I think this is the first celebrity death since John Ritter that hit me like a ton of bricks. I admire this dude so damn much. Such an enormous talent that made any movie with him in it at least watchable. I'm really gonna miss him on the big screen. The amazing roles left unfulfilled. What a loss.

This is sad. I can't actually count how many great films I've seen that were great in large part because of him.

I don't understand people that don't have compassion if someone OD's. You're perfect, you have no weaknesses?

The only thing funny about this may be the reactions it gets here. I mean, come ON.
Plus he has 3 kids ffs.

Fuck, I don't want to believe this.
I was just wondering what he was up to lately.

I am already mad.
I could see where this is coming. I think this guy was a great actor, but dying of heroine is fucking stupid and makes me have less sympathy for him.

It's best to ignore those types of people. Too simple minded and a waste of space.

His ability to play comedic roles along with the heavier, depth-heavy serious characters was some of the best in the whole goddamn industry. Even in bit parts the dude had a gravity to him that pulled your eyes away from everyone else.
I can't believe we'll never see another movie with him in it again.

You can still have sympathy for him and think this was a very stupid way to die.

Probably in the Top 5 or so best actors of all time, this is absolutely devastating to me. Definitely going to go back through his history and watch some of his best movies in mourning.

Can we not derail this thread with bullshit? Who cares what some randoms on twitter say. Stop giving them the attention they seek.
He is supposed to be in the next 2 Hunger Games movies, but I don't think they finished filming them...
Edit: It looks like they finished filming the first part but not the second...

I'm pretty sure the finished shooting the next hunger games movie already, so there's probably a few more movies with him in it left.
yeah the world is black and white with no chance to fail or you won't get simpaty... for me that doesn't work even if he had an overdose that make me pitty him even more, an addiction is not a easy thing to deal with.

Most people think being human is a one dimensional quality, which makes it impossible for the same person to do both good and evil. Society has the regrettable tendency of reinforcing this belief through oversimplification in media and historical records.
people have weaknesses, and you're an asshole

Those movies aren't really on my radar, apologies. Still, we could have had so much more in the years to come.

That area of the West Village where he lived in is full of dealers selling shit all the time. It must of been really rough for him knowing you are always going to be tested. I said this earlier about him, he was very chill when he came to the bar. Came dolo and was great to the staff. He has been going there for years...Great stories he told. Surely he will be missed.

Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of the rare actors that elevated anything he was in, whether it was heavy hitters like Capote and The Master or mediocre movies like Along Came Polly. He was truly one of the best of his generation. RIP

Yea especially fucking HEROIN.
But fuck it, guys. No sympathy cause they're illegal drugs.....
They might do some fancy editing work with doubles if they have enough material. Or if that's not an option they might be able to get away with rewriting the script, giving his stuff to other characters.

Love PSH but I understand people's reaction to him ODing. He's a big boy and if he wanted to kill himself with drugs its not like he didn't have other options.

As for d-bags on the internet: Ended a relationship with a longtime friend(we had barely seen each other in recent years) after Whitney Houston died. Dude put up a FB post about he was sick of hearing about her (it had been a day since she died) and that her death was to be expected given her past. I pointed out his own father had died from a drug addiction(cigarettes, he claims his dad smoked 2 packs a day and came down with lung cancer...but later refuted what he had told me earlier that it was lung cancer). He didn't like that comparison when I brought that up. Dumb assholes like to judge from their computers while overlooking their own shit. Told him to have empathy and that he said he does(which he doesn't given his comments on Whitney) and said he learned empathy from his father. His father once told me we should solve the Middle East situation by nuking it.
I haven't seen any of his movies but wish his family and fans my heartfelt condolences.
