Vulture did an in-depth interview with William H. Macy about the making of Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights, and it's an excellent read. I pulled some tidbits out for the post, but I encourage you

Lol at "Jiminy Christmas."

I've never seen Boogie Nights but I watched Magnolia and Licorice Pizza for the first time recently. I really disliked both for different reasons, which was disappointing because I LOVE There Will Be Blood and The Phantom Thread. So I guess PTA movies are just super hit or miss for me.

PSH was the best part of Magnolia, and generally the best part of everything he was in imo. And I thought Cooper Hoffman was so great in LP - he's one of the nepo babies I'm rooting for.

I disliked Boogie Nights and though Licorice Pizza was dumb. I've heard Tom Cruise's performance in Magnolia is very good but I realized I'm just not a fan of PTA. oh well

[squirrels_oh_no]

Magnolia is surprisingly great for being so long.

Magnolia is definitely Tom Cruise's best work of his career but if you don't like PTA lol yeah it's a very long movie

[whatwouldwasdo]

magnolia is one of my favourite movies ever but i don't really care for PTA's other work, if that counts for anything lol

Cooper Hoffman was so good! I hope he keeps acting.
