I loved this guy. How come he was so into drugs? He was kino in every role he played.
What are his best roles, /tv/? Probably The Master or something.
>>222935658Opioids make the bad feelings go away but like most drugs, just make you feel worse in the long run. Jazz musicians did a lot of smack because they thought it helped with creativity.
>>222935658You ever tied heroin?It's like touching the face of God.
>>222935658My favorite thing be did was Owning Mahowney and Money Ball.
I didn't know he was dead
>>222935658Depression>>222935754Died on a super bowl morning years ago.
Drugs are awesome
>>222935658if you watch interviews and shit you immediately can see the man was at least absolutely depressed
>>222935684>Jazz musicians did a lot of smack because they thought it helped with creativity.Indeed they 'thought' that but I've found basically without exception that every good or great artist is very sober minded
>>222935879That's a lot of good actors and I think it's because to be a good actor you have to expose yourself to all the tragedy and suffering of life and keep yourself open to examining it.
>>222935658I agree, and I miss him like crazy - or rather I miss all the kino he WOULD have made in the future, that we wont ever get now forever.>>222935713'Owning Mahowny' is by far my favourite PSH role and I wish more people knew about this underrated Canadikino:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeU7015Mw1wNot just a great PSH performance where this impossibly chameleonic bastard disappears into the role, but one of the most comfy films I've ever seen, and probably the best film about gambling addiction you could ever get.I'm something of a gambler myself and this is always in the back of my mind keeping me from getting into a situation I couldn't get out of. It's so easy to take the first step and the next thing you know you wake up and you're basically Bernie fucking Madoff.
>>222935671I dunno, but Love Liza was depressing as fuck.
How hard is it to just not do drugs? You get to live your dream of becoming an actor and get rich, and you can spend your money on all kinds of cool things, but nah, gotta go straight to things that will kill you.
>>222935658LET IT RAIN!
>>222935774>DepressionBoo-hoo, I'm talented, successful, and adored by millions of people.
>>222936381You get to a point where you're chasing higher highs, I guess. Maybe they feel invincible from all the wealth and fame.
>>222935658Look at him bro. He was born to be a loser completely regardless of any superficial success he might achieve. He had the loser essence.
>>222936381I think with actors you are required to not shut parts of yourself off.Meaning you're extra sensitive, emotions hit you harder and you can't regulate or we're not given the tools to do so.So what do you do if you are rich? Healthily deal with the pain or just fucking numb it all away because you're able to?I used to think it's really easy not to do drugs but that wasn't until I experienced heartache, rejection, love and longing Dreams and aspirations getting further out of reach.So imagine you're fucking PSH and you're essentially always going to be an unfuckable pasty ghost the no one could truly loveYou get high
>>222935658He was my casting choice for Sax Russell.https://www.kimstanleyrobinson.info/content/sax-russell
>>222936466Nah, he was an addict when he was a student actor - long before he was famous.
>>222936443You are incredibly stupid.
>>222935921retard
>>222936966You've probably never been a good actor or worked with good actors then or you'd "get it".
It's not his fault the Chinese decided to get revenge for opium by selling massive amounts of fent. He was a functional user, his dipshit dealer gave him shit that was way too strong, just like Prince.
>>222936997Mega retard
>>222937024How?
>>222937014He was sober for 20 years iirc, he relapsed after a back injury and they gave him opiods.
>>222935905kek fucking name 5 musicians
>>222935658>Be me>Live in New York>See Philip Seymour Hoffman sitting in a bar looking miserable after his girlfriend kicked him out>Strike up a conversation "Hey..you're that actor that was in Capote.">He looks up at me and manages a frail smile "yeah that's me.">Introduce myself>We talk for hours and hours>He eventually breaks down crying>I give him a hug>Invite him back to my home>We watch movies and talk about life>He thanks me for being his friend and saving him from potentially overdosing>Develop a life long friendship with Philip>We talk on the phone>We cook>We have BBQ's with our families>We drink>He invites me to his movie premiers>We make fun of Rotten Tomato film critics together>Eat pizza>Laugh and smile, life's good, world hasn't gone to shit>Then I wake up>It's dark in my room>Turn over to my night table and pour the remainder of my whiskey into a large cup>Glance at my Philip Seymour Hoffman poster on the wall>Down whiskey within seconds>Light cigarette>Here I amDon't know if I can go on anymore. Feels just like yesterday that he was here.

>>222936381>>222936466Opioids are the highest high you can get. Recovered heroin addicts often just straight up kill themselves years after quitting because life has nothing to offer them anymore.
