so one day hugh jackman was getting pizza at the slice joint across the street from my work. paparazzi were mobbing him and followed him down the street. a crowd assembled to watch him and people called out his name. i was like "who cares?"
the next day I saw phillip seymour hoffman walking down the street. nobody even turned around to do the "hey was that the dude from capote?" and I was inside my work going "OH MAN IT'S PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN! I LOVE HIM"
That would be me too.
It is crazy how little recognition he gets. He is one of the best actors working in Hollywood today.

That's both an awesome and terrible story at the same time.
Awesome because PSH.
Terrible because you were the only one who got excited over PSH.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
this is probably self indulgent patting my own back but i think i'm really good at articulating my hate.
I worry that society has really polarized everything, and the only way that I can express my likes and dislikes is by apotheosizing the things I love and demonizing the things I hate, and can only offer up blase and detached disinterest for anything that finds itself between the two.
I think if you've ever watched an action, horror, or any kind of violent movie and enjoyed it and then watched funny games and got disgusted and said it was stupid and pointless
then I think funny games succeeded perfectly and did what it was trying to do brilliantly
PSH bugs me. Like, its probably because he plays characters that bug the fuck out of me very well, but, its ended up transferring the bugging-ness to him.
It's like William H. Macy. I can hardly watch a movie he is in because he always plays the same type of obnoxious character and does it so well.

I sympathize with this feeling and I try to tone down my urge to articulate my tastes in extremes.
Paprika and Eternal Sunshine are still masterpieces and Memento is still total crap, though.

I loathed it for its meta/breaking the fourth wall bullshit. Naomi Watts is terrible in almost everything she's in. I hate that kind of attitude from the film maker, "i'm not actually showing kids getting shot so it's a commentary on movie violence and not also an exploitation of that!"
also, they killed a dog. That honestly bugs me way more than seeing violence against children in movies. Like, in Signs, those assholes just left their dogs out to die. Fuck that.
Any violence against animals upsets me. Or rather, all violence against innocents. And I guess I consider nature innocent by ... well by nature.

people say PSH is my celebrity look alike but that makes me sad as much as I like the guy
I see it, but you're a much more handsome version of him.
I get leonardo dicaprio, which I assume means a poor man's leo -- which I totally take as a compliment. I also get Macauly Caulkin (sp?) which I hope means "you look like a normal person version of him."
Preach says I look like a young willm dafoe, which is funny because I was walking down the street the other day with some friends, made eye contact with him, and he totally stared at me and was like "OH SHIT SKYNET IS COMING FOR ME!"

Have you ever seen Spartan? That has Macy in a more subdued role.

I don't watch horror, thriller and action movies for the visceral depiction of violence. I know people who do, but I look away when there's any kind of realistic-ish violence.
I am a man, so I get kind of a kick of displays of strength, marksmanship etc, but I get repulsed when it goes into details.
I just read that apparently Rhianne hit Chris Brown first.
Can I get a confirm/deny.
Because I don't recall hearing that once at the time.
Lucas put it in the special edition. The fans were pissed.

PSH is stellar in Synecdoche, NY. The movie itself is one of my favorites, even though it is kind of a failure because Charlie Kaufman bit off more than he could chew for his directorial debut.

Most if not all of the violence in Funny Games is implied, which makes it even more interesting that it gets such a visceral reaction.

I didn't see why critics gave high praise to Precious. It was an hour of solid abuse against a teen girl.
I guess the next Oscar winning movie will be a slavemaster beating a slave for an hour and a half. "It's so bold and horrifying but it's a story that must be told. Two thumbs up!"

that was one of the points the movie was making. murder is fun when it's a headshot with no blood
being savegely beaten to death with a golf club isn't, but they're both murder. It's just one is glossed over and packaged and the other isn't.

i do not like my celebrity look alike comparisons, aside from Liev Schreiber.
meaning i don't like my looks being compared to them, not necessarily that i hate the actual celebrity.
I don't think I've gotten a lot of celebrity comparisons, although a co-worker once said that my hair looked particlarly kevin sorbo-like that day. I was flattered.

oh yeah if you had the slicked back hair (inception or aviator) and round sunglasses that would be uncanny
For some reason having seen both of them after the incident I don't think the provoking strike (if there was one) warranted the ending strikes.
Oh I'm not defending him, that clearly wasn't anything approaching self defence. I just find it interesting that I don't recall the media narrative at the time mentioning it once.

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Is that the movie where two twenty somethings barge in on a family in their home, lock the doors, and beat them with golf clubs? Trash.

Maybe it's how you move or your posture or something because, from the pictures of yourself you've posted, I don't see it at all.

Nope, Desc attempted to scare The Brute with a scalpel. You're up.
