Fuck. I can't believe it. I just found out.

He was one of my honest to God favourites.

Looking at his photographs, you could see it in his face.

The woman problems, the drug habit, and the purely sad
gesture in his eyes.

He was a creative genius, the most talented of his kind in
his generation.

His work conveyed emotion, purity, and beauty like nobody
else in the world could achieve.

Inside of his soul he was soft and fragile.

As graceful as a ballerina.

When he looked in the mirror, he saw a narcissist.

Inside of his heart was a world of shame.

It was easy to form shallow relationships with people that
he barely knew.

When admiration and adulation were available, he turned on
the charm and readily accepted those gifts that were
precious to him.

His outer self was as hard as a diamond and as cold as the
arctic ocean.

He looked down on others as mere mortals.

All he wanted was to be loved by all.

His relationships were tortured and tragic.

And now he's gone forever.

Admired by all.

Revelling in attention like a pig in the mud.

He has left a great inheritance to all.

He has been redeemed and purified.

Now he is with God.

Pray for him.

Love him.

Lord please care for this special artist.

He wasn't perfect but he was beloved.

Amen.

I'm sorry you just found out.
It's a tragedy. But people die all the time.
I hope you find a healthy way to cope.
I love you all, and I miss this place, I want to come back.
Much love for everyone here. Stay safe brothers & sisters.
I'll be hiding in the shadows :)
Much loveeeeeeeee

-loveeee

I thought he was superb in The Talented Mr Ripley!

I think Happiness was the first time I really noticed him,
and it then took me a while to not identify him with that
character.

I have a real soft spot for his work in Magnolia - such a
soft, warm character, different to most of the roles he
ended up playing.

I certainly can't remember him ever being bad in anything.

Yes, he was so creepy in Happiness. Lara Flynn Boyle before
she got creepy.

Definitely Magnolia! I want to see that film again. Everyone
was great in that, even Tom Cruise! The frog deluge...

I remember seeing a making-of and both he and PTA seemed so
high on coke. The attitude, the constant sniffing. They
didn't have a cold, lol.

I didn't see There Will be Blood. I should, right?

Synecdoche, New York, my favorite movie of all time. He was
epic in it

Thanks for reminding me I have this movie ready to watch. I
didn't even know he was in it, I got it because of Kaufman.

Like others have mentioned, Happiness was the first
time I became aware of him, he was a fantastic actor -
Synecdoche, New York was a great film, really enjoyed
it!

If you consciously said was, I find it interesting.
(Not saying it's wrong)

Haha I'm sure it still is a great film, haven't seen it
since it came out though :)

The thing about the New York Scene is:

It's a tiny coterie of ashamed people trying to hide their
true selves.

They hide their shame from the world.

What they want is sex with women.

And stable relationships to boot.

They ought not be ashamed.

They hide in a cave with their false selves.

They act as if they are the best, superlative, numero uno,
the chosen.

But what kind of life is that?

Does retreating from the world solve their problems or make
them harder to solve?

All over the world there are lonely women with wet muffs.

Waiting for men to get off their fat arses and make
something good out of life.

As if retreating into a secret minority elitism will solve
their life's problems.

As if it would resolve the issues that they need to deal
with in their lives.

They've forgotten about their parents, neighbours, &
family.

They don't realise that if they all worked together, their
hearts would grow stronger.

Their talent would grow tall like an oak.

They could take on the whole world together if they wanted.

But they'd prefer to huddle in a cave, far away from the
sunlight.

That's the trouble with the New York scene.

I thought your post was going to be relevant and about
having to have two personalities when it comes to being
addicted to heroin.

Fuck off with your wet muffs.

recently saw Hoffman's last starring role in some Euro
conspiracy thriller the most wanted man or some shit. The
movie was pretty wack til the end when (SPOILERS FOR PPL WHO
WANT TO WATCH PSH EURO CONSPIRACY THRILLER LAST STARRING
ROLE) Hoffman's plan went all to shit and everything went
wrong and he was just standing going FUUUUUUUUCK in a euro
accent and then he drove off in a mega huff then he just got
out of the car and walked off into the distance while the
camera stayed in the car and you saw Philip disapearing up
the street in a mega rage. Maybe he went off to score some
smack too. Then well, that was the end of phil unfortunately
and the movie just went to black + roll titles . anyways I
know he still got bit parts in those hunger game things but
as a last starring role It was an awesome scene to end his
career with + made the movie seem a lot better than it was.

also I clicked this thread thinking it was the banksy one
and I was like OMG banksys dead + he was soft and fragile
inside ? who knew