>>222937095gaayyyy
>>222937233Gay is thinking you need drugs to be a good musician or artist
>>222937252nerd
>>222937095Now name 5 good ones retard
>>222935658i think The Master is his best but pic related is great too if you like miserably depressing movies, this one is slightly more fun because of the weird shit his character does, the music pulled me out of the movie because i love Jim O'Rourke and it was kinda distracting hearing his music in a movie
He started doing drugs before he hit it big. He was in rehab already at 22. He didn't get cast in his first TV role until he was like 24.Once you do certain drugs you're just fucked. There's literally nothing that can compare to a chemical compound that makes all your "feel good" receptors light up like a Christmas tree. After you take the first hit, your entire life is literally downhill from there, objectively, because you will never ever feel as good ever again. Never. Stick to weed, alcohol, psychedelics.
>>222935658He started taking drugs as a way to cope with people like you obsessing over him.
>>222937079Why didnt you save him?
>>222937626I gained 200 pounds drowning in knob creek, every day, for so many years. Why is it like this?
>>222936443Yes, THAT is the thing about depression, retard. The fact you can't feel good regardless of satisfaction.
>>222935658molested as a child
>>222935658>I loved this guy.lol fag
>>222936509>I think with actors you are required to not shut parts of yourself off.>Meaning you're extra sensitive, emotions hit you harder and you can't regulate or we're not given the tools to do so.I've dealt with fucking actors IRL all my life. While this might be superficially true in some way it's not like the rest of us don't have to deal with shit in equal amount. Some of us are not mentally stuck in the social ladder climbing game. Not being so self-absorbed and thinking about other shit makes us privy to existential horrors these fags dream not of. Yet we don't do drugs or kill ourselves over them.>So what do you do if you are rich? Healthily deal with the pain or just fucking numb it all away because you're able to?I've literally seen faggots start taking drugs, (legal or otherwise), over low-key everyday bad happenings us average fags deal with every dayeg. "My pet goldfish died, better take half a bottle of Zoloft™ to deal with muh depression".So they never actually deal with it, and then they have ANOTHER problem: The second they stop taking that shit they want to kill themselves. They never develop the mental muscle-building necessary to deal with what the rest of us call 'life'. I think that's one of the REAL reasons for the 'oh-so-sensitive' souls you're talking about above.>I used to think it's really easy not to do drugs but that wasn't until I experienced heartache, rejection, love and longing >Dreams and aspirations getting further out of reach.Who has it worse, the one who takes drugs to help deal with that shit, or the one who always dealt with it stone cold sober? That's no fucking picnic I can tell you. Not that anyone cares like they do about the daily melodrama of drug addicts.>So imagine you're fucking PSH and you're essentially always going to be an unfuckable pasty ghost the no one could truly love>You get highOr you're like that except not rich and famous and don't. Life on actual Hard Mode where you have to git gud.
>>222937626After I got my dick sucked while on heroin I realized I probably fried my dopamine receptor for good
>>222936466>>222937128>>222937626Relevant:https://youtu.be/LeU7015Mw1w?t=5944Nigger obviously gets it. Even if gambling addiction wasn't his actual thing he definitely get the 'addiction' part of that equation.
>>222937322Keep moving the goalposts faggot
>>222936381You run out of cool things. Therefore the secret is too always keep searching for cool things!
>>222938575I'm not even the same guy, you just listed a bunch of musicians who are pretty universally considered dogshit by more interesting musicians.
>>222935689I was an IV heroin user for a while (among various other things) and I stopped doing it because it was boring as fuck. Opioids are probably the most boring and dull class of drugs on Earth.Withdrawals were a bitch, I'll admit that.

>>222935658Asshole rich kid, grew up rich. That’s why he was typecast like that early on, that’s what he gave energetically at auditions because that’s who he was. People give him a lot more credit than he is due, you can see his fatal flaw is that he’s afraid people will see he’s just an entitled, spoiled rich kid from birth. He uses it so well in Doubt, because his own doubts ate him alive in life. That flaw shows in his acting, it’s like he’s desperately trying to run away from it. But that action also lends itself perfectly and naturally to chasing something too: the dragon. Dude was a queef with unshakable impostor syndrome, even at the “top” of a fake Hollywood system. And that’s why he killed himself.
>doing heroin>everWhy do retards fall for this
>>222935689>godThat's a faggy thing to believe in in the 21st century.
>>222941222Has to be that day when you hit rock bottom. It feels like one step up from killing yourself, honestly.
>>222936566No one is going to chase that link, nerd.
>>222935671he was fucking perfect as the big lebowski's majordome
>>222937488Hell yes! The office laughing scene is unforgettable. But I tried huffing gas and it's not for me.
>>222941250There isn't any despair that will drive you to inject heroin into your veins and ruin your life. I refuse to believe it.
>>222941307I think most people start out smoking it, which is more believable.
>>222937626PSH literally won at life, he became rich from his passion, achieving universal admiration and respect, yet it still didn’t compare to a dope hit
>>222935658Reminder to never trust former opiate addicts IRL. It permanently messes up their brain chemistry no matter how many years sober they are.
