Phoenix Escorts: Venice: Joaquin Phoenix is Not Here
Posted by: phoenixhobbyist in Phoenix escortsPhoenix 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?
