Thanks to the extremely boring, one-sided Super Bowl, and the lack of a decent halftime show, all the newspapers and TWITTER have been able to do is carry on about the death of portly Philip Seymour Hoffman, now elevated to "one of the greatest actors of our time."
Our time is pretty lousy. Anybody out there actually WATCH a Philip Seymour Hoffman film? I did see "Doubt" and I did see "Capote" and I doubt if anyone out there owns copies on DVD. They were good dramas, but not very pleasant. And as one writer actually noted, Mr. Hoffman was an unlikely "star," since he was flabby, chunky, somewhat porcine of face, and had seriously wimpy limp blond hair.
As usual, the best way of paying tribute to the poor bastard (make that rich bastard, since he was living in a $10,000 a month rented apartment), was to go on TWITTER and TWEET.
Really, is there anything more pathetic than using under 144 characters to remark on somebody who has overdosed and left 3 kids without a father? Not to mention leaving "fans" without another 10 years of movies they probably weren't going to go see? Oh, except maybe the fucking "Hunger Games" endless series of garbage...
But there they were, the famous and the famous-for-being-asswipes, all chucking their lame responses onto Twitter. "Shame." "Sad to hear about Philip Seymour Hoffman." "My heart goes out to his kids." And, of course, the biggest little TWEET of them all: "RIP."
Among the inter-changeable male stars out there, who galoot around with supermodels, go shirtless, and always seem to have a week's worth of fashion-stubble, some asshole named Jared Padalecki mentioned that Hoffman's overdose death was "Stupid."
It was, wasn't it? You get yourself into therapy. You go to a rehab center as many times as you need to. You take responsibility for being a parent. You find something other than fucking HEROIN as your drug of choice...especially shit you buy on the street from idiots who can cut it with all kinds of lethal junk.
Well, poor Jared had to remove his TWEET because various bird brains thought he was insensitive.
INSENSITIVE? Some vain, obnoxious, pretty-boy male celebrity who never made a movie worth watching? What ELSE would you expect?
Jared spits on a sad-faced blubbery Oscar-winner who is ten times the actor that he is?
How about giving him points for being a realist? What Hoffman did was both sad AND Stupid.
That's a million people who are either on Molly or cough syrup or inhaling vapor off deodorant cans...or are STUPID.
