What’s on TV

BOOGIE NIGHTS (1997) 11 p.m. on IFC. Electing to begin watching Paul Thomas Anderson’s 155-minute take on the Los Angeles pornography industry of the 1970s-1980s at 11 p.m. takes commitment. Those who sign on will find colorful company in Eddie Adams (Mark Wahlberg), the teenager at the center of the film who early on decides that his true calling is in pornography and that Dirk Diggler is a wise choice for a professional name. He goes to work for a film director played by Burt Reynolds, who is one of many notable members of this movie’s smashing ensemble, which includes Julianne Moore, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, Heather Graham, William H. Macy and Philip Seymour Hoffman. In her review for The New York Times, Janet Maslin wrote that “everything about ‘Boogie Nights’ is interestingly unexpected,” a terrific note of praise. For those who want to start a bit earlier, the film is also available to stream on Amazon, iTunes and Vudu.
