Joaquin Phoenix Memorial Video




Watch until about 9 1/2 minutes in.
It's like seeing a postmortem performance, isn't it?

  1. I watched a comedian die on stage a few years back. He left the stage crying. I wanted to crawl out of my skin it was so painful. I have never felt that bad again. Until I saw this.

    But the word is that this is all a hoax. Part of a movie that he and Casey Affleck are shooting. And if that's the case, Phoenix might just be the most brilliant actor I've ever seen.

  2. If you watch an earlier Phoenix interview with Letterman and then that, the fix is clearly in.

  3. You'd think he would have learned about the dangers of drugs from his brother.

  5. After seeing this, for teh first time I was convinced that he might be acting - he's just that good of an actor. I guess we'll find out when Affleck's doc comes out and he has to do PR for it...

  6. Daniel - I'm almost 100% sure that he's acting. And in my opinion, he's just as convincing in this role as in any of his others. In short, this is the first time I've ever been interested in Joaquin Phoenix's career.
