    Philip Seymour Hoffman is Dead.

    What the fuck?
    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    The last book I read was...
    The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    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.

    He was this generation's Humphrey Bogart. He will be very sadly missed.

    Huh... What?

    He wasn't this generation's anything. He was a genius actor with mad chops.

    You don't know that.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    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.
