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

a couple DAYS ago I mean!!!

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304626804579358943360702878

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

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.

NY Post reporting it.

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

what the fuck.

WSJ saying it too

sad

oh already noted

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

ABC News

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

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.

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

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.

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

Rip

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

WSJ story now unavailable, which gave me faint hope it wasn't true, but the WSJ reporter is still tweeting details, so

Being updated I suspect. Too many other sources reporting it now.

CNN and NYT are reporting it.

he was even credible as art howe and that was a role he just had no business playing, on paper

re his embodiment of characters -- he always seemed like a very perceptive person, that's part of why i like him so much

it was really kinda shocking last year to read that he was going to rehab for heroin. a guy in his 40s, who had supposedly been clean for 20 years? was really hoping he was gonna be okay.

wow fuck this

he had the best line readings too. really deceptively low key but so idiosyncratic, kinda like jeff bridges

is his last movie really gonna be the hungry games?

yes otm

was at Sundance two weeks ago to promote a film there

it's a Le Carre adap

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1972571/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_4

one of my favorite Hoffman moments is in talented mr ripley where he's just bullying ripley by plunking on some piano keys.
