Joaquin is such an amazing actor, yet another casualty of the star making machinery. He cracked under pressure, probably linked to the guilt he might still feel at his brother’s death, who was the star in the family. There’s rumors this documentary is a joke, but TMZ has been reporting Joaquin acting erratic at many public events over the last few months. This might be a good case for an intervention. Joaquin, remember The Gladiator? Why is everyone on that brilliant film turning into a sad parody of themselves? Get a grip!

if p diddy has anything to do with it i won’t touch it. p diddy ranks at the lowest of the lows of actors/producers/musicians in my book (actually ranks at the bottom of people as a whole) he’s a bottom feeder, fur wearer and just all over nasty uneducated and honestly he looks mentally retarded with that mouth of his always hanging open

“the gift they have to a hobby they enjoy”
hi Phil, thats very well said!
and you know, what is enjoyable as a hobby, soon becomes boring when doing it as your main thing/job. I wonder how long it takes when Joaquin will miss acting and go back to his gift.

It’s obviously a high-profile filming anew feature film- probably about some washed up homeless actor/musician guy who finds success or an inspiring story through falling in love or something. the publicity builds up expectations and hype, making everyone super excited about it. hoorah, i know i am.

Look, rap in general is basically boring and monotonous and survives only because of hype and horomones. Add a ‘C’ to it and you’ve got the idea. But, hey, to each his own.

As to Joaquin Phoenix becoming a rapper, well, more power to him. Let’s examine his technique:

1. Hard to decipher lyrics.
2. Punctuation of said lyrics with inane, repetitive body movements.
3. Ridiculous look (to try to conform with the accepted uniform of nonconformity adopted by performers of the genre).
4. No talent.

Seems to me that Joaquiin Phoenix deserves the right to enter the Pantheon of rap. Why you report on him is the real question. Slow news day?
