is acclaimed. It was a gritty tale of a shadowy industry that just portrayed itself as glamourous but there was a lot of pain beneath the surface. So, it was a very difficult, complex subject to tackle.

Mark gets acclaim *because* "his character is so different" to him - it is a lot harder to act a role convincingly that is far removed from you.

And the reason I think it gets more acclaim than his other films are that his other films, while being more accessible to us are simpler films (eg. -Fear is basically a teen flick, POTA is basically an action remake, etc.). So while we enjoy them more, they are more straightforward.

Anyway, those are my thoughts on it...

what i didn't like about the movie, that it had so many things in it that i couldn't ever watch it with any of my parents...lol. I would have liked to see Mark in a better film around this time instead of boogie nights.But i didn't fastforward anything.

I thought the movie was great but it's the kind of film that you watch only once then wait for a LONG while to watch it again...That's just my opinion.
