Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Ethan Hawke, Brian Dennehey, Amy Adams and Ellen Burstyn were among the stars who paid their respects Friday at a private funeral for Philip Seymour Hoffman that combined sadness and humor to honor an actor widely considered among the best of his generation.

Well, he obviously wasn't the best at shootin' up a little horse was he. I'm thinkin' the "elites" were there hopin' the cops missed a few bags of H. Typical, let's honor some asshat who OD's on heroin while the abuse of one of afghanistans prime products is on the rise in suburbia. Nice. Way to go dumbass.

I don’t see why you can’t do both. Hoffman was a great actor, especially for his age. Doesn’t mean we don’t properly honor military people or condone heroine. Those of us who watch movies know that he was an exceptional talent.

[rktman]

I couldn’t place him at all until it was mentioned he played Plutarch in the Hunger Games. Other than that, I didn’t know who he was. I guess I don’t watch enough movies. LOL!

[bray]

He was most likely committing suicide.

Pray America is Waking up

This loser completely crapped on his “partner” and kids. I don’t care how good an actor he was.

Some nutcase goes and shoots up a theatre or a school and here they all come, shouting from the mountaintops for “gun control”

But as another of their own falls dead from drugs, nary a peep in favor of a war on drugs

[TADSLOS]

Shhh....(we’re winning the war on the Afghanistan poppy fields). /s

[nascarnation]

Well Baraq and Moosechelle weren’t at Sochi, so why didn’t they attend?

[a fool in paradise]

When opposite sex love interests are referred to as partner, I either think the journalist is trying to norm same sex couplings, discuss business arrangements, or downplaying non-marital status.

[wny]

He’s just another Hollywood junkie....

[a fool in paradise]

If there was needle control, this death need not have occurred.

But Hollyweird won’t do any viral videos for youtube, funnyordie, moveon, et al about the bad habits of heroin abuse.

Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Ethan Hawke, Brian Dennehey, Amy Adams and Ellen Burstyn

Outside of Amy Adams, who I like even though I don't know her politics, this crew of dips seem like a cast of Liberals' Who's Who.

[yarddog]

He was pretty good as Truman Capote.

That is the only thing I recall seeing him in except a movie about a movie being produced in a small New England town with a mill. Can’t remember much about it.

All the humanitarians come out to honor a drug addict, it wasn't his fault its a disease.

The same people who ridiculed Rush Limbaugh when he went through his problems.

[red-dawg]

I only have two questions:

If he had drank himself to death, would the NYC Cops have arrested a bunch of bartenders?

Were any of these people seen at Chris Kyle's Memorial service at Cowboys Stadium?
