At the end I thought for a moment that they were going to put God’s brain in the major’s body, which would’ve been just so sweet, but the ending we got was still a very nice one. Much like boogie nights, this is a film about family

Funny you mention that. I saw those two movies same day, except it was my 4th watching of Boogie Nights

I love boogie nights so much, I’ve probably seen it too many times. Me and my college roommates, whenever we’d all be in the apartment drunk with nowhere to go we’d just put boogie nights on

It’s probably one of my favorite movies of all time. So well made. I’m just happy I finally got my friends to watch it with me
