I watched that scene on youtube last night and proceeded to have a good long cry.

I think it was actually my Yearbook quote way back in Senior year of high school.
This, exactly this. Rape remains the only crime where what the victim was wearing is considered in whether or not the perpetrator actually committed a crime. That is how ridiculous rape prosecution is in this world.
Just wait until you finish season 4. I did that in July and I'm still fucked up.
That is totally what I was saying, how perceptive of you.
If we got sad about every single person that died we would be unable to function as a species. So yes, we choose to spend the grief we are able to share on those who had an effect on our lives. Usually, that means family and friends, but it also includes the artists that changed us. No life is more important than…
"You CANNOT make friends with the rock stars. That's what's important. If you're a rock journalist - first, you will never get paid much. But you will get free records from the record company. And they'll buy you drinks, you'll meet girls, they'll try to fly you places for free, offer you drugs… I know. It sounds…
His phone call with Will at the end of Almost Famous always stuck out to me. He just was Lester Bangs.
Fuck, he was even great in Moneyball. For all three scenes he was in.
Live is hard, and heroin is cheap. Addiction is a horrible thing, I doubt anyone who does heroin wants to, but it is much harder to stop taking heroin than it is to start.
"The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with someone else when we're uncool"
It always feels like that when the true greats pass, especially this young. They've already given so much to the world, but there is still so much more he could have given. I can't count the number of times I've thought "Hoffman would be excellent as ____". There are hundreds of roles I would have loved to see him…
He was in like two scenes of Almost Famous, but goddamn if his Lester Bangs isn't one of the most memorable things about that movie.
Example: Twister. That movie is horrible, but he was so fucking entertaining in that roll.
One of my favorite actors…I can't even believe this.
No no no no no no no no no no
I was just about to start working through his filmography (all I've seen is Annie Hall, and his two most recent films) and now I'm second guessing it. It is much harder to separate Woody from his work than it is to separate Polanski, because Allen starred in so many of his films. I can watch Chinatown and not think…
For me, it becomes different when you have sexual desire for those unwilling to consent, for those whose undeveloped brains will be permanently traumatized by your actions. If pedphiles do not act on their urges, I agree it is entirely unfair to call them inhuman monsters. If they do act on it, they're horrid humans…
That article was fucking brilliant.
Damn that pilot is fantastic. They did such a good job of setting up Street as just an all around damn good guy throughout the Pilot. Even though we barely know him at this point it still feels like a punch in the gut when he goes down. The football choreography was top notch in that scene too. Just seeing that…
