Wadd: The Life and Times of John C. Holmes

P.T. Anderson got MANY things from the real lifestory of this guy to build his Boogie Nights. Some of its scenes are identical to those portraited here in this documentary.

Interesting documentary about the life and times of a human freakshow. It's a bit ham-fisted with the emotional ending and presentation. The producers and directors of this seem to be tied to the porn biz so it's questionable how biased this is. At the end of the day there are just as many questions as there are answers about Holmes. However his very real connection to a quadruple murder probably indicates a whole lot of nastiness to him we will never know about.

What a waste of a life.
