419554, Fuck it, I hate Phillip Seymour Hoffman! Posted by iboycottedimdb, Wed Dec-10-08 03:30 PM I'm listening to 'Fresh Air' right now, and he's flat out annoying! I can't stand his voice, I can't stand him wheezing into the mic when Terri asks questions, and he's really damn dull. And now that I think of it, all of his characters come off as smug assholes. Bah humbug! (end of rant) ************************************** "I'm sick of followin' my dreams.

419831, ^^^perfect reply Posted by dunk, Thu Dec-11-08 02:19 PM
419561, Funny, since he's one of the best actors working today. Posted by Frank Longo, Wed Dec-10-08 04:32 PM I can't think of the last time I saw him in a film where he wasn't outstanding. He even managed to make me laugh a couple times when he was in Along Came Polly, an aggressively unfunny movie. Seriously, when was the last time he phoned in a performance? Patch Adams?
419589, PSH is Straight Money. Posted by WarriorPoet415, Wed Dec-10-08 06:03 PM I agree with you. One of the best actors today. And the OG poster isn't paying attention if they think all he does is smug asshole roles. He's good at smug assholes (Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, Talented Mr. Ripley) but he pulls off a range of roles almost effortlessly (Punch Drunk Love, Next Stop Wonderland, Charlie Wilson's War, 25th Hour) ______________________________________________________________________________ "There's a fine line between persistence and foolishness..." -unknown "To Each His Reach" -George Clinton
419590, PDL was another smug asshole, though. Posted by The European Miracle, Wed Dec-10-08 06:03 PM
419595, His role in "Before the Devil Knows Your Dead" went beyond Posted by mrhood75, Wed Dec-10-08 06:14 PM the smug asshole thing. Plus, he was a beast in "Capote."
419615, That 'Capote' performance made me wince. Posted by iboycottedimdb, Wed Dec-10-08 07:11 PM ************************************** "I'm sick of followin' my dreams.

419643, idiots confuse that movie with being bad because of him Posted by dgonsh, Wed Dec-10-08 08:21 PM when it was actually remarkable because of him. the movie is oozing with tension but is draggingly slow. i get that its slow. its hard to invest yourself in the movie if you know nothing/read nothing of capote. he was an absolute powerhouse in that role. oddly enough, i liked the other capote movie that came out more than PSH's. PSH just stole the show.
419726, And adults can disagree without referring to insults. Posted by iboycottedimdb, Thu Dec-11-08 08:02 AM ************************************** "I'm sick of followin' my dreams.

419956, ha. Posted by will_5198, Thu Dec-11-08 05:25 PM
419697, He deserved the Oscar that year. He was that good. Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Dec-11-08 12:29 AM AND it was a terrific movie.
419729, I'll give him Charlie Wilson's War, he was great in that. Posted by iboycottedimdb, Thu Dec-11-08 08:05 AM But then again, a tree stump is more interesting than Julia Roberts in any role. ************************************** "I'm sick of followin' my dreams.

419606, sorry, George, but you didn't invent that one... Posted by disco dj, Wed Dec-10-08 06:47 PM I was hearing that one LONG before you guys said it... and for what it's worth, I think you shoulda tried just a little harder to get at Marisa Tomei... I'm just sayin'.
419609, I feel actual physiological stress... Posted by stylez dainty, Wed Dec-10-08 06:52 PM when I think about George's Marissa Tomei conundrum.
419611, that could've redeemed him as a human being... Posted by disco dj, Wed Dec-10-08 06:59 PM
419612, he pulled some pretty good ones in his day regardless Posted by Mynoriti, Wed Dec-10-08 07:01 PM show me another fat, stocky, bald, broke guy with low self esteem who's done as well as george costanza?
419613, Homer Jay Simpson. Posted by disco dj, Wed Dec-10-08 07:09 PM >show me another fat, stocky, bald, broke guy with low self >esteem who's done as well as george costanza? -Astronaut -Grammy Award Winner -Manage of a successful Country Artist -automotive designer -Beer Baron -Ranking Law Enforcement Officer -Monorail Driver -Entrepeneur is that enough for ya?
419936, I think he was talking women, in which case Homer has Marge & Lurleen Posted by Bombastic, Thu Dec-11-08 05:00 PM I'm rolling with George on that one.
419945, true. but he DID marry that trashy chick in Vegas that one time... Posted by disco dj, Thu Dec-11-08 05:14 PM .
420095, Hey, don't forget Mindy Simmons... Posted by Mole, Fri Dec-12-08 03:00 AM ... voiced by Michelle Pfeiffer. She liked donuts, too. Donuts.

419610, Oh yeah disco dj? Posted by Mynoriti, Wed Dec-10-08 06:54 PM Well the Jerk Store called They're running out of you
420515, Speaking of Marisa Tomei...(in a PSH thread) Posted by The Analyst, Sun Dec-14-08 12:45 PM One of the most disturbing shots I've seen in a movie was PSH's enormous gut engulfing Maria Tomei's ass as he hit it from the back in the opening scene of Before The Devil Knows You're Dead.
419607, The best thing about this alias is it's simple effectiveness Posted by mrhood75, Wed Dec-10-08 06:49 PM
419893, he ethered me in The Wrestler post. i'm still recovering. Posted by FortifiedLive, Thu Dec-11-08 03:56 PM
419604, RE: Fuck it, I hate Phillip Seymour Hoffman! Posted by Arch Stanton, Wed Dec-10-08 06:42 PM Ok, I think you need to step back and stop posting for a while because you clearly need to sort this out. He is so talented that he could make a movie about scrubbing toilets interesting.
420110, That ain't gonna happen. Posted by iboycottedimdb, Fri Dec-12-08 08:02 AM ************************************** "I'm sick of followin' my dreams.

