Jaoquin Phoenix film a hoax

All of this begs the question: Why? Why bother to trick a bunch of people into believing a guy has gone off the deep end when he's really just acting? What the heck is the point? In the interview with The New York Times, Affleck explains that he wanted the film's audience to experience "the disintegration of celebrity."

Yeah, like we can't see that with Britney, Mel, Lindsay or any of the rest of them.

Stupid.

Bingo.

Not since Andy Kaufmann has anyone pulled off a stunt like that.



And IMO he did it wonderfully. I watched the famous Letterman episode that he was on last year. I was convinced the man was toast headed toward an early grave.

Then today.







Roger Ebert is pissed off though.

I don't remember my reaction as to whether I thought it was real or acting but I do remember thinking that it made no difference. It's not like we were watching anything noteworthy or unusual from that sub class of the specie anyway. "Oh, no! A Hollywood celeb is a mess? Noooooooo!"

I thought he was good in Gladiator. :shrug:

He was good in Walk the Line as well. Real good.

I disagree.

River was great in everything he did. He made it look like he wasn't acting. There aren't many that can do that. I still get chills watching his final scene in "Stand By Me". And yes, I guess if he were alive, I would have a man-crush on him.

 

[BuddyLee]

It is strange that he would take off 2-3 years just to create such a performance. I'm guessing he's interested in making some sort of point about the downfall of being a celebrity. This film will be a flop, while he could have been in several lead roles in these past few years. I guess you have to credit him for something.

Sasha Baron Cohen (Borat and Bruno)? I thought it was obvious all of this was a hoax. :shrug:

Sasha Baron Cohen (Borat and Bruno)?

The only hoax that Cohen was involved in - that I'm aware of - was when he gave m&m the stink-face on MTV's Movie Awards.

Although that was absolutely hilarious, and I still laugh when I look back on it, it wasn't near the same magnitude.

I thought it was obvious all of this was a hoax. :shrug:

Congratulations on how incredibly smart you are.
