    I suppose it was just performance art when my friends and I started a rock band in junior high. We couldn't play instruments and never even put a song together. We just screwed around in my parents' basement and imagined getting BJs from groupies. I did learn the bass line to U2's With or Without You though. Can I put "performance artist" on my resume now?

    It will never top his first hoax when he convinced everyone including a lovable robot that he wanted to go to the moon.

    I think the worst aspect of this whole stupid mockumentary shtick is that Joaquin picked rap. The whole lame white people trying to rap thing reached critical mass when we were introduced to MC Rove a few years ago. It's the whole cliched Yo! Yo! Yo! crotch-grab backwards cap "bling" fo-shizzle "rap" garbage that no one finds funny. It's terrible. And Joaquin is talented. There is nothing original or creative about this.

    @NoWireHangers: I know, I was waiting for him to start doing some bluegrass or rock or something. But I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope this fits in to whatever the fuck it is they're making.

    If you want to see some brilliant acting from him. Check out "Parenthood" the scene when he is on the phone with his father... some of the best acting I've ever seen and from a child especially.


    I loved walk the line too but im not sure what else I've seen him in recently.

    @freedc: When Parenthood came out I was also about 14 or so and he had the hottest spread of him in a pool in I think Details? If someone has that and could upload that... Anyway, I don't think he's self important either, I've loved all of his movies, except one awful one called 'It's All About Love.' Truly awful and I'll watch anything. But I can't watch him rap, I haven't gotten up the nerve. It's like I'm embarassed for my boyfriend.

    Hey actors: if you want to do something TOTALLY out of character and really mess with our expectations having what appears to be a chemically induced meltdown of self-awareness and embarking on an oddly terrible hip hop career is probably not the way to do.


    Go get an office job. Or do your own laundry. That would really MESS with me.

    Richard!


    How could you not post the link to that show-circus of a performance in Vegas. You know the one where he falls off the stage after slurring incoherently into a microphone to a 1990's House of Pain beat? Frigging joyfully hilarious.


    Also I think somebody needs to break these guys up. This new subversive young male actor group needs some sort of legitimate reason for existing or if not just make their little quiet movies and get on with it. I'm looking at you Affleck and Gosling. At least Gyllenhaal is in Prince of Persia (will suck by the way) and Phillippe is... I don't know being blonde.

    If this is true it could be really interesting especially if it's done as a "watch how fast people turn on you/celebrate your downfall" type of thing. It would be even better if he compared it to a legit nervous breakdown/downfall like Britney.


    Or maybe he IS having a nervous breakdown and this is his publicist's way of saying "Of course he isn't!"

    I sort of think that this is both hilarious and awesome. It's not as though the world is suffering due to a shortage of Joaquin Phoenix films. I also find it comforting that if he is indeed batshit crazy it's in a fun constructive way and not in a delusional destructive way.

    @kjack: I too am thinking hilarious and awesome. I hope the end product is worth it. And I'm going to have to disagree with Richard about Joaquin. I don't think he's self-important at all. He's a serious person, but he doesn't seem to take himself too seriously, if you catch my meaning. At least that's my impression. It's not like I know him at all.
