"I'm Still Here" whether there's a point to it or not
.
Casey Affleck has been following around Joaquin Phoenix with a camera during his apparent public breakdown in a film entitled “I'm Still Here”.
There is some question as to whether or not this is a hoax. Some experimental performance art, perhaps; in any event, “Spinal Tap, it’s not. It follows our real life actor friend , Joaquin as he announces his retirement from acting to become a rapper. No, seriously, he says he wants to pursue a career in music.
This just couldn’t be sadder or more pathetic whether it is true or not. We live in the era of reality TV where every bowel movement should be tweeted about, and everything else is on video for youtube.com.
This very talented actor is just a step ahead of our society, so narcissistic that he needs to give us all a bird’s eye view of the spiral down into madness. No boundaries, everything in your face. Casey Affleck is, in my opinion, a great actor, but apparently he is also a whore. In particular, if Joaquin isn’t in on the joke and truly has gone nuts; then dude, shame on you!
This “film” was released today. My suggestion? Go to your local institution and try to do some good for the crazy people nobody pays attention to.
I would love to know what Phoenix said to David Letterman after he took off his glasses.
