Joaquin Phoenix takes a page of out "B" Girl's Book

[RoadRage]

This is the photo that goes along with this article on CNN where Phoenix says that he's done making movies.

I just find it hysterical that when he wrote "Good Bye" on his hands.. he looked at them, wrote it.. and didn't realize it would be backwards to anyone else who looked at it. :eyes: People.. have a friend check your "work" before you go all public with it!

Anyway.. i think this is his way of giving a shout out to "B" girl with her "it looked right in the mirror" B on her face. :rofl:

1. Phoenix is quitting acting to join a band

blegh.

8. Ouch, yeah that path has gone well for so many actors

It's a shame, he's a genuine talent. I hope he's not on some self destructive path like the one that took his brother.

2. Kind of sad to see him looking so bad.... especially considering his brother River....

And drug abuse.

4. I know..

I don't know anything about his story or background.. i just loved him in Gladiator.. one of my favorite movies.

Has he been on a downhill slide?

11. I think he looks much better than usual. I guess you don't like beards?

:shrug:

3. is it quiting when no one wants you to work anymore?

5. I thought that he was excellent in

"Man in Black."

9. If you're referring to the J Cash Bio it was actually called "Walk the Line"

6. He's a good actor.

Emoting and thinking are not the same thing. Many good actors are not very bright.

10. What a ridiculous and offensive thing to say -nt-

[TexasObserver]

12. Mine wasn't, but yours is.

Your comment is preposterous.

Get a life.

14. He can't even spell his own name on cardboard!

He accepted some award silently to protest something or other, and used flash cards towards a camera, and screwed up his own name!

7. OTOH, he could be thinking like a boxer -

lead with the left jab "good", and follow up with a solid right cross "bye".

Makes sense that way.

13. Sad...he seems really out of it...

the mini-interview is so similar to River in the last few years before his death...
