I think Joaquin Phoenix is one of the best actors out there. Phillip Hoffman, Edward Norton, and Christian Bale are better, but Phoenix was fantastic in "Gladiator" and "Walk the Line." He seems to have abandoned acting in pursuit of a Hip Hop music career. However, he has a movie coming out this weekend called "Two Lovers" and is making some junket apperances promoting it.
Don't know if you guys caught this interview on Letterman last night, but it is one of the most uncomfortable things I think I have ever watched. There are rumors that this may be a "prank" and this whole idea of having a Hip Hop career is going to actually be a "Spinal Tap" style mockumentary movie. But I dont' think so. Would love to hear your thoughts after you watch...
