Boogie Nights 2-Disc? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Disco Stu · 05-31-2000, 05:28 PM

I understand that on August 29th (according to both reel.com and buy.com), a 2 disc version of Boogie nights will be released. Now I have the initial edition, and it has always been one of my favorite discs, not just for the movie, but also for the extras, the wonderful commentary, the hilarious deleted scenes (especially the Chico and Brock 16mm scene), the character bios (not a feature I've seen since, it lists the porno movies each character was in), and many other features (oddly enough, no trailer).

I know that there was a Limited Criterion Laserdisc that featured a different commentary where P.T. Anderson got the cast members drunk, and there was also 30 minute excerpt from the John Holmes documentary that inspired "Boogie Nights," on top of a hidden behind the scenes on a "test penis" that was attempted. Sadly I never got a chance to rent that version, I only read about it, I couldn't find it anywhere (despite the fact that I live in New York City, laserdisc rentals are hard to find around here), and I certainly wasn't going to pay the $100 price tag.

My question is, does anyone know what, if any of these features will be on this new version? I hope the rumor isn't true about Anderson going back and re-editing the movie with the deleted scenes back in. The film was always at an almost perfect length for my tastes, the deleted scenes are funny separately, but they would make the movie's pace lag. Anyone who knows the answer to this question, I would be grateful.

According to www.ptanderson.com Boogie Nights Double disc will include the following:

Boogie Nights

PTA states that this will include all the supplemental material from the first DVD as well as the following:

Criterion LaserDisc commentary track! This track included PTA, Julianne Moore, Mark Wahlberg, Heather Graham, John C. Reilly, Don Cheadle & Bill Macy! This is great news as Criterion rarely (if ever) lends their supplemental materials to other studios releases (unless they are co-producing the DVD, which New Line is not doing for this one). Additional commentary by Luis Guzman (answering allegations made on the Criterion commentary track) & Melora Walters.

Something PTA has dubbed the "John C. Reilly Files". I have no idea what this will entail, but PTA promises that we won't be disappointed.

Additional deleted scenes (with PTA commentary) including the Becky Barnett subplot that PTA cut. Again, this will be a two disc set due to all the supplemental material that will be included. Paul also said that he is "very happy" with the new Boogie transfer.

Lastly, before I get flooded with emails, Paul had one last thing to say. Just buy the DVD's on August 29th, you won't be disappointed!

There will some additional extras (No "Dirk Diggler Story", "Cops Footage" or "Flagpole Special", so don't ask!) on both discs, but I will keep this under wraps until we get closer to the street date. I hope to be the first website on the Internet with reviews (but not spoilers) of both of these discs this summer, so stay tuned for further developments!

There you go!!! This is going to be awesome! I got mine on order!

Thanks a lot Chili. You're one of the few people on a message board to actually cite your sources. Most people just take credit even though they just pasted something off of another site.

I'm not sure if I'll order it, I think I'll rent it first, to see if it's worth the xtra money. I have to pick and choose these things, I'll probably just go ahead and order the new MGM version of Spinal Tap even though I already have the Criterion version. Certainly, I owe you some gratitude as I would never have thought to look for the PT Anderson site on my own.
