Knuckledragger 3,816 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Wow, I'm shocked. I've been a fan of FSH since I saw Magnolia 15 or so years ago. 46 is way too young. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wmcmanus 951 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Shocking news. He was perfect as Brandt in The Big Lebowski. As Walter would say, "Good night, sweet Prince." Edited February 2, 2014 by Wmcmanus 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
luvdunhill 3,266 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Conductor Claudio Abbado, 80, passed away yesterday. I believe my favorite Mahler 2 recording was by him, with the CSO, from the late '80s. Sometimes I think the CSO made a mistake hiring Barenboim instead of Abbado, but I suppose Barenboim left some good influences also. RIP It relieved the world from hearing his horrible horrible piano performances (Barenboim) which was a good thing in my book Quote Link to post Share on other sites

n_maher 11,568 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Wow that sucks. Brilliant actor. This but also what a waste. I always have mixed feelings about overdose deaths, especially when it's someone who could have afforded any treatment he needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Voltron 25,075 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Agree with Jacob. With or without strong heroine an addiction like this does not involve choice. I obviously don't know the details but he was supposedly sober for 23 years when he went into rehab in 2012, and just recently went through rehab for snorting heroine. It's tragic and stupid but I don't think you can dismiss the struggle just because the guy could afford treatment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
n_maher 11,568 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I didn't feel like typing a novel so yes, it was an over-simplification of how I feel about the issue. I celebrate the fact that he got and stayed sober for those 23 years. I feel for his kids that at some point he made the now-fatal decision to do drugs again. So yes it's tragic that he passed regardless of the reason but the reason also gives me pause. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aura 8,294 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I see both sides and can't really debate. It's just such a shame for PSH, his family, and anyone who ever appreciated any of his work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
