shellylh Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Just saw this, what a shame. RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/03/movies/philip-seymour-hoffman-actor-dies-at-46.html?_r=0 Edited February 2, 2014 by shellylh Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Aw really? WTF. So this is one of the last things he did? Quote
Knuckledragger Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Wow, I'm shocked. I've been a fan of FSH since I saw Magnolia 15 or so years ago. 46 is way too young. Quote
HeadphoneAddict Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Yeah, just saw this too Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman, 46, has died http://usat.ly/1eK6GXi Quote
Wmcmanus Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Shocking news. He was perfect as Brandt in The Big Lebowski. As Walter would say, "Good night, sweet Prince." Edited February 2, 2014 by Wmcmanus 1 Quote
luvdunhill Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Conductor Claudio Abbado, 80, passed away yesterday. I believe my favorite Mahler 2 recording was by him, with the CSO, from the late '80s. Sometimes I think the CSO made a mistake hiring Barenboim instead of Abbado, but I suppose Barenboim left some good influences also. RIP It relieved the world from hearing his horrible horrible piano performances (Barenboim) which was a good thing in my book Quote
Voltron Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Awful news. What Walter and Wayne said. Quote
jp11801 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 I loved PSH's performances and it is incredibly sad that he could not get the help he needed Quote
Hopstretch Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Wow that sucks. Brilliant actor. Quote
n_maher Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Wow that sucks. Brilliant actor. This but also what a waste. I always have mixed feelings about overdose deaths, especially when it's someone who could have afforded any treatment he needed. Quote
raffy Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 I hate to sound like a douche but I'm with Nate. RIP PSH Quote
CD44hi Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Really sucjs, great actor. Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Riotvan Posted February 2, 2014 Report Posted February 2, 2014 Why do the good ones always have to die and we end up stuck with the dime a dozen hollywood fucktards. Rip.. Quote
Voltron Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Agree with Jacob. With or without strong heroine an addiction like this does not involve choice. I obviously don't know the details but he was supposedly sober for 23 years when he went into rehab in 2012, and just recently went through rehab for snorting heroine. It's tragic and stupid but I don't think you can dismiss the struggle just because the guy could afford treatment. Quote
n_maher Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 I didn't feel like typing a novel so yes, it was an over-simplification of how I feel about the issue. I celebrate the fact that he got and stayed sober for those 23 years. I feel for his kids that at some point he made the now-fatal decision to do drugs again. So yes it's tragic that he passed regardless of the reason but the reason also gives me pause. Quote
Aura Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 I see both sides and can't really debate. It's just such a shame for PSH, his family, and anyone who ever appreciated any of his work. Quote
