[Reephdweller]

I think he's been on the show once before fucked up too. I know he has a social anxiety think, but there is no excuse for that.

[Hottub]

Please don't say anything bad about him. His people are constantly reading our board.

[TjM]

It's all a ruse for an upcoming mocumentary (Rockumentary). He's the dude playin the dude that's playin the dude

[west milly Tom]

Wow, did he fall asleep there for a second?

Holy shit, awesome reference

[Contra]

I saw the commercial for it and thought Dave was talking to a homeless vagrant, but then they said his name. I thought it was his "I'm a rockstar now" look.

[Chigworthy]

The grammar in this thread are atrocious.

[Misteriosa]

i thought it was hilarious. at the beginning, i thought Joaquin was messing around, but when Letterman seemed to get annoyed, thats when i started to change my mind. the gum on the desk was a nice touch too. I hope this was just a ruse (of Borat proportions) to continue the promotion for whatever fake rapper storyline he's working on. if not, someone better get Joaquin some new handlers before they complete his career suicide.

[Enabler]

So fake. Im just not buying it. My last shred of belief in humanity wont allow me to.

[Melk]

Agreed. Letterman has always been a phony.

Phoenix must have watched the documentary "I'm from Hollywood" and thought it would be fun to do a work with Letterman.

I WILL NOT! sit idly by while you insult Mr. Letterman


GOOD DAY SIR!

[drjoek]

It s a total work.
They think theyre punking us.
I won't see this Rockumentary when it comes out

[BeerBandit]

The more I watch it the more it seems like a work.

But then I think of what an awful actor he is and realize that there is no way he could pull it off.

He's just a total douche. I hope he drops dead outside of a niteclub.

[WampusCrandle]

i feel really uncomfortable after watching it.

[ToiletCrusher]

Dave rules.

[KingModem]

Loved it!

[Furtherman]

Dave handled him perfectly.

"I'm sorry you couldn't be here tonight."

"We owe Farrah Fawcett an apology!" :clap:


Now, what exactly Joaquin is trying - if at all - to accomplish? I don't know and at this point really don't care.

[donnie_darko]

this is almost as funny as the paris hilton interview.....almost.

[kungfuzombie]

Geeez! Ever think he may have social anxiety?? If this wasn't a hoax then he was obviously really nervous. David Letterman is a total douche bag anyways. I would go on his show the same way. I HIGHLY doubt this was drugs!! You people are sooo quick to judge and you think actors have no issues or problems. I bet you same assholes thought Heath Ledger committed suicide too huh?
I am sick by most of your responses:wallbash::thumbdown::nono:

[kungfuzombie]

The grammar in this thread are atrocious.
Yeah. and "All your grammar are belong to us"

[Furtherman]

Geeez! Ever think he may have social anxiety??

Careful, your tears might ruin your Teen Beat magazine.

And no, he doesn't have social anxiety because he's done many, many interviews on talk shows and has been fine.

[Contra]

Yes I'm sure the ZZ top beard and tussled hair were due to social anxiety.

[west milly Tom]

You're making me feel weird about it.


I can't be the first person to make you feel weird about it.


That exchange over him performing on the show sometime was cringey good.

[AKA]

I think he's been on the show once before fucked up too. I know he has a social anxiety think, but there is no excuse for that.

Leave him alone! He's working through his issues!

[kungfuzombie]

TEENBEAT!?? LOL...I am actually not a huge fan of Joaquin...I just hate how people automatically think the worse.
Maybe he just hates Letterman???...LOL. OR they hoaxed it.
I used to read BOP...for the record. I never liked Teenbeat.

[TheMojoPin]

I never liked Teenbeat.

I thought you said "TenBats" at first. You were going to be the best new poster ever.

[WhistlePig]

He had nothing compared to Crispin Glover's interview.

[jauble]

Finally watched the clip and it was hard not to shut it off due to cringe.

[STC-Dub]

Please don't say anything bad about him. His people are constantly reading our board.

I don't think imaginary people are a threat to us. Perhaps to him but not to us.

[redbri]

wasn't crispen glover removed after demonstrating a kick at Dave.

[STC-Dub]

My wife and I watched the show last night and just stared in disbelief. I think Dave was right when he said Joaquin looked like Morrison right before the end. There is something seriously wrong with the guy.

[John Galt]

Yeah, if you go to Casey Affleck's IMDB, you'll see he's currently directing "Untitled Joaquin Phoenix Documentary," which revolves around the man's transition from actor to rapper. I've heard it's more of a mockumentary, but I can't confirm that.

Who are you?

[John Galt]

Well, I've been listening for several years and figured I'd join. I haven't been on a message board in years, but I figured nobody would enjoy a thread in which I intro myself. So yeah, thought I'd just jump in. By the way, neti pots are genius.

My post was a joke about your name, actually.

I was hoping that he was a Mystery Worker.

[STC-Dub]

I loved the Joaquin Phoenix segment on Weekend Update on SNL last night, the guy nailed it.

I'm just glad people get the reference. Nobody I know would. I knew this was a good idea.

Glad you're on board.

Wait until you meet Bob Impact. He's our resident proponent of Objectivism.

[Kublakhan61]

I watched it. The clip made me respect JP for the first time. He called out the keyboard guy for being the cackling ass that he is, and letterman looked like jerk.
Work or not, I enjoyed the appearance a lot. The only cringe I felt was watching Letterman try to find an angle or a funny joke.

[fezident]

Best Week Ever did a great riff on the Joaquin/Letterman sketch.

Paul F. skewered it perfectly.
I can't find the clip itself but, VH1 probably runs it every 4 hours. You'll catch it.

[Puggle_kicker]

Ive heard the clips and I thought it was great . . . but seeing it is a whole new level of great. I have so much respect for Letterman, he was hilarious. What you saw there would never had happened on Leno. Leno would have sucked his cock.

The best part was the reaction Juaquin had when Letterman said that it wasnt likely that he would have him as a guest for his music. Great!!!!!

you have got to be kidding me . . . . Letterman killed!

[fezident]

I thought Dave ROCKED in that clip. He sold it.

[calmtempest]

:thumbup:

Ever see the Simpsons episode where Maggie goes to the Ayn Rand School for Tots? Quality, man...

[BeerBandit]

I thought Dave ROCKED in that clip. He sold it.

I agree, man. For as old as the dude is, he's still so quick and biting.

The keyboard guy?

Letterman trying to find an angle?


I think your funny bone has been installed backwards.

[vjr97]

he's acting.i guess its some new quirky character or some shit.it sucks anyway

[foodcourtdruide]

I thought it was hilarious. Why doesn't anyone like a good bit anymore? Phoenix did a great job and Letterman had some great lines.

[TonyStark]

Not sure if this is in here but more of the Phoenix act, him rapping:

C'mon, that keyboard guy is awful.

That's Mr. Paul Shaffer to you.

That's Mr. Paul Shaffer to you.

Sorry, I meant:

Sorry, I meant:

You are wrong.

He played with BTO. Please bite your typing finger off.

Not possible.
