Phoenix Escorts: Joaquin Phoenix Documentary Won’t End Head-Scratching

… Elliptically, I would say … I sincerely don’t want to influence people’s interpretation,” Affleck told the masses at the Venice Film Festival.”I can tell you there is no hoax. It makes me think of ‘Candid Camera’ or something.”
Notice how Affleck stops short of declaring the film non-fiction.
Phoenix walked away from a very successful and lucrative career as a film star in 2008, a move that could’ve been seen as a noble choice by a man who found himself in an industry that made him wildly unhappy. Instead he immediately outed himself as a performance artist by having his every move over the following year filmed. Whether sincere or not, it was an artless move that screamed “Look at me!”
To be fair though, the film – which is rife with scatology, vomiting, prostitutes and cocaine — was well-received.

Phoenix Escorts: I’m Still Here: Joaquin Phoenix Takes the Rap

phoenixhobbyist — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:00:45 +0000

… I can tell you, there’s no hoax,” an ostensibly exasperated Affleck said at today’s press conference. “It never entered my mind until other people commented on the movie.” Maybe I’m Still Here is a documentary, maybe a mockumentary. In our media-mad culture, is any moment “real” when someone lets cameras follow him in his most private moments? Phoenix has been acting since he was a kid, like his siblings, and like Affleck and his older brother Ben. When is an actor not “on”? Is Joaquin so blotto that he does that he’s not aware he’s being photographed? And is there even the slimmest difference between ruthless truth-telling and dumb or preening exhibitionism ingesting snow-mountains of cocaine, shouting down his underlings, having sex with a call girl, all while the camera rolls?

Phoenix Escorts: What a difference a razor makes: Joaquin Phoenix finally gets rid of that …

phoenixhobbyist — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:00:44 +0000

The film is a dark and unflinching look at Joaquin’s life from soon after his Oscar nomination for playing Johnny Cash in Walk The Line.
Cameras follow him on his last acting and press events where he moans that he ‘hates acting’.
Shaky ground: The actor had announced that he was giving up acting to become a rapper but many thought it was all a hoax to create buzz for the new documentary
‘I think everyone at some point in their life hates their jobs and the people they are around’, he reveals in opening scenes of the new movie.
What follows are harrowing scenes of drug use, graphic language, the search for online sex, a meeting with a prostitute and scenes of Phoenix attacking a fan at his own concert.

Phoenix Escorts: Venice: Joaquin Phoenix is Not Here

phoenixhobbyist — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:00:42 +0000

Phoenix does show up for the Two Lovers press junket, wearing a new black suit to cover his increasing bulk. As for the hip-hop career, why couldn’t he hire a coach to help him nail it? Someone as gifted as Phoenix, who after all channeled Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, must know the levels of professionalism required with any artistic endeavor. His hip hop performances suck, with such lyrics as “I feel real, I won’t kneel.”
If this is a Sacha Baron Cohen/let’s-run-with-each-situation portrait of a narcissistic actor gone awry—which makes it a fitting companion piece to Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere—then it’s brilliant, although the movie gets shrill and annoying in the second half. But if it’s a document of an actor going down the tubes—doing cocaine on camera, trawling for prostitutes, jumping into the audience to bash a fan wearing a Ben Stiller fake beard and getting punched in the gut (making him throw up), then that’s not funny at all. And what is Affleck’s complicity in this?

Phoenix Escorts: IN SURPRISE MOVE CRAIGSLIST BLOWS OUT ITS ADULT SERVICES LISTING Move follows …

phoenixhobbyist — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 04:36:59 +0000

For years the adult services section of the website has been a thorn in the side of law enforcement as it is widely alleged by police that prostitutes and those involved in prostitution rings – sometimes using underage girls as sex slaves – use the adults services section to openly advertise for “Johns”e.g., customers.
Craigslist originally had an “Erotic Services” section, but shut it down in May of last year in response to pressure from law enforcement.
The company had previously tried to ward off criticism by verifying listings over the phone and working with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, but has since decided that having a section of the site that had been, for the most part, taken over by the illegal sex trade was not in its best interests.
In an August 24th letter, the state attorneys general said Craigslist should remove the section because it couldn’t adequately block potentially illegal ads promoting prostitution and child trafficking.

Phoenix Escorts: No charges in Ariz. inmate’s death in cage

No charges in Ariz. inmate’s death in cage
(AP) – 1 hour ago
PHOENIX — There will be no criminal charges following the heat-related death of an Arizona inmate who collapsed in an outdoor cage last year.
Bill Fitzgerald, a spokesman for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, said Wednesday there wasn’t enough evidence to prosecute the case.
Fitzgerald says the Department of Corrections had recommended charges against seven officials.
Inmate Marcia Powell died in May 2009 after she was left for nearly four hours in an unshaded outdoor cage. An autopsy report showed she had first- and second-degree burns and a core body temperature of 108 degrees.
Administrators fired, suspended or otherwise disciplined 16 corrections employees over Powell’s death.
Powell was serving a 27-month sentence for prostitution.

Phoenix Escorts: No criminal charges in 2009 heat death of inmate in Goodyear

phoenixhobbyist — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:12:53 +0000

Vanessa Griego, a 24-year-old inmate, was confined to a similar cage at Perryville for 20 hours last year after refusing to return to her cell. She did not require medical attention, although the incident alarmed staff members and fellow inmates.
“Waiting out” prisoners meant corrections officers did not have to use force to return inmates to their cells. But it also meant inmates were regularly left outdoors for longer than the two-hour maximum dictated by prison policy.
The practice was discontinued as part of a series of reforms initiated in the wake of Powell’s death.
Powell, who was serving a sentence for prostitution, said she felt suicidal at 11 a.m. on May 19. She was taken to the outdoor cage to await transportation for psychiatric care at the prison complex detention unit.

Phoenix Escorts: Marcia Powell’s Death Unavenged: County Attorney…

The county medical examiner found the cause of death to be due to complications from heat exposure. Her core body temperature upon examination was 108 degrees Fahrenheit. She suffered burns and blisters all over her body.
Witnesses say she was repeatedly denied water by corrections officers, though the c.o.’s deny this. The weather the day she collapsed from the heat (May 19 — she died in the early morning hours of May 20) arched just above a 107 degree high.
According to a 3,000 page report released by the ADC, she pleaded to be taken back inside, but was ignored. Similarly, she was not allowed to use the restroom. When she was found unconscious, her body was covered with excrement from soiling herself.
Powell, who was serving a 27-month sentence for prostitution, actually expired after being transported to West Valley Hospital, where acting ADC Director Charles Ryan made the decision to have her life support suspended.

Phoenix Escorts: Preview review: Joaquin Phoenix is more here than ever. Or is he?

Months before its release, “I’m Still Here” was already generating a healthy amount of buzz. The documentary/mockumentary, out next month, of course has director Casey Affleck filming Joaquin Phoenix as the actor tries to launch a career as a rapper and engages in some very bad behavior.
As we reported
in June, the movie apparently contains some pretty out-there stuff: Phoenix “snorting cocaine, ordering call girls, having oral sex with a publicist, treating his assistants abusively and rapping badly.”
But Phoenix — who only five years ago earned an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Johnny Cash in “Walk the Line” — can’t be serious, right? The whole thing has to be a joke, some kind of social experiment aimed at making a statement about the malleable nature of celebrity.
