simply because i can’t spell his first name i will refer to the gentleman in question as mr pheonix… anyway, did anybody else get the feeling as if you were watching an old space ghost coast to coast episode with the wierd tension going on between him and dave the other night?
You can’t spell his last name, either.

You talking about a certain whack-een?
That “performance” was contrived methinks.
well… the whole “deal” is whether or not he’s fucking all of us… if he is then more power to him. if not…
Who cares?
He’s just another dipshit Hollywood mainstream persona looking to make headlines.
Bad publicity is good publicity. Now EVERYONE will be talking about ‘kerazy’ Joaquin.
I saw the Letterman appearance the other night and can honestly say I can’t see what all the fuss is about. It wasn’t even weird or controversial. Just fucking stupid.

Yeah… His Grizzly Adams/Matisyahu thing is pretty hilarious.
It is an act. He is working on a mockumentary, going for the Borat thing.
I’m intrigued. He’s a good actor, “mainstream” or not. The backlash against all things mainstream on this board is childish and exhausting to me. People saying NIN sucks but some artsy group of French pansies called Mersault that sound like shit are the best thing in music. And Justin Broadrick is a god who can do no wrong. Please…that Jesu album ‘Conqueror’ is a piece of emo Shoegaze masturbatory vocoder shit. Period.
I prefer to rank things as good, bad or mediocre. I don’t care how many other people like them. The whole misanthropic trip is overrated and childish frankly.
Back on topic, I am intrigued to see what happens out of this whole thing. If he’s fucking with people, I’d like to see the result and if it paid off. Letterman is a fucking douchebag and his audience is a bunch of vapid morons so it was cool watching Joaquin fuck with them Koffman style.
People are so fucking dumb. They expect these actors to go on and be so fake, gushing with enthusiasm and excitement about another stupid film. And when they just act subdued it’s all a big joke and let’s tear them to shreds for being “out of it”. Well, what the fuck have you accomplished? You can’t touch Joaquin. He could be high as a kite and still be worth more than your middle class piece of shit life.
The best performance on Letterman ever was Crispin Glover (can’t remember the year, could have been late 80s/early 90s) when he had that wig on (or was it a wig!?) and started freaking out and nearly kicks Letterman in the head. I wish he did kick him.
“I’m strong!”
