Phillip Seymour Hoffman dead

[vern]

"Pig fuck!"

[Blaidd Drwg]

Another junkie died. So fucking what!

Give it one more shot. Perhaps by the third installment I'm sure someone will care that you don't care.

I loved him in Charlie Wilson's War. RIP.

I'm pretty sure that that is the only movie I've seen than he was in. He was
quite good as that irascible Greek American CIA agent.

The drug death didn't surprise me, the fact that he wasn't gay did.

Maybe in the fith or sixth post of this dumb thread you'll move on and morn the death of an actual worth while human being.

[nafod]

I wonder who will play him in the biopic.

Gotta be a short, fat fucker. Jason Alexander maybe.

So he was in rehab and still relapsed on heroin. Are you asserting that he was weak willed?

I'm asserting that he's not worth the attention. No more than the local used car salesman or unemployed bartender found dead in the local roach motel with a needle stuck in their arm. I'll save my sympathies for his children and family.

Addiction sucks, but I saw an interview today with him, and his face lit up speaking about drugs and how much he liked them.

I can never figure this stuff out. We lost at 20 year kid to an heroin OD in my town 2 weeks ago.

3 kids under 10, a stable partner, an Oscar, one of the top 10 actors of his generation, fame, fortune, and you put a needle in your arm. Not sniffing coke, smoking grass, getting falling down drunk.

Selfish and disgusting.

I don't think you go from 23 years sobriety directly to shooting up for fun. He was 46 and out of shape. Any number of issues could have resulted in a short-term prescription for painkillers, which he thought he could have handled, but couldn't. And it goes down from there.

When John Belushi died in 1980 I was saddened. I even bought the book, "Wired", by
one of the two Watergate heroes. Apparently he died from a speedball overdose.

So many celebrity's how died since 1980 that I am relatively unfazed now.

How do you die from shooting up heroin? I know it happens, I just wonder how. Apparently these guys shoot all the time and are just fine. Then one time, they aren't? Why?

One way would be used to shooting heroin that is about 40% pure then getting a dose that is 90% pure.

Lulz that bat boy mourns for anything. There are no worthwhile human beings, just people you like and people you don't.

Proto, OD'ing on H is pretty easy if as noted, you don;t know the purity of your supply. It's especially easy of you mix it with a benzo. It's the benzos that kicks you off most of the time.

Save your relativism for someone who gives two shits.

I'm having a candlelight vigil for him on my Facebook page, right now.

Do not make BB come over here. If you keep forgetting how little of a fuck he gives, BB will have to stamp around until his poor little beaner feet are nothing but bloody stubs of extreme apathy.

I can understand the indignant sentiments, I personally felt that addiction in general was not a disease but a moral shortcoming for decades. Luckily with old age comes a measure of empathy and hopefully understanding, even through a thick skull like mine. It's probably not something you can talk someone out of in a forum post but I'll just suggest going a little easier on people, you may later wish you hadn't said what you say.

[Kazuya Mishima]

Good riddance. Takes a giant fucking pussy to leave behind a wife and kids to the spike. If he was black I'm sure there'd be a much different sentiment around here.

How would the opinions of those on this thread who criticized his choices be different?

I'd assume the overall sentiment would be "welp, another drug addict nig bites the dust" not "oh, what a poor tortured soul, he was a brilliant actor!"

Nope...totally depends on who it is regardless of skin color.

If Kanye West succumbed to a drug overdose, I wouldn't laugh or rejoice any harder than if one of those bible beating Duck Dynasty homophobes accidentally ventilated their own skull cap while cleaning a shotgun.

Along those lines, there are plenty of people who are darker than me that I would be saddened to see their untimely passing.

I liked Hoffman in just about everything that he was in. By every outward measure and metric that Hollywood seems to reward he should have been long ago forgotten or relegated to the type of shit stuff he was thrown in Twister and Boogie Nights. As it was, he had a quirky charisma, slightly offbeat delivery, and an incredible ability to immerse himself into the role he was playing. He was that rare actor that could make you forget that you were watching a guy play a role. He was just damned good, and it's hard to say why...he just was. When he was on screen, he stole the show just about every time.

I feel sorry for him, the lady in his life, and the kids. Fucking sucks. What a waste.

I guess one has to have a hobby. Beats the hell out of Drwgs pastime of chasing everyone in a thread that insulted his favorite deceased fat heroin addict actor and human waste of space.

teeehheee..

my but you're an easiest mark in this joint.

[milosz]

In addition to purity issues it's not uncommon for someone recently clean to relapse and bite it - your system is no longer used to addict doses, you're not going to start with a beginner dose, bad combo.

[Batboy2/75]

teeehheee..

My condition is called penis envy.

Whole heartily agree.
