To me this is like the movie Speed, which you shared a link to your review and I read it.
At first watching it draws me in and I like it.
Then afterwards reflecting on it and a few rewatches it doesn't look so good.

I went the opposite this time; didn't like it the first few times and finally started to realize good the acting was. Eventually, Paul Thomas Anderson made pretentious films. I hate his stuff and avoid them.

I disagree with your well made review.
I think there is plenty of Plot in this film and that is the only reason I like it. Not the porn. Each character is layered in their own set of problems. I dont actually like anybody in the film, but I do lik certain things here and there from everyone. I actually really lik when Dirk tries to Hav a sex scene and they are denying him, though he is the star. I like the rollerskater who is hot as hell but very bimboish, you never often see that so raw.
Amber being so strange, hardcore, desperate, vain, wavy, lustful, unpredictable. Don Chedle was a great change of pace that showed how different races were looked down upon, and treated differently. Especially blacks. I Never liked Mark in this and felt he was miscast, but think it was good he made it, cause I mightve watched it even less if he hadnt been in it, and he made it somewhat fun. I Have never liked Burt in anything, and this was my first time seeing him in anything. And thought he sucked. His character wasmt terribly written, but he just made him worst. Surprised he was nominated for anything since I considered him the worst part of the movie, and unwatchable. I did lik Molina, and His Scarface act was Epic! No Mention of Thomas Jane, Nina? I Feel your review couldve been ten times longer. I never Liked this film, Never
Wanted to watch it, hate it, it’s a bad film. But it’s still a 9 based on it’s overall quality, and quirky script. Im a big Fan of Heather Graham! So I enjoy watching her. This was the first film I or second I saw Julian Moore but the first time I saw her like this and noticed her, and hated her for the longest. Never found her attractive, but repulsive, couldnt watch her, and Didnt like her acting or face. But in time she grew on me as you well know. I think this was my second Mark film. First Probably Fear. He is not a terrible actor or rapper. But I can see the hate, post departed. I cant watch him in anything. Though I did like Pain and Gain. Did you not like the Hit? Dirk did die of aids. Though I dont like Boogie nights, overall it has good quality, and good trivia and think every boy should watch it!

My rating was all over the place for Boogie Nights since it came out. It's always a different opinion each time because I looked at the overall product, then the story, then the ambience, and finally the characters. It stayed intriguing nonetheless. I finally decided that Burt Reynolds really gave the best performance. Everybody was very good in his or her own way. Burt was like one level above the rest. I still didn't feel there was a strong story but a series of subplots which added more to the film. It was an Altman film at best not directed by the man himself. The language was quite good in the meantime which was another strong selling point. I also decided that the porn stuff ceased to matter even though it's originally meant to be shocking.

Rothchild was an annoying character but he brought a character that is often stepped on, treated lik crap, a loser, a poser, a leech, that is all too common in this. Philip, the hidden Common closet. Burt the Cuck. Nina the Whore. Rollerblade the common ditsey naive teen. Yesterday I was reading about porn, and Often cute hot teen misguided girls fall into this, and get paid crap. Many with illusions of stardom, poverty, desperation, abusive parents, terrible boyfriends, no guidance in life or career. Many Pornstars have suicided like Kagney, not always die from aids. Aids and stds are rampant in these careers obviously. Ironically, Macy killed himself from his broken spirit. Mark the Exploited Ego-Inflated male Whore!

Childhood sex abuse is usually the root of their destruction. Drugs are there to numb the pain until they can't take it anymore, hence the suicide.
