He was always getting praises for his dramatic roles but he was underated in comedic roles. He was hilarious in Along Came Polly, Punch Drunk Love, and Flawless. So sad that he went out the way he did. Got to stay away from that .
Wow, both of these guys died.

A bit apathetic there. Everybody is dealt different cards.
Heroin junkie. Death suits him.
How sad. I'm actually feeling terrible for what we are going to miss from him. I can't even begin to try to figure which of his performances was my favorite. RIP PSH
A tragic loss to the world and a devastating loss to his children, wife, and family.
Was he working on any projects, or was he on a prolonged hiatus of some sort? You can't mess around with certain things unless you either have self-discipline, or a work schedule that allows/allocates times for you to smoke/snort/shoot whatever to your hearts content. 4 years ago I worked what was a Kelly-24 schedule. Basically, it was 24 hrs: on/off/on/off/on/4 days off/rinse-repeat. Four straight days off allows you play around with some strong , and Dilaudid was the sweetest goddamn feeling in the world. Had a friend of friend who was getting a steady supply of 4mg pills. You don't know true, unfettered bliss till you've felt that racing through your veins or blowing it straight to the dome--I promise you that. There was control though, because I know I had to feel clean for at least 36 hours (prior to returning from my 4-day to feel detox'd and with it, and I wasn't binging on it for 2.5 days straight either. Come home at the end of the 3rd 24, kick my feet up, e up, and watch sportscenter reruns from 8a-noon. There was structure and boundaries, and other than that I had a good diet and worked out regularly. Later on the supply ran out and literally nothing changed since I technically never had the "hook." Looking back, it was re ed--but hey, at least I never smoked crack or meth!, and I had no mistake sprog like certain other opiate-seeking posters here. I'd still dabble in yayo every now and then but I eat right and cheat maybe 3 times/month.
This is the truest cliche you'll ever hear: "Work hard, play hard." Never is that more evident than in a life of celebrity or luxury, where you have means and access coupled with high-stress/profile deadline assignments. To be fair, I don't think I could ever take massive amounts of blow and pills a la Jordan Belfort. Btw, anybody live through that era or know somebody who could handle actually handle that much blow and pills every night? Seems unfathomable to me, and I've seen some legends
Everybody needs their outlet, though...be it booze, coke, s, pills, gambling, religion, whatever. Some might just want a cat and a 6/10 gf to (you know, where she's passable/cute enough but not worth your full attention).
Whatever your poison, stay active and regimented--even moreso if you're getting into the heavy . Maybe PSH was idle for too long or worked too hard, but you can't beat up your body in multiple ways like he did (diet, opiates).
RIP
It's hard to watch Adam Sandler try to step outside himself, but that's just a matter of personal preference I guess.

Sure. Some people have it way harder than others. Make good choices. Despite your cir stances make good choices. You don't get two lives. You get this one and you are responsible, no matter how difficult, for the choices you make. It's not that I won't root for people to get better, but if you die from your decisions, especially one as stupid as drugs, I have a hard time feeling a ton of sympathy.
Apparently he just had two upcoming films screened at Sundance and he had about a week worth of filming left on the final two Hunger Games movies. It's my understanding that between film and stage he's been working pretty much nonstop since graduating NYU.
This dude had some acting range. I never felt like I was just watching PSH everytime on screen.
heroin ain't no joke because it really kills. Abusive lifestyle ain't only the problem of one person or two, but a national issue. Just because you do it to a less excessive degree it doesn't mean your lifestyle is absolutely right. People smoke cigarettes pack after pack, sometimes even weed, and drink liquor like water and get drunk as etc... I believe that everyone in the modern industrial world, if taking good care of himself/herself, can easily live past their 100th birthdays. But too many people would rather trade decades of lifetime for some more fun in their youth, they try every means to abuse their lives because they think "life is short".
Well it's technically not true. Genetics play a role in our lifespans regardless of how well we take care of our bodies. There are children in hospitals right now that did nothing wrong to their bodies and won't live to see tomorrow because of genetic anomalies. Then you have some fat ass like Hoffman who, though he was great at his job, was a pig obviously who felt it was worth it to risk death even though he has little ones and a family because boo ing hoo he has to make millions being a movie star.
him. Nobody mourns the local junkies that OD. So I don't give a about this guy who had the money and resourses to change his life.
Your local junkie friends are academy award winners?
Genetics play a significant role in our lifespans no doubt about it, but that's not an insurmountable obstacle imho. By "taking care of ourselves" I mean living a frugal celibate lifestyle, and that's the only possible way to achieve a long healthy life (even if not an eternal one). My dad has been an avid smoker since I knew him and he picked up the bad habit of alcohol abusing a few years ago, and he probably ed random es while being married to my mom, but Rogue is a good man who'll never follow that type, I'm the exact opposite in some way. I've never smoked and will never do it, and last time I drank some alcohol was like 3 years ago, on the so-called "last dinner" among our undergraduate classmates before graduation, and I haven't put even a drip of alcoholic drink in my mouth ever since. And I've vowed to be a lifelong celibate and have never touched even a hand of 's.
Parents can be terrible role models sometimes (typical boomers, tbh), but fortunately I'm aware of it and have chosen someone else's lifestyle to follow - Zhang Sanfeng, an honorable and well-respected Taoist in ancient China who lived through 3 dynasties for a total of more than 160 years. No one even know when/where he died, or if he ever died at all... maybe he's still living a reclusive frugal life somewhere in China, tbh.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhang_SanfengZhang Sanfeng was a legendary Chinese Taoist priest who is believed by some to have achieved immortality, said variously to date from either the late Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty or Ming Dynasty.
I guess we won't Seymour hoffman
RACK 'IM!!
I can relate to an abuser's desire for an escape, so I guess I always end up feeling for them because of it. Usually give them the benefit of the doubt, and figure things must be pretty screwed when heroin seems like the answer.
That being said, everything you're saying is right. There's selfishness in what transpired. He had kids and a family. Can't help be pissed off about that. There are better choices to be made. Can't argue that.
