This was totally out of the blue! One of my favorite actors - not someone with amazing chops but he had a unique presence that will never be seen again.
Uhh... what?Quoting Yxklyx (view post)
He was this generation's Humphrey Bogart. He will be very sadly missed.Quoting Boner M (view post)
Huh... What?Quoting Yxklyx (view post)
He wasn't this generation's anything. He was a genius actor with mad chops.

Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
Sorry about bring this back up - I'm really really sad to see him go as he was one of my favorite actors - but I always found his characters/acting to be very similar from film to film (i.e I didn't see much range in his performances so it seemed like he was just playing himself). Whenever he appeared I would mentally note - there's Hoffman. His personal presence eclipsed any character he was portraying - much like Bogart. That's what I meant in my original comment.
On a whim, decided to seek out the "Pig Fuck!" confrontation from The Master and the pastor's speech at the funeral in Synecdoche, New York and both became even more unexpectedly haunting as I realized Christopher Evan Welch is the one acting opposite to Hoffman in both. Welch having passed away only two months before him.
Last 11 things I really enjoyed:
Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
Safe (Haynes, 1995)
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
Diva (Beineix, 1981)
Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)
I understand, I'm just having a hard time conjuring an actor to whom that description applies less than PSH. The reality is just the polar opposite of what you're saying.Quoting Yxklyx (view post)
