I was at a concert years ago, right before he won his Oscar, and a very young girl was pulled up on stage along with myself. We spent time on stage and back stage during the concert. After the show he talked with the few of us and we left, while the young teen stayed. That's when I knew he was gross.

I was a fan of the band and it totally slid past my radar Leto was in Fight Club or in TV during his teen years. I only knew him as one of the guys in the band. And then he was in some movie I happened to see and I was like, this guy is taking this acting thing pretty seriously for a singer. IMDB quickly educated me on his library of work.
Also, I think he has spiraled out into Hollywood stupid* with his ego these days. He needs to quit the acting thing and get back to a real job, aka the band lol
*Hollywood stupid: when the money and fame convinces you that you truly are a magic being sent to deliver art or whatever. Marlon Brando, Michael Jackson, etc.

The venue was small enough that the music and stage could still be seen from the top of my truck, so we didn't miss anything else really. Pretty sure one of the girls I was with ran up to him and hug jumped him. I am thankful for this post to bring back some good memories.

I think requiem was so effective because it showed the banality of addiction. Nothing super stylized. Just the hell of having your entire life revolve around feeding the addiction your brain places above all other things in life, and there’s not even a close second. Friends, family, partners, children, they are all far down the list when your brain is slamming you to feed the addiction.
