It was well-written but I had the opposite reaction to PSH: ten people will see that someone who had everything going for him overdosed, so what chance do they have. But I hope he is right.

GREAT movie! Philip Baker Hall, John C. Reilly, and Philip Seymour Hoffman as the “young craps player” who goads P. B. Hall into going for “Hard Eight!”

Good performances by Gwyneth Paltrow and Samuel L. Jackson as well! (Wonder why Gwyneth didn’t use a middle name or initial? Everyone else did!)

Check it out!

RIP Philip!

I did check Hard Eight out - watched it tonight. Nice little Vegas noir, with a quiet air of menace and an interplay of darkness and light that was very effective. I liked it. PSH had a small role but did well with it.

Supposedly his heroin dealer was friendly with a lot of celebs:

Hoffman’s alleged heroin dealer ‘partied with other stars’

The suspected drug dealer who allegedly sold heroin to Philip Seymour Hoffman also shot smack in his apartment with late New York artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, a new report claims.

Basquiat, who died in 1988 of a heroin overdose, and jazz musician Robert Vineberg “used A LOT of heroin during the 80s” in Vineberg’s Manhattan apartment, TMZ.com reported, noting that the Basquiat “injected the heroin with a needle.”

I always found movies he was in hard to watch because he gave off a bit of a creepy vibe…

I thought that was a huge part of exactly why he was so memorable in Big Lebowski and Boogie Nights. His character in each one was supposed to be slimy, creepy, unlikeable … in a way that was supposed to be hard to define or quite put your finger on the exact reasons for feeling.
