I remember getting high and watching the film, not the documentary, about him. I was initially rooting for him, but halfway through I was getting angry. I just kept thinking "WTF is wrong with you? You need help at every turn and then just keep turning everyone away." I finished the movie and figured he was depressed and suicidal, but I still didn't like him as a character.
