Texas Travesty

Since 1997

Op-ed: Timothée Chalamet was such a good actor he kind of made me wanna try heroin

May 8, 2019 by Texas Travesty

So, I’m at home sitting on the couch with my feet tucked under my significant other’s thigh, getting ready to enjoy the latest Chala-masterpiece, Beautiful Boy. If you’re not familiar, the film is about Timothée, and he does a lot of drugs, and it features Steve Carell, trying to get him off drugs. But every time Timmy-boy shoots up some black tar H, he’s nothing but compelling, and it just makes me want to ride the ice-train with him. Seriously, this movie should be played with a warning beforehand that says “Warning, scenes with drugs use are incredibly tempting, this is acting.” I mean, usually with a drug film I have a certain level of separation and restraint, but when I see that Chalamet jawline I just surrender. By the end of the movie, my partner and I had scored some smack from this homeless child on GoPuff. I was seriously about to shoot up until the credits started rolling and I was like ‘You know what, this is just movie-magic’ and put the needle down. Still, this should serve as a cautionary tale. Never have I been this deeply hooked by a performance, but then again, that’s the Chala-master. Anyways, go see Beautiful Boy, I’d give it a solid B+.
