We Will Not See More Hoffman

[Kaos]

I have read the books but haven't watched the movies out of fear they won't follow the book and fudge it all up for me.  I was told that wasn't the case and that I needed to watch them.  Now with reading that first paragraph I don't know.  "Modest rewriting".......does that mean it know won't follow the book?

The movies are epically bad.  Absolutely terrible. Simplistic. Neutered. And Kat-tits is cringingly badly acted.  Well, all of it is terribly, terribly acted -- trite, clichéd, hackneyed, emotionless, flat, dismal.  It's pablum with a "message."  It's like a really bad Twilight with a bow instead of fangs.

The movies squander a butt-load of decent talent.  Woody Harrelson looking for all the world like he wants to kill his agent for getting him into this morass, Elizabeth Banks who is normally hot but makes some terrible career choices (seen Meet Dave? or Zack and Miri?), Stanley Tucci, Prince wannabe Lenny Kravitz, a slumming Donald Sutherland and the aforementioned Hoffman.

The only one that has any screen presence that doesn't involve a Cat In the Hat hair nightmare is Jena Malone and even she is forced to recite some of the most eye-roll worthy dialogue any human could imagine.

The movies are just bad, bad, bad.

I'll place my wager on alcohol, which he continued to be addicted to.

They fight just like "real" people!

I felt the same way about him being a selfish thoughtless bastard....but then I remembered this.



And I'm sad that there won't be any more performances like that.

Zack and Miri was numbingly horrible.  I felt shame for all those associated with that rolling turd.

Yep.  Still wrong.

And he (or hiis character) coined the term "sharted".

And he (or hiis character) coined the term "sharted".

My wife asked me who the dead actor everybody was talking about was and I told her, "He's the guy who sharted in that Ben Stiller and Jennifer Anniston movie." and she immediately got it.

[Kaos]

Yep.  Still wrong.

Any seeds of doubt you may have planted about my discernment are now black and rotted and will never sprout, much less flower. 

This is a painted dog turd masquerading as a movie.  It has zero redeeming qualities.  It's scrapyard goo.

Was about to say the same thing. Started with alcohol and then went onto "Anything I could get my hands on... " - I believe were his words. An addict is going to find something. Somewhere. Pot being legal or not.
