An example was given in the previous post- to recap, the tv show discussing an actor’s experience while filming a movie and questioning the character’s anatomy to the actor’s anatomy. It is not likely that such a question would have come up if the interview was about The Big Red One or Saving Private Ryan (well, maybe Saving Ryan’s Privates).
Earlier in the thread I picked a few movies off the top of my head as example, but evidence of porn merging with mainstream entertainment abounds. From hot, scantly clad babes in movies about shape shifting robots to critics’ frame by frame analysis of subliminal clouds of dust or questioning the intent of the animator when positioning the characters a certain way. Of course your mileage may vary.
All that said, I don’t know if you are taking my observation of porn merging with mainstream entertainment as a challenge for you to defend porn or hollywood, both, or whatever. If so, please do not mistake my noting this as being offended by it. Were I offended, I could just as easily ignore it rather than pay it any attention.
No interest in defending porn (or in porn in general) just took slight exception to the idea that a film like Boogie Nights signified pornographic strains in popular entertainment. I love that film and it is not pornographic.
