Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

i guess this is a case of planned insanity because i heard last year he was retiring from Hollywood and going into the music biz. Wow!

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

Woah. He's off the reservation.

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

He has always been eccentric but damn if he isn't a great actor. I hope he does whatever makes him happy.

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

He looks like a mix of the unibomber meets Grizzly Adams.

Sigh. I want clean cut Walk the Line Joaquin Phoenix back.

I have to give him props for being able to grow such a beastly beard.

BREAKING NEWS:
SAN DIEGO, CA: Oscar nominated actor turned rapper Joaquin Phoenix was seen wondering around the streets of San Diego drinking whole milk straight from the carton earlier this afternoon. Many pedestrians audibly questioned why Phoenix was wearing a toga from the movie "Gladiator" but the actor offered no insight. When asked directly for comment the star of such hits as "Walk The Line," "U-Turn" and "Space Camp" merely took a long swig of milk, stared directly at the sun for a few seconds and despondently replied "milk was a bad choice; it's SO hot out today." At that point Phoenix appeared to urinate on a mailbox as he attempted to freestyle rap the plot of the film "8MM."
Authorities are cautioning people to not ask Phoenix to rap or to perform any Johnny Cash covers, as that might only encourage him. However, Hollywood insiders are apparently currently in talks with Mr. Phoenix’s agent, Don King, trying to get Phoenix to perform the opening number at this years Oscar. Whether of not that happens remains to be seen, but either way TMZ.com is just pleased to have a new soul to harvest.

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

How dare you all judge his artistic choices. None of you has the courage to do shit. As for the Pheonix clan being crazy, I remember seeing them in Life magazine around 1987 (Oliver North cover) and his sister Rain who is around my age was crazy all right: CRAZY HOT! That Life magazine was a constant comapanion of mine, I'll tell you what.

Its TMZ.. a gossip site. Anything there should probably be taken with a grain of salt.

Sounds like he's having a Ron Burgundy moment. "Milk was a bad choice!"

DynamiteRave: is it really TMZ worthy? I want a new job.

GMScud, his Ron Burgundy beard was my inspiration.

well it was some pretty funny shit!

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

He's on Letterman right now, and he is completely toasted. Out of his gord. He's twitchy and giving one-word answers. A total mess. Sheesh. Letterman is just mocking him. It's kind of uncomfortable to watch actually.

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

When you've made the coin this guy has, I guess you can go on a drug-fueled rap excursion for a few months. As ridiculous as this is, I sure hope we're not reading this guy's obit in a few months.

I don't know. He's put on a bunch of weight and totally let himself go. He looks and sounds like ass. If this is a joke, to what end? He's making a fool out of himself. Not sure what the motive would be. I hope it is a joke for his sake. He's a great actor, and definitely better off on the big screen than as some drug fueled, Jerry Garcia look alike modern day wanna-be hip hop star.

It just seems like too radical of a change. It's too calculated for me. Who knows, maybe he has gone off the deep end... I'm just not buying it right now. He seems like too smart of a guy, at least he used to seem that way.

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

I don't know how his music career is doing, but I think the heroin addiction thing is working for him. Axel Rose school?? Brian Wilson Jr?
THAT is F...n incredible.
Letterman could not have paid for anything better than that....amazing

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

That Letterman appearance was phenomenal

Spectacular really.

Hilarious but a little tragic.

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

I thought Letterman was very disrespectful then again he's only funny when he is disrespectful.

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

I think even Letterman knows it was a joke.

Not so sure... if you watch the end of the interview, there's a bit of contention there (ie, the gum bit). Eerily reminiscent of the Crispin Glover interview a few years ago.

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

I don't follow celebrities. All I can say is, Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

Here's a take supporting the theory that it's an act:

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

He has lived most of his life in that little Hollywood box which loves to get worshiped at every turn they make. If this is serious and he thinks he can rap wait until he gets laughed off the stage as he almost did in that one little clip. He won't know how to handle getting bood and will cry like a babby. just another Jacka$$ hollywood person.

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

This reminds me of the part in Being John Malkovich when Malkovich gives up acting to become a puppeteer. In that film he becomes a great enough puppeteer to appear on the cover of Time. I wouldn't expect anything similar to happen anytime soon for Phoenix. Still, you have to admire someone giving up everything to follow their dreams, no matter how unrealistic they may be.

Of course it's an act I can't believe people are actually falling for it.

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

Huh. Maybe it's not an act. Regardless, he's a got screw loose big time.

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

Yeah I saw that. I'm starting to believe this whole thing is a hoax. It's all being filmed by his brother-in-law and posted online? Why would he post that online if it is hurting Phoenix's credibility? Affleck has been filming all of the raps and I doubt he would put it up if it is damaging to the Phoenix's "career".

Overall it is a dumb move because movie directors are gonna think he is nutty.

Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. Hoax or not, he's not the coldest beer in the fridge.

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

So he pretty much did a documentary on all the stuff he's been doing since everybody thought he went apeshii ? I might get it from my guy at the barbershop if he has it.

Did you see that beer belly ? One it doesn't make me feel as bad about mine, and two makes me feel good about the fact that I'm eating better and working out now.

Re: Has Joaquin Phoenix lost his mind?
 

Odd very odd, I think a lot of great actors are somewhat lost. JP is completely lost, I like the guy and hope he can turn it around and get back to acting.
