joaquin phoenix on letterman


joaquin phoenix who has "quit acting" to pursue a career in hip-hop made an appearance on letterman last night to promote his new movie "two lovers." Either he didn't want to be there, was stoned out of his mind, or something else was going on because this complete akwardness is what ensued:

pretty strange huh? what's stranger is that supposedly joaquin is currently filming a documentary with casey affleck about quitting acting and pursuing a career in hip-hop. so i guess it's possible that he was just pulling a borat last night, except way less funny. it's a pretty interesting concept --- that if your such a good actor, you can go about your daily life being anyone you want and people, like letterman, will take you seriously. And if your talented enough, pay you money. i guess that's cool, he wants to be a hip-hopper for a little while, and when hes done he'll have the documentary for people to buy.

but after seeing this horrible rapping display, it makes me think this hip-hop thing is a big shitty joke:


young turks debate it here. I guess it's always possible that he has gone completely insane.