>>222941362LITERALLY!
>>222935671Happiness. It's what I imagine 75% of the posters here are like. The other 25% are indian or in a favela
>>222937068johnpaulgeorgeringospotemgottem
>>222935658He was into drugs because drugs are fun and people who believe in nothing and have weak morals will fall into self-destructive behaviour.
>>222941626>weak moralsThat would have nothing to do with taking drugs, faggot.
If he was still alive he'd be starring in Avenger part 56 as purple CGI alien nr 45 just to pay for the coke. Death was merciful.
>>222935671Synecdoche new york
>>222938480damnwhat now?
>>222940441Doesn't sound right. Maybe your heroin was mostly powdered milk? Opiate highs are intensely euphoric. I never understood the appeal of benzodiazapines. Every time I've taken them it is just like taking a strong antihystamine.
>>222941657Yes, it does, multifag. People with good morals don't break the law or engage in self-destructive drug habits.
>>222941663>starring in Avenger part 56 as purple CGI alien nr 45I just know he would have made it awesome

>>222935671the master and synecdoche are amazing. capote is also one of the best biopics because of him.
>>222936443>im retarded and dont know how depression works
>>222935905vidya and anime OSTs arent art, weebatron
>>222941307bro. human being commit suicide. why do you think you know what the deepest pits of despair is?
>>222941859Addiction is not a moral failing. >breaking the lawHow the fuck did 4chan start accumulating you prudish goody two shoes Rod Flanders types of faggots? Seriously. Who the fuck are you and where do you come from?
>>222942117Abusing drugs like opiates is self-destructive. Self-destructive behaviour is immoral because life is sacred. If you want a tutorial on the emptiness of the Baby Boomers' obsession with mindless hedonism and self-destruction, go watch Terry Gilliam's 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'.

>>222942165let he who is without sin cast the first stone. we stumble and fall and we pick back up the cross. drug addicts are not incapable of redemption, despite what the devil tells you, anon.
>>222942417Drug addicts and drug pushers need to be executed. Mao was right.
>>222942414what? can a recovering schizo translate what inspired this anons estrogenic freakout?
>>222942438>what? can a recovering schizo translate what inspired this anons estrogenic freakout?^Weaker grip strength than Polish women btw^
>>222942417I did not say drug addicts are beyond redemption. I said drug abuse is immoral.
>>222942552is it a moral failing for someone to abuse drugs to soothe their pain from being raped and abused as children or experiencing some other kind of major trauma? maybe, but its incredibly unhelpful language. imagine going up to a woman thats been raped and you say "well im sorry that happened to you but its actually very evil of you to be drinking so much alcohol."
>>222936509>So imagine you're fucking PSH and you're essentially always going to be an unfuckable pasty ghost the no one could truly loveThe fuck, is this projection or something? He had at least one kid I can think of and I'd be shocked if he ever had trouble getting laid since he could wander into any club and mog the entire room just by being Phillip Seymour Hoffman
>>222942595>imagine going up to a woman thats been raped and you say "well im sorry that happened to you but its actually very evil of you to be drinking so much alcohol."Yes. Also I wouldn't be sorry, stupid bitch should've carried a gun. Falling for libshit victimization nonsense is your fault, not mine.
>>222942595"unhelpful language" Mush brained libs don't understand the difference between morals and etiquette.
>>222937626I guess. I haven't done H but I had that feeling in a K hole once. Technically you're right that it was the most concentrated, pure pleasure I've felt, and probably will ever feel since I'm kind of old and drugs make me feel sick now, but there's still something to be said for the more measured happy moments in everyday life. When I have a great mountain bike ride in some beautiful woods and come home and hang out with my dog, I'm not thinking "gee I wish I was getting my neurons chemically blasted with reward signals right now". It's like a nice complex wine vs. a spoonful of sugar, I dunno.
>>222935658He was an actor, they're all on drugs to suppress the thoughts of either their own childhood sexual abuse or the witnessed sexual abuse of others.
>>222935658I realize it was a big loss, but I fucking HATED him in pretty much every movie he showed up. Dude had this was of speaking that made it sound like he was emulating a teenager that wanted to leave whatever room he was in, or as if he had just woken up.
>>222941820Maybe your benzos were mostly powdered milk? Benzo highs are intensely soothing.
>>222935689Never tried heroin but did do pain pills on occasion but they never really appealed to me much granted I never really went more than 30 or 40mg of vicodin or percs at a time. Meth however. Only did it a few times but that first time was nuts. The feeling that coursed throughout my body with that first hit was what I imagine it felt like when Thanos put that final stone in the infinity gauntlet. It was like I was granted infinite energy, that I could finally do all the things I always wanted to do. I totally get why some people get hopelessly hooked on it.
>>222935921Nah, most actors are empty vessels with no feelings or personality of their own.
