Hoax?
Link please.

Just read the news, very sad indeed :(

I was wondering where he's been. Hadn't seen him in any movies lately.

He was good in "The Master" last year

Wasn't he in hunger games?

edit: yes he was. now they probably won't make or release the 3rd movie...fuckign hell.

It was a tongue in cheek comment.

Gfy is serious bidness re: philip seymour hoffman.

That's too bad. I just read the other day that he was going to be directing a Jake G/Amy Adams movie.

I enjoyed his acting.

Oh no. I really wanted GFY to be wrong on this one.

that really sucks. drugs again i guess. i really liked him in owning mahoney.

I saw this good small film that Hoffman was in recently:







One of the great actors of our time...heroin OD is a sad way to die at 46 (plus he left behind three children). :(

How To Help A Heroin Addict

:stoned

ADG

drugs are bad m'kay

Such an amazing talent. What a complete fuckin waste.

He was so great in the film "Happiness".

Hoffman introduced me to the term "Sharted" in the movie Along Came Polly.

Loved him in Lebowski. RIP.

fucking heroin...:Oh crap

So since january 1st 2014 is 5 actors dead so far (gay/tranny/hollywood)

R.I.P. :(

R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman :(

He was good in the 25th Hour.

that was some crafty shit! watched it a couple weeks ago

25th hour was a very good movie that he was in, I just watched a movie on Netflix he was in with Matt Damon called the talented Mr Ripley. It was a pretty decent flic but he always seemed to play the socially awkward characters.

I always enjoyed his work. He was very talented. And he was still so young. Drugs are just too much for some people.

As others have mentioned in this thread, his performance in Owning Mahoney is amazing.

Oddly enough one of my favorite memories of him doesn't even involve him. It was an interview with Serena Williams at the Golden Globes (I think, but it may have been the Oscars) one year when Hoffman was a nominee. She is asked by the interviewer who she is looking forward to seeing and she mentions a few names then she says, "I am really looking forward to seeing Phillip Semen Hoffman."

He was only 46 but looked 66 so I'm guessing he was abusing himself for a very long time.

All that talent and success and still he needed an addictive substance to get him through his oh-so-glamorous Hollywood life. Fucking sad - yet typical in some ways.

R.I.P.

Damn.Didnt know he was junked out....

Sad.
He had everything except his sobriety.

RIP sad news

Funny how the "legalize drugs" crowd avoids these threads

What a shame. I was waiting on Boogie Nights Part Deux

I think the legality of it isn't something you would discuss during an RIP thread. But the argument of whether grown men have the right to kill themselves with drugs is an important debate. Getting them is illegal, and he was able to use them regularly anyway. But it is a very sad loss.

[QUOTE=TheSquealer;19967019]Funny how the "legalize drugs" crowd avoids these threads[/QUOT

As we both know, addiction is a complicated and complex issue. Could have just as easily have been death from alcohol poisoning (legal drug). NO difference.

Point is a talented guy was lost be that from a car crash or a drug overdose.

Now go fuck yourself. :thumbsup

Very sad.
One of the greats.
And to think he was clean for 23 years...

[QUOTE=JockoHomo;19967031]was not tho

[QUOTE=brassmonkey;19967071]NO it was not - but dead is dead so you point is rather irrelevant. :winkwink:

More Americans die from prescription drug overdoses than coke and heroin overdoses combined. It's not even close.

another friend is gone

lol, because they are not taking them as directed. They are overdosing which is what kills them, not the taking of prescription drugs as directed by their doctors.

junkie be junkie go (no sympathy for heroin injecting weaklings)

Shame :(

I completely agree.

The dude had everything- fame, fortune, accolades, family. He was recently named the highest paid actor in hollywood, won the oscar, legions of fans. All of it.

He chose heroin instead.

He obviously had his priorities and died doing what he liked most.

My point was in response to Squealer's comment. Just because something is legal, doesn't mean it can't be abused. And just because something is illegal, doesn't mean it is going to be abused.

You can regulate all you want. People will do what they want to do regardless, if they are so inclined. Based on history, in the United States, prohibition has very negative consequences. Finally seeing some light with marijuana.

Oh no, another guy chose to fuck up his own life with drugs and dies. How unfortunate.

Meanwhile 100 kids die from hunger and disease without a chance in life, and no one gives a shit.

It's nature's way...don't be a hater. :thumbsup

There is more and more suicides since paul markham closed his website

Fucking hell it's real.

He was one of the best actors of this day and age. What a sad waste of an end to yet another great acting talent.

And you came to this conclusion...how?

He was a pretty cool guy. He read Shakespeare at a little theater group in LA once in a while.

Really? I always assumed he was of supporting actor caliber, never imagined he was that huge :2 cents:
When I heard his name I had no idea who he was (when I saw his picture of course I knew him, but not by name). Strange considering he was top paid actor :)

Which is exactly what kills you from ANY overdose of anything. Whether it be alcohol, heroin, prescription drugs, or bayer aspirin.

If you put too much of any of those things into your bloodstream...you overdose and die.

Reading Keith Richards book he said that what causes most heroin overdoses is when people get off of heroin for a while.
Inevitably, he said, you get the urge to do it again. So you try to do the same amount you did when you were doing it everyday.

But your body isn't able to handle that dose anymore and you end up overdosing and dying.

Makes sense. And nobody would know better than Keef (except maybe Nikki Sixxx)

heroin addicts choose the first high. After that they don't choose anymore. Getting off opiates literally requires locking a junkie up.

:(

Well it was illegal and he still died... so.... ummm what good is your criminalizing something and ruining lives without saving any? None.. Portugal has an all legal model and their addiction rates for hard drugs have dropped by 50% in the last 11 years.

It makes our point exactly. People will get drugs whether illegal or not, however they will hide it when they have a problem due to risk of deeper trouble and having their lives ruined by legal issues for ingesting a substance. You don't have to be "for" a particular drug to be against the sham that is the drug war.

Nah lets leave it all illegal so the Government and Law enforcement have more reasons to shit on our rights using drugs as their excuse to bypass probable cause. The man just died.. Heroin is currently illegal.. How exactly did this protect him? Oh cause he was famous he was able to get it right? Oh wait nope.. it is one of the cheapest most easily available drugs..., and if you had watched the video above ADG posted it explains that Hoffman was clean for 23 years until he started up again after being given prescription pain killers.... FD fucking A approved and that is what led him back to Heroin. Foolish drug war fuckin fanboys.
