fit fit is offended because he knows that celebrities (mostly) support his point of view. Given the fact there is enough whack-jobs to fill an E television series called “E true Hollywood stories”, it may become embarrassing at some point, for left elitists, to associate themselves with the popularly deluded minority. For example, screech started off as an innocent slap stick role on Saved by the Bell, and ended up trying to make money selling his own pornos. I laugh. The left follows.

Drugs? It was an act.

From the San Jose Mercury News:

It would have been nice to begin to ignore whatever it is that’s going on with erstwhile actor Joaquin Phoenix, but he makes it difficult when he goes on David Letterman’s talk show and doesn’t come close to breaking character in the most demanding role of his life, that of hobo rapper.

Phoenix, a two-time Academy Award nominee, now sports a bushy black beard, shabby clothes and all-hours shades. He announced last October that he was quitting acting to concentrate on a career as a hip-hop musician. Many people think it’s all an elaborate joke, but Phoenix insists he’s serious.

He’s an immensely talented actor. The Letterman show episode is already being called a classic and has gotten rave reviews from everyone.

I can’t believe Republicans are so un-hip.

Hehe, you might be right, Mata! ROTFL at the image of Dewey Cox busting in and his drummer saying, “uppers and downers, Dewey. They’re your logical next step!” Maybe Phoenix was in that scene, hiding behind the toilet!

Glover was hilarious. I remember watching that one live so many years ago. Couldn’t stop laughing. I think what made it so funny was that Letterman wasn’t in on the joke, and thought Glover was really nuts.

Phoenix was just kind of pathetic. He looked completely lost, like he didn’t understand quite what was going on. Probably took too many ludes. I guess that would make him “hip”, eh Larry?

Remember the Bond movie “Diamonds are Forever”? The two “gay” hitmen, Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd? Mr. Wint is Crispin’s Dad, Bruce Glover and Mr. Kidd is the well-known jazz bassist Putter Smith.

Thought y’all would like to know.

Man, I’m with Luva…. Ya know, Letterman and I couldn’t be more opposite in our political beliefs, but I’ve enjoyed him immensely (for the most part) since before he got “prime time”. And frankly, he was rivaling Jack Benny, master of “the pause”, in his interview with Joaquin.

Speaking of Joaquin, between the response/reaction time, the shades and the entire demeanor… I’d say he was high. As opposed to the way older interview of Crispin (aka “Crispie” Glover)… who is first and foremost a comedian… Phoenix (a dramatic actor by trade) came off badly, and Letterman absolutely stellar in handling it. Phoenix was buzzed, and Letterman was not only tolerant, but earned his big bucks off it. Letterman 1, Phoenix 0.

Glover? I think it was preplanned (without telling Letterman producers, of course) A much younger Letterman was still on form, but less apt to take risks. At that earlier part in his career, he probably wanted to divest himself of him quickly. Remember, Carson had retired, and left Letterman in the “late late” night slot…. instead taking his time (after Joan Rivers) to gift Leno with that slot. Letterman, with great ratings, was not happy. A bad performance at this time with Glover was not on the promotion agenda when, most likely, he was being wined and dined by competing networks.

Today, and more secure with his position? I bet he’d work him over but good.

Bottom line? I’d bet Glover’s was a planned performance (with bad timing for Letterman personally) in keeping with signature character of George McFly (released just a year an a half prior). Joaquin probably thought Letterman (now established as Leno competition) would be a breeze, no matter what altered state he was in.

And BOTH made me roar.

BTW… Buffoon? ROTFLMAO!

The crispin glover one is an act. He is pretending to be a character in the movie he is selling at the time. I think the move was called rubin and ed. type in “rubin and ed” in youtube and you will understand the character.

i also think phoenix is doing some sort of act.

wow, that was freakin funny. it may have been an act with both, but why would they act like that? it was painful to watch, it was terribly painful. whats funny is they expect to be taken seriously about global issues when really they should be checking into the betty ford clinic with a stop by the mental hospital. pheonix has always kinda creeped me out, but this confirms, he is crazy. he also looked homeless, actually that may be an insult to the homeless.
