We saw The Savages the other night and Charlie Wilson's War recently, and both just added fuel to the fire that is my love for Philip Seymour Hoffman. The Savages also happens to costar my favorite contemporary actress, Laura Linney. Both of these films are very much worth checking out. Each showcases a different aspect of PSH's range. The Savages is a more subtle role, while his character in Charlie Wilson's War is a loud mouth and pretty much a badass.He always gives such a great performances, from the creepy to the completely endearing. My favorite of his roles: Phil in Magnolia, Lester Bangs in Almost Famous, Gust in Charlie Wilson's War, and Sandy in Along Came Polly (THE reason to see this movie).
I don't love him quite enough to buy this painting though.

I had a hard time not calling him "Scotty" for years (Boogie Nights role); I can still hardly see him without thinking of his sweating and holding the microphone in the first Dirk Diggler porn scene. The first time I noticed how great he was as an actor though was in The Talented Mr Ripley.
Creepy painting, btw.
i'm assuming andy wrote this post originally, and don't lie, you would totally buy that painting...
