Hollywood film star Mark Wahlberg said that the film “Boogie Nights” is at the top of the list of movies he has asked God’s forgiveness for at a youth event hosted by the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago last Friday.

The 1997 hit film, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, featured Wahlberg as porn star Dirk Diggler, and earned several Academy Awards nominations.

Last December, the film star made headlines when he publicly chided “out of touch” Hollywood celebrities who were dissing Donald Trump before the presidential elections, urging them to stick to acting.

Boogie Nights is a great film. So many classic and intense scenes. Unfortunately that idiot Don Cheadle is in it.
I enjoyed that movie and he did a great job as usual. I might feel the same in his shoes after more life experience, but it was a fun entertaining movie.
He does not need to feel bad about smoking pot with a teddy bear either. That was good fun too.
IF he wanted Gods forgiveness then he should have donated his earnings for that film to a worthy cause.
It was funny as all hell. Usually don’t hear them apologize for a really good movie.
Wahlberg is what I’d call an ‘everyman’. In a movie he seems to play a role we could easily imagine ourselves in.
He isn’t stand out handsome, athletic, or much of anything else. He’s built, but he just seems to be the guy next door type.
If you went to the bar, you’d run into him, someone who kind of seemed average, just like him.
I think that’s why I enjoy his movies so much. You’re comfortable with the guy and the way he reacts to things in a movie, because it seems just about like what your reaction would be.
He has come up with a great niche, and I enjoy his movies a lot.
Racy premise, sure.
VERY poignant.
Mostly an indictement of porn as a refuge for lost souls.
he did something pretty terrible when he was young- but thankfully has since turned his life around-
Mark Wahlberg is seeking a pardon from the state of Massachusetts for an assault he committed in 1988 that left a man blind in one eye
Wahlberg, now 43, served 45 days in prison and was tried as an adult even though he was just 16 years old at the time
Documents show he called one of his victims a ‘Vietnam f***ing s***’ and that he later chased a group of black children, shouting: ‘Kill the n*****!’
The actor, who has always been vocal about his troubled past, is now a married father who attends church every day
Great movie. I wouldn’t apologize for being naked with either Julianne Moore or Heather Graham.
The movie was professional directed and represented the epitome of of the porn industry in the San fernando valley and the upheaval of those who worked in the golden age of porn abd were transitioning to the cheaper method of using cheap cameras and distributed on VHS tapes. It also shows ordinary dumb people becoming engrossed in the Industry and ruining their lives because of it.
I’ve never seen it either. For those who have seen it, is it even worth watching to make fun of or is it just too gross?
Boogie nights was great.
Particularly if you had engaged in many Antics like I Did or observed, cuz some Shiite even I can’t tolerate...
Why not a kidney too?
Good thing God is more forgiving than some people.
The “Sister Christian” scene is one of the best in all of movie history.
Wait, what? We can pay off our sins? Do you have a fee schedule so I can settle up out of my estate? You sound like a guy Martin Luther would have had a good time with.
(All of the above is firmly tongue-in-cheek. I'm Catholic, so....)
I never minded looking at him. And I like the way he talks.
That’s not how God offers forgiveness. Good gravy!
“He isn’t stand out handsome, athletic, or much of anything else.”
I think you’re thinking of his brother.
He is one of the best actors in Hollywierd. Always plays a normal guy you would like to meet.
That scene was great. Made you totally uncomfortable and it was dead nuts on to the craziness of the drug scene back then.
