Yeah, I still don't buy it though.

Ever since Gladiator I don't want to watch a movie with him (hitting on his sister in the movie). It's weird how an actor's role makes you think they are like that in real life.

I think they call that "not being in touch with reality." You may or may not know this, but in real life, Dustin Hoffman doesn't dress up as a woman and act in a soap opera.

Well, it's not really thinking he's like that in real life. It's more like I can't get that image out of my head because I haven't seen him in other roles really.

Mel Gibson is one of my favorite actors. He's played a crazed Scott, a crazy experimented on person, dressed up like a woman, a suicidal cop. All kinds of roles. So you don't simply think of the weirder roles.

Same for Dustin Hoffman (who you mentioned). I don't think of him as an autistic person because he's had many great roles (including that one).

But when you've only seen one movie with the person in a leading role and the role is a little disturbing it makes you think of that role every time you see them.

I get the same way with people who basically have the same role in every movie. How many movies have you seen with Sidney Poitier where he wasn't a cop?

Ever see Sidney in "A Raisin in the Sun"?

Nope.

Youz gotza watch us people wif clef lips. Weez crazy like dat.

So at some point you had to say to yourself, "Well, I can get over the fact that Mel Gibson dressed like a woman so I should probably watch another one of his movies."

Get over him in Gladiator and go rent Walk the Line. Or go watch Signs, which has BOTH Mel Gibson AND Joaquin Phoenix.

I've seen signs. It was so long ago I don't remember him being in it. I'll have to give Walk the Line a try I guess.

Swing away Merle.

I used to like him.

Jealousy is an ugly color.

It was all fake....go figure, lol

One of my all time favorite movies. He should have won Best Actor.

maybe not fake

Phoenix confirms he's walking the hip-hop line
Feb. 3, 2009, 8:00 PM EST
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Joaquin Phoenix says there's no hoax about it: He really has given up acting to become a hip-hop musician.

Phoenix has been spending his time laying down tracks for a rap album in the recording studio he built at his home, the two-time Academy Award nominee said Tuesday in an interview to promote what he claims is his final movie, "Two Lovers."

After video hit the Internet last month capturing part of Phoenix's debut rap performance at a Las Vegas club, speculation swirled that he was perpetrating an elaborate practical joke.

"I don't know where that comes from," Phoenix said. "If it comes from people that I've had a falling out with, that are (ticked) off at me?"

The video shows Phoenix, in a long, scraggly beard, rapping nearly inaudibly and ends with him losing his footing and falling off the stage. It was an inauspicious start, but Phoenix was adamant that his hip-hop career is real.

"There's not a hoax," Phoenix said. "Might I be ridiculous? Might my career in music be laughable? Yeah, that's possible, but that's certainly not my intention."

Joaquin Phoenix leaps into crowd at hip-hop show

By LISA ORKIN EMMANUEL, Associated Press Writer

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Joaquin Phoenix appears to be getting into the act of being a petulant hip-hop star.

He jumped off the stage during a short performance at the LIV nightclub early Thursday morning and confronted an audience member who was heckling him. Security guards dragged him back on stage and escorted him away.

It's unknown whether the confrontation — and his pledge to quit acting and start rapping — was real or a put-on, but actor Casey Affleck recorded the performance on camera.

In October, Phoenix's publicist confirmed he was making the career switch. In January he performed at a Las Vegas nightclub and the next month he made a strange appearance on David Letterman's "Late Show." Actor Ben Stiller lampooned that appearance at the Oscars.

Hundreds of people packed the nightclub at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel after the doors opened at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday night.

Several of those in the audience said they came just to see Phoenix, who left them cooling their heels for almost four hours while disc jockeys played house and hip-hop music.

Phoenix came out on stage before 2 a.m., smoking a cigarette and wearing a disheveled dark suit, sneakers and his scraggly long hair and beard.

He began rapping to a beat played by the DJ and nodding to the music, although most of the lyrics were unintelligible. Then he responded to someone who appeared to be heckling him in the audience near the stage.

"We have a (double-expletive) in the audience," he said before jumping into the crowd. It was not immediately clear whether the two men exchanged any blows.

"I saw the guy screaming at Joaquin, and Joaquin just came down," said Jorge Lledo, 30, of Miami Beach.

Security guards swarmed the scene and dragged Phoenix away.

The bizarre spectacle struck many in the audience as the latest prank in an extended farce staged by Phoenix. Affleck, an Oscar-nominated actor who is also Phoenix's brother-in-law, is making a documentary about Phoenix's career shift.

"(Affleck's) camera was filming the whole time, so it makes me think he has ulterior motives," said Luis Gendron, 23, of Miami.

"He knows the game he's playing, and he's good at it," Gendron said of Phoenix.

This whole thing has got to be a hoax, including his "announcement" that he was done with acting.

Thats what everyone is trying to figure out. That Letterman thing seemed to good to be contrived.

I didn't know his brother was River Phoenix who died from an overdose, iirc. I just never tied the 2 together.

Maybe Curry is a hoax as well.

This generation's Kaufman?

This generation's Kaufman?

Naaah. If this is real, he's just plain crazy and if it's fake, which seems likely, he should be embarrassed by how poorly it's been pulled off. Way too contrived, and all a setup for the movie.

This generation's Kaufman?

Total insult to Andy Kaufman. Phoenix is a flake and a joke. He doesn't have the sense of humor or the balls to pull some scam like this off. He's probably pissed because he's been skinked on two Oscar nominations. Also, he could have gone so deep (while putting me to sleep) in that Johnny Cash role that he is lost in some sort of alternative universe identity crisis.

Either way, he's a fuck job.

Guys I didn't mean he was nearly as good as Kaufman, that's a joke at best. I just can't recall anyone doing anything along these lines other than Kaufman.

Pat Paulson might be a better comparison.

This generation's Kaufman?

Nah, I don't think so. He isn't nearly as good.

Pat Paulson might be a better comparison.

If you don't LOL at this, you are a retard.
