Of all of the things Ive read about Philip Seymour Hoffmans death - TopicsExpress



          

Of all of the things Ive read about Philip Seymour Hoffmans death (of his life I have read many wonderful things), this is my favorite. If itd been the sacrifice of Miley Cyrus or Justin Bieber, that we are invited to anticipate daily, we could delight in the Faustian justice of the righteous dispatch of a fast-living, sequin-spattered denizen of eMpTyV. We are tacitly instructed to await their demise with necrophilic sanctimony. When the end comes, they screech on Fox and TMZ, it will be deserved. The Mail provokes indignation, luridly baiting us with the sidebar that scrolls from the headline down to hell. But Philip Seymour Hoffman? A middle-aged man, a credible and decorated actor, the industrious and unglamorous artisan of Broadway and serious cinema? The disease of addiction recognises none of these distinctions. theguardian/commentisfree/2014/feb/06/russell-brand-philip-seymour-hoffman-drug-laws
