Naïve Old Fart 9,504 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 It's just really not the type of film he should be remembered for. He was fine in MI: III, but has done much better stuff.My thoughts exactly. I think they mentioned MI III so that the average Joe wouldn't feel stupid. (The Master? Magnolia? Huh?) Also. it's his higest-grossing film, by far. Honestly, who in Out-In-The-Sticks, Idaho, has seen "The Master"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Hollywood ran on cocaine?Robert Downey Jr. was hooked on all three during his bad boy days from the 1980s to early 2000s. And he's been sober for over 10 years. It's sad that PSH wasn't able to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yeah, Hoffman would have been great as Iron Man in the eventual reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yeah, its a bloody shame.I've been seeing a lot of clips and bits of news of actors/directors paying tribute to Hoffman lately. In particular was a clip of a very somber Cate Blanchett, going to Hoffman's children with gifts. It was sad to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,647 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 If I remember correctly, he was clean for over 20, started using again about two years ago, did a stint in rehab sometime last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yes. He sobered up around the age of 22. The addiction kicked in again 2 or 3 years ago, and he went to rehab to try and stop it a couple of months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was his separation from his girlfriend that triggered his relapse a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lifelong thing - the temptation never passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You are right, but people and the law does make a very definite distinction between alcohol and most other drugs (apart from caffeine and nicotinea).It always seemed to be that alcohol, despite it being much much easier to obtain then hard drugs is a bit harder to get really seriously addicted to. I mean in becoming an alcoholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Well the few people I have seen take to drugs went from bad to worse in quite a short time.Also, alcohol you can enjoy in small measures. You know, having a beer or a glass of wine.Does a heroine addict shoot up a tiny dose, just to enhance dinner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
