joaquin phoenix bye Joaquin’s “I’m Still Here” Trailer: I Still Don’t Understand What’s Going On

Hey, remember when Joaquin Phoenix went crazy, maybe? He grew a beard and quit acting and announced he was making a rap album and annoyed both David Letterman and most of the American public because seriously, dude, is this for real? Are you making a movie? A documentary? A statement? (No, I’m sorry…a “statement?”) Are you actually losing your mind or are we allowed to make fun of you? Because I don’t want to seem like an ass, but…BYE! GOOD? Come on, maaaan.

Anyway, the first trailer for I’m Still Here, the movie/documentary/social experiment/whatever the hell is out. There’s a voiceover by Edward James Olmos (I think?) about waterdrops and mountaintops and lots of shots of Joaquin wandering around looking weird and tortured by FAME. The FAAAAAME. It BUURRRNS. MY METAPHOR IS ON FIRE AND IT BURRRRRRRRNNNS!

One free unicorn to the first person to translate this nonsense into something understandable. Or funny. I will also accept funny.

    All we are is dust in the wind, man. We’re just drops of water rolling down a huge mountain, making no impact whatsoever. Gee, thanks Mr. James-Olmos. I feel so much better about my life now.

    Poor Joaquin, boo hoo, the fame caught up with him so he started acting like an asshole and he gets to call it “art”? Whatever. It will be a miracle if he ever gets to be in a movie again. Bored now.

    Here it is…you ready?! He is trying to pull the biggest comedy trick ever and go WAY beyond what Andy Kaufman ever did. I am calling it! Oh and it’s going to be a bit of mix of what happened in the movie “The Prestige”. It’s just a big trick on us all, at least that’s what they are trying to do.

    Or he has really gone batsh*t crazy and thinks he is 2Pac reborn…only white.

    I’m still kind of at a loss with this really. And please know that I adoooooore Joaquin Phoenix. If it’s supposed to be Andy Kaufmanesque, I’m not sure it’s very well done. And if it’s not a joke or “statement,” well….shit, dude. Maaaan.

    I can say only this FOR SURE: his beard makes my skin crawl. Also I miss his brother, River.

    Dude, I think it’s hormones. I mean check him out at .41 he totally looks like the Pregnant Man. Amiright? Of course, this would mean he would have the gestation period of an elephant, but I mean there’s really no precedent for pregnant, new age, “movie stars” now is there? :)

    Huhhhh.

    Joaquin should stick to movies like Quills where he plays a naughty priest. A hot, naughty priest.

    …

    What was I talking about?

    The truth? He wanted to see what it would be like to not bathe for a year or two.

    Unfortunately, his publicist freaked out, and insisted this all be played like some big mockumentary prank.

    Same formula that saved Garth from Chris Gaines.

    He’s getting back at his parents. It’s the ole “boy who lived” ploy, am I right?

    You know, the wrong brother died. And he’s tortured. And his parents resent him. And he’s just saying ‘F YOU’ as loudly as he possibly can – with a movie about his great, big, egotistical, meaningfuly Hollywood existence.

    Right? Right?

    Translation: whack a dack, kick him in the sack, he’ll still be back…on crack. And that’s a fact Jack.

    Did anyone else enjoy the irony of the video beginning with some drops of water spilled on a table and ending with a Bounty commercial??

    What the effing eff?!? Dude is crazy. I really don’t know what the hell this is about, and all I can think about now is “mountaintop waterdrop.” It sounds like a song. Maybe Tay Zonday could make a song from it. Yes, that is what needs to happen. Or maybe that Double Rainbow guy could make that his next big hit.
