"Crazy part is i bet all the junkies in NYC are now looking for the same shit Hoffman died from.....thinking it's strong good H."
If you go on youtube and watch the episode of Drugs Inc.( from NatGeo) one of the junkies (I believe his name was Matthew) says this almost exactly. Maybe instead of calling their stuff things like 'da bomb' or superman, they can call their next batch 'Hoffman'.

Really sad stuff  . Incredible actor, no doubt one of the best of his generation. He was amazing in Capote, 25th Hour,T he Talented Mr. Ripley and as Giancarlo mentioned Almost Famous. For me he will always be remembered for his performances in Paul Thomas Anderson films, Boogie Nights,Magnolia,Punch Drunk Love and The Master. I don't have any interest in any celebrities personal lives, so i didn't have a clue that he was a junkie. I think he got out of rehab maybe last year. I remember reading that somewhere. Boogie Nights...lol. That scene was pretty funny. I also liked "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead". But he's been in many good movies over the years.

Same here, saw him with his kids at a film festival over the holidays in SOHO. Shame he went out like this, RIP.

Doing well, how you been pal? Hopefully you begin posting regularly again, if you have the time of course. Only time will tell. Pun intended lol

StLguy...in one of the articles it said they found packets of heroin stamped with "Ace of Spades".
Maybe instead of referring to him by his lengthy name we can just start calling him Motörhead

Same here, saw him with his kids at a film festival over the holidays in SOHO. Shame he went out like this, RIP. First of all, it's good to see you posting, Dap. I know your reasons for staying away, but you can still send a guy a pm once in awhile  . Now on to Hoffman. Do you remember my building on West 8th Street where I offered you the apartment awhile back? Now given the proximity of the building to Washington Square Park, and knowing the city as you do, it will come as no surprise for you to hear that I've seen Hoffman in the park with his son at least two or three times. Cute, happy kid with long shaggy hair, just like his father. So I feel terrible for the kids and for their mother. I really do. But it's just getting harder and harder for me to sympathize with Hollywood types who do this to themselves. Now addiction is an awful thing, but he had the money for the best rehabs available to man. On a snowy day like this there are about 400 people at Bellevue or Saint Barnabas waiting for a bed to detox in. And it's gonna be a painful wait for them. Not so for people like Hoffman and Whitney Houston. They didn't WANT to sober up. And now they're dead.

PB you still in NY or are you posting from the beach in Florida? Did someone put you up to that because of the snow?  Because we're leaving on the red-eye late tomorrow night (Mrs. Pizza can't fly during the day because she gets migraines). We're a bit late this year because we had a few things going on up here. But I hope to stay uninterrupted until at least Easter week this year. But I always say that, and something always brings me back at least once or twice  . PB you have buildings in Manhattan? Sweet!
Two in the Bronx, one in Astoria, and in the Village, just off MacDougal and West 8th Streets. That's where I offered our pal Dapper a unit. But he wasn't ready yet. Hopefully soon  . Do you have to deal with a lot of red tape and that section 8 stuff? It's not an issue in Greenwich Village today because the rents are so high (and so are my expenses, so don't go counting my money  ). But in Queens and the Bronx we literally have no choice. It's a necessary evil.