419619, You must be Jack Black... Posted by BigWorm, Wed Dec-10-08 07:25 PM
419727, And I was a more interesting interview! Posted by iboycottedimdb, Thu Dec-11-08 08:03 AM ************************************** "I'm sick of followin' my dreams.

419654, Ok he was MAD annoying in that interview Posted by spades, Wed Dec-10-08 09:44 PM But he's a GREAT actor
420375, He's a good actor, but I still hate him. Posted by iboycottedimdb, Sat Dec-13-08 10:35 AM ************************************** "I'm sick of followin' my dreams.

419717, damn really? he's currently my favorite actor Posted by jasonprague, Thu Dec-11-08 03:34 AM he's just been slaughtering every role he's had. PEACE
419740, I heard it yesterday in the car and yeah, he came off as a douche Posted by B9, Thu Dec-11-08 09:12 AM The whole "how could I not know?" bit about his character's actions in Doubt was really a-holeish, but at the same time, alot of studious method actors come off as pricks when they talk about acting because of how serious they have to take themselves. The only studious actor that I've heard talk about the process that manages not to come as a prick is DDL, and that's just likely because he has little doubt in himself and he's irish. And I don't think PSL was a prick in Charlie Wilson's War or Magnolia.
419830, I agree with you.

419937, ^^^Good One Posted by Bombastic, Thu Dec-11-08 05:02 PM .
419742, i just hate him for bangin tomei doggy in the beginning of "if the devil knows..." Posted by rjc27, Thu Dec-11-08 09:24 AM http://sayitwitme.blogspot.com/ www.myspace.com/spathegod
419832, ^^^ the only reason to hate on him Posted by dunk, Thu Dec-11-08 02:21 PM
419867, I don't get the love for Tomei Posted by 13Rose, Thu Dec-11-08 02:51 PM she's cute but I saw her a bike shop in the city and she was just...cute. Nothing more. Maybe it's the voice?
419897, childhood dreams. they're hard to let go. lol. Posted by FortifiedLive, Thu Dec-11-08 03:57 PM
420037, I still hope some day... Posted by dao_rida, Thu Dec-11-08 09:29 PM She says, "Oh gawwwdd, you're such a smoooooth tawkerr!" to me at some point. And I even think my wife would be cool with it.
419899, Have you seen The Wrestler? Posted by jigga, Thu Dec-11-08 04:01 PM

419948, you said she was 'cute' twice in the same sentence. Do the math... Posted by disco dj, Thu Dec-11-08 05:15 PM that's double cute.
419954, ^^^Never saw "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead* Posted by dunk, Thu Dec-11-08 05:24 PM or various other movies when she's nude and drop dead sexy
420042, Cute and seems likable Posted by SoulHonky, Thu Dec-11-08 09:40 PM And getting nekkid in movies also helps. She isn't someone that would stop traffic but her roles make her more attractive. She fucks Joe Pesci and Philip Seymour Hoffman, who doesn't have a chance with her?!

419833, me too but he is a great actor Posted by walihorse, Thu Dec-11-08 02:22 PM but i don't like him for some reason, like at all
420198, Can you imagine spending an evening w/him? Posted by iboycottedimdb, Fri Dec-12-08 01:47 PM I'd be calling it a night @4:00 PM ************************************** "I'm sick of followin' my dreams.

419931, I hope you aren't basing most of your opinion on his interview... Posted by DawgEatah, Thu Dec-11-08 04:41 PM ... cuz if you wanna base opinions on actors by their real life personalities, I'm gonna tell you know. 99% of all actors are pricks. Real self-absorbed, kinda not completely right in the head cuz they play pretend for a living, treated like helpless toddlers, assholes.

420201, he wasn't too bad on Daily Show last night Posted by THRILLHOUSE, Fri Dec-12-08 01:56 PM but I could see him coming off as a bit of a douche on NPR. But I don't care, he is one of the best actors going right now so I don't care how he comes across off the screen. Tom Cruise is a giant douche but I still enjoy his movies.
420206, PSH is a douche. Tommy Boy is a NUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by iboycottedimdb, Fri Dec-12-08 02:13 PM I'd take Mapother on in an interview, just to push his buttons. ************************************** "I'm sick of followin' my dreams.

420247, I note absolutely zero legit critique of his work Posted by mcdeezjawns, Fri Dec-12-08 03:27 PM you don't like his voice on the radio you don't like his wheezing and you don't like the characters that others have created that he's played Got it
420250, Yup, that's it. No go 'way. Posted by iboycottedimdb, Fri Dec-12-08 03:30 PM ************************************** "I'm sick of followin' my dreams.

420544, Congrats Posted by mcdeezjawns, Sun Dec-14-08 06:17 PM and thank you for confirming my suspicions
420548, He killed it in Boogie Nights. Posted by Anfernee, Sun Dec-14-08 06:58 PM As the dude with the gay man-crush on Dirk Diggler. The only other one I liked him in was 25th Hour. Dude was great in that too. I wouldn't say hate, but I found Capote annoying though.
