Packet 4: Tossup 2

Description NOT acceptable. An extreme close-up traverses the words of a news article about this character in the leftmost segment of a four-way split screen arranged by editor Dylan Tichenor. The first film about this character is narrated by an actor known for playing “Ghoulardi” and stars an actor who cameoed in the second as a customer buying a “TK 421.” A shot depicting this character’s dream shows fire enveloping a neon sign. To depict a man’s lusty gaze towards this character, a wide shot fades into an iris highlighting this character near a (*) pool. A 360-degree pan around this character’s room depicts pin-ups, the poster for Serpico, (10[1])and stills from Bruce Lee movies. (-5[1])A film holds on a shot (-5[1])of this character’s smile as firecrackers go off over an “awesome” mixtape blasting “Jessie’s Girl.” (-5[1])That film’s aspect (10[1])ratio changes when depicting this character starring as spy Brock Landers (10[1])in films by Jack Horner. (10[3]-5[1])For 10 points, name this protagonist of Paul Thomas Anderson’s (10[3])film Boogie Nights. ■END■ (10[6])
