Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman

[Natrix]

Anyone see this last night?

Pretty uncomfortable interview but I couldn't stop laughing.

I can't access youtube but here is another site with a video of parts of the interview.

WHAT ............. IN ................... THE .................... ^^^^!!!!!!!

And Letterman just kept egging him on ........................ bizarre man, he is either putting on an act or truly lost.

Sad really.

It's all a part of his act that Casey Affleck is filming.

 

[Batty]

I thought it was another part of the act he's doing for his movie with Casey Affleck.

I did not see this, but I heard a lot of clips on Stern this morning. That has to be the greatest appearance I have ever heard. Uncomfortable, hilarious, brilliant, etc...

Does anyone just get a really strong Andy Kaufmann vibe from everything he does anymore?

Well it was convincing, he is a good actor.

Even better than Crispin Glover?

 

[pixletwin]

No. Crispin kicking his shoe at Letterman's head was a moment that no one can top.

Is there a video clip of this?

 

[Kuzeh]

That was just too fake to be real...

 

[J-Wild]

Man, that is hilarious and weird!

 

[OSCORP]

I've always liked the man!

I'm sure it's all an act.

I suspect that Crispin Glover's act was real, though. He is certifiably nuts, and was probably stoned. I wonder why people choose Letterman to do all their weird crap? There was also the Harvey Pekar incident from years ago, and his wacky, uncomfortable interview with Madonna.

 

[Blake]

Even better than Crispin Glover?

I think so. Glover was waaaaay out there, in your face with his craziness. This was so subdued, with tons of uncomfortable silence, which I just love.

And let's not forget Courtney Love flashing him...

 

[Batty]

I was lucky enough to meet Crispin Glover at one of his shows. He was incredibly nice but seemed a little uncomfortable speaking to people one on one.

 

[pixletwin]

Yeah... When I worked at a movie theater when he was living in Salt Lake he would come in all the time. Seemed like a really nice but sort shy person.

 

[Batty]

I think what Glover did on Letterman was genuine. Joaquin was more of an act. He knew he was going to get an audience response behaving the way he was.
