I think that I've told the story here before but I attended the premiere of Blow and went to the after party. The premiere was @ The Mann's Chinese theater and for the party, we walked 2 blocks down Hollywood Blvd. to the Egyptian Theater and American Cinematheque event space. The walk was almost as much fun as the party but that's another story.
It was a bash for the ages, just good old fashioned Hollywood excess and debauchery. Johnny spent the night in and out of a Star Wagon, (trailer), with Marilyn Manson. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they were using drugs. All of the rest of the cast was there, I sat at a big round table with Elizabeth Hurley and a bunch of other Brits. She was a chain smoker and about as sexy as an ashtray to me.
They had little miniature movie posters folded into bindles scattered all over the tables, I grabbed a bunch of them and threw them in my top dresser drawer where they remained for a couple of decades until I gave them to Ted Demme's two children in 2024, I could not believe that they did not have any and they were thrilled to get them. He died shortly after the film was released, (and shortly after that premiere and party), his son was an infant and daughter was a toddler.
Maybe TMI but yeah, I've seen it and this thread really brought up some memories. Those were the days...my life is quiet now and I'm happy about that. I will never feel like I missed out on "going to the party."
