joaquin phoenix on letterman

I agree - it felt like the stares out at the audience and the looking down at his lap, etc. were acts. It's like when you watch a movie or play and you can see someone going through the process of acting - that's how it felt to me.
But he had a few retorts that were way quicker than they would have been if he were stoned. I just think he's getting some free publicity.
To me it is an act. At the end of the clip I watched, he takes off the glasses, shakes Letterman' hand, and it sounds like he says "You did well".
That signals to me that he is telling Letterman that he did a god job ad libing to his acting.

Yeah Angie, but why would he need publicity? The guys already made a ton of money.
I just watched it again. That is a hilarious clip. Letterman really made hay.:biglaugh:
I think so too. And it wouldn't be the first time an uncomfortable moment was staged on Letterman's show...

Dustinal nailed it. It's basically a reprisal of the faked Andy Kaufman Jerry Lawler fight. Dave was in on that one too.
You're right, he does - but nothing is a given in this economy. This month has been great for the box office, but I'm sure it's a ploy to make sure people get out to see his movie. It's been a few years since he had a big success, so he might just kind of be doing the "crazy like a fox" thing to put butts in the seats. I also don't trust anyone, so take my opinion for what it's worth. :wink:
I hadn't seen that in forever. :notworthy:
is that really the only targeted demographic for the movie? or can I watch it too? :mask:

FWIW, Sundance is held in Park City, Utah. Salt Lake City has the largest Mormon population in the world which is only a mear 30 minutes away from Park City.
But the original post about Sundance being for hippies and Mormons is hilarious. I've been to Sundance three times and all it is empty ski slopes, movie stars and a lot of parties. Oh yeah, they show a few good movies as well. A lot of the years best films are premiered there.
Time to bring back this thread! 
Either he is mentally ill or he has just played a pretty good joke on his audience. If either way im interested.
