I'd like every movie to have Jean Harlow and Joel McCrea in it.

>He did a pretty good Lester Bangs, too.<

My friend who was a late '70s CBGB habitue would disagree, as "Bangs was a much bigger asshole."

to be honest, i think he works as a character in Almost Famous more than if his assholeness was accencuated. he's an idealised figure in crowe's eyes, who remains pure and unsullied and heroic after the band let him down. it seems to suit crowe's soft-focus view of his world, and i like it for that (while having first hand experience that the rock world mostly is Not Like That).

Great actor. Unhappy irony: with Chris Farley gone, I heard a local DJ the other day say that PSH is the consensus choice to play Rob Ford if the mess here ever gets made into a film.

The WSJ is reporting that he's been found dead in his apt. :(

Crazy, there was a death hoax a couple weeks ago.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Sunday, 2 February 2014 18:27 (ten years ago) link

a couple DAYS ago I mean!!!

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Sunday, 2 February 2014 18:29 (ten years ago) link

Is this coming from any other news sources other than the WSJ?

Matt DC, Sunday, 2 February 2014 18:35 (ten years ago) link

For future reference, any link from mediamass is bullshit. It's a page view trap site. They recycle the same story and change the name as applicable.

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 2 February 2014 18:35 (ten years ago) link

NY Post reporting it.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 2 February 2014 18:35 (ten years ago) link

I would really like this to not be true.

i was gonna say, that's the exact same site that confused the day Paul Walker died

WSJ saying it too

Oh man. Love love love PSH. I even liked him in movies I didn't like. I know "what a waste" is a cliche thing to say about (apparent) drug deaths, but really. Talk about a guy who had decades of good work left to come. R.I.P.

RIP

Karl Malone, Sunday, 2 February 2014 18:42 (ten years ago) link

This is crazy! V bummed. RIP big guy

Always felt a little connected to him because he's just a few years older than me and grew up two suburbs away. Never met him or saw him at the grocery store or anything, but he was a local boy done good. Total bummer.

something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Sunday, 2 February 2014 18:46 (ten years ago) link

A lot of my friends have stories about running into him around Atlanta over the past couple years. Sad to say I'll never be able to have my own story like that. You were awesome, PSH.

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 2 February 2014 18:46 (ten years ago) link

awful. my dad's a huge fan; rare that we both like things. still hope it's a hoax.

Nope. Confirmations popping up all over the place.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 2 February 2014 18:50 (ten years ago) link

This is so so sad. He had three young children. He was a super talented motherfucker, someone I would watch in anything, ANYTHING.

you are fucking joking. what the hell.

Terrible. Always thought he was best in under the radar stuff like Owning Mahowny.

awful news

The first movie I noticed him in, and the first scene of his that lingered with me for a long, long time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTMYcSU_HCc

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 2 February 2014 18:55 (ten years ago) link

I thought about that scene and then thought about him in MI:3 and the talented mr ripley, polar opposite roles. Equally great in all of them and in everything in between.

christmas candy bar (al leong), Sunday, 2 February 2014 18:57 (ten years ago) link

Oh man. Love love love PSH. I even liked him in movies I didn't like.
me too. this hit me like a ton of bricks for some reason.

damn. <3 this dude

condo associations are people my friend (will), Sunday, 2 February 2014 18:58 (ten years ago) link

xp for clarity -- "for some reason" = i really liked his work and felt warmly toward him as a human being. RIP PSH, you were great.

we slowly invented brains (La Lechera), Sunday, 2 February 2014 18:59 (ten years ago) link

same Ned. that performance blew me away at the time because he was playing a type of dude i'd known before but never seen represented onscreen, let alone so perfectly. watching it again not that long ago i was struck by how amazingly thought out all his little gestures and shit were

Hungry4Ass, Sunday, 2 February 2014 19:00 (ten years ago) link

Rip

Mordy , Sunday, 2 February 2014 19:00 (ten years ago) link

yeah honestly i think most of my favorite PSH performances are ones where the movie wasn't that great but he was just fantastic in them anyway xp
