Celebrity Casualties

[JK]

Rather than start a new topic every time someone keels over, maybe just the one would do.

Always sad when someone departs before it had to be their time, with Phillip Seymour Hoffman the latest casualty.

The bloke was a ripping actor, and he got to do the simulated biz with Marisa Tomei, so he was a lucky one too, for a time.

may have been a decent actor, but i have zero sympathy for actors that overdose themselves on heroin. especially when there is an outpouring of "grief" in the media, whilst noone bats an eyelid when a few hundred people die in a boat off of our shores.

[Ron Burgundy]

Found dead with a needle in his arm.
Didn't turn up to pick up his kids.

What a cockhead. Good actor, who cares.

[JK]

That's fair enough, I'm not about to buy into the debate of whether sympathy is warranted, that's a personal call.

"They're not literally his children. They're the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers - inner city children of promise but without the necessary means for a - necessary means for a higher education. So Mr Lebowski is committed to sending all of them to college."

A great actor, Gone too soon.
As for the way he died I've seen too many heroin overdoses to make a judgement call on that one.

[Q.]

Is this the place for Hollywood conspiracy theories?

[bennymacca]

i think everyone deserves sympathy, even heroin junkies, but there is, in my opinion, a disproportionate amount of sympathy given to people like hollywood actors, as opposed to other people, who should perhaps be highlighted in the media more

[The Sleeping Giant]

Tragic loss. Fantastic actor. I remember the first role I really took notice of him, Happiness, in which he played a pedophile who masturbated a lot. Was also brilliant in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. Very under rated film.

p. s. Plenty of boat people threads.

Vale Craig Lahiff.

Local director died at the weekend, aged 66.

Favourite PSH scene...

[woodublieve12]

a very selfish way to go... My sympathy and compassion goes to his kids and his wife! Very sad, that they will remember him this way.

Terrific actor, yes... He's a millionaire who can get the best treatment in the world...

[Johno6]

sympathies with his kids and wife etc
not with him

[scoob]

Great actor not the ideal way to check out but each to their own... but if we can make reference to the boat people, duromine use, the sacking of chuck and AFL reserves sides in this thread that would be great.

[Magpiespower]

Don't fall, posters!

[woodublieve12]

why we on a high horse???? And why should we feel sorry for him???

[westcoastpanther]

Just another dead junkie

[Pseudo]

Philip Who?

[Johno6]

massive **** lol at telling us to get of our high horse

I think you should have a good hard look at yourself


apparently he was a great actor, so **** what

[Johno6]

pretty sick of people defending the guy because he was their fav actor etc.

if he was a regular joe u never heard of till u heard he had died from an OD on the news you would be saying "another junkie dead"
coz u liked a couple of his movies you feel sorry for him etc, SMMFH

This is where you are wrong. It wouldn't have been reported on the news at all...
