I get so sad whenever I hear about Philip Seymour Hoffman, what a talent

I think he made the right choice turning it down too, he played so many great parts while the show was airing

[lovepollution]

He's one of those celebrity deaths I'll never be over. I was always so excited to see him in any role he took. :(

I remember when he died, my mom was like, "I can't believe he robbed us of his talent!"

I mean I think his kids may have a right to feel more cheated by this but okay.

Also a weird way to view addiction, as though he was like, "Might fuck around and OD for fun."

I'm doing my 800th rewatch and last night was Scotts Tots, oooof lmao fuck

[syzygy09]

I can't watch that episode. It makes me feel so uncomfortable.

Same, I always skip that one and Prince Family Paper

[bellapisces]

Between Michael and Dwight ruining a humble family-owned business and the rest of the staff spending the workday debating if Hillary Swank was hot, Prince Family Paper was awful.

I would have loved Thomas Lennon as Toby. I think he would play well against Carell.
