I thought this movie was just OK.  The last few scenes were just gruesome and left me with a creepy feeling.  There were some shots/ concepts that I thought were just a blatant rip from Boogie Nights.  Not a bad film though.

That's because PTA took his shots/concepts for Boogie Nights directly from the REAL John Holmes documentary film, Exhausted... watch Exhausted, then watch Boogie Nights, and you will see who ripped from who (in all due PTA respect, of course...)...

(Highlight if you want to read below)

the last few scenes show John wacking people with lead pipes.  The murders are shown in quite wicked detail.  It’s just blood splattering every which way.  And the sound effects, too were just…. Yuck. I think murder is hard to watch anyway, but I had some weird attachment to the characters, which I can’t figure out cause they were all druggies… but still….

While it didn't make Boogie Nights-level waves at the box office, on February 10th, Lion's Gate Home Entertainment will give the John Holmes biopic Wonderland another shot on DVD. Starring Val Kilmer as the legendary porn star with a legendary member, this feature-packed special edition includes an anamorphic widescreen transfer, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track, an audio commentary track with writer and director James Cox (really, no joke) and Kilmer, deleted scenes, a short film, actual crime scene walk-through video, autopsy reports, a still gallery and theatrical trailers. Retail is $26.95.

So yeah.  There's the actual LAPD crime scene video on the dvd.  It's pretty fucking gross and unsettling.  I can't believe it's actually on the dvd, and I only can imagine the reactions of the poor people who actually stumble upon this, not expecting well... dead bodies with their heads smashed in.  And LA cops in gawdy plaid pants.  Bizarre.

same thing is on the Autofocus dvd. looks like a new trend.

with the success of gay ass shows like CSI, the public must be hungry for sicker shit.
