Last night, I watched the new movie “Two Loves” starring Joaquin Phoenix and Gwenyth Paltrow. It was a pretty good movie, I love Joaquin as an actor, and the character in the film reflected his true Scorpio qualities.

In case you missed it, Joaquin Phoenix recently announced he was leaving the acting world to become a rap star. Yes, a rap star. Camera in hand, his good buddy Casey Affleck has been following him around, and shooting a documentary about it. Is this another Borat film?

In a similar feat of character acting, Joaquin Phoenix is portraying a successful actor, who retires from the movie industry to pursue a rapping career, in a film by Casey Affleck.

Phoenix has no flow whatsoever, but that is beside the point. His mission is not to convince people that he is a talented MC, it is to convince them that he is serious in pursuing a career as one. From the comments on his first appearance, he has managed to do exactly that.

Andy Kaufman succeeded in fooling the world into believing he had gone mad and wanted to be a pro-wrestler. He proved that an absurd premise, combined with superb, skillful execution can lead to entertainment that will live forever.

I write this without fear of ruining the joke, knowing that:

1: No-one reads this blog.
2: Joaquin Phoenix’ acting skills will annihilate anything said by me.

Below is some footage of Joaquin walking off angry when a reporter questions his sincerity. The second, a youtube video of him falling off the stage already was viewed by 150,000 people in one day.

Go to the Nostraboris web site to check out the HILARIOUS video. Joaquin Phoenix is a true entertainer and genius, or is he a rapper gone mad? Who knows? Either way, he’s definitely, one of my favorite actors.
