I'm gonna take you to task on this one.

First of all, before he did Batman Forever I thought of Val Kilmer as, bar-none, the best in the business. I still think that his performances in The Doors and Tombstone rank among the best I've ever seen.

Val has gone to crap and been usurped by Johnny Depp in my book as the best young actor around. That's irrelevant... He was never that well-known and remains not all that well-known.

Besides, I hate watching Philip Seymour Hoffman.
