Joaquin Phoenix | SmartLess 

Even ari aster has been doing interviews quite a lot. I think beau is afraid is getting thick marketing budget… i haven’t seen it yet but it could go places

Yea im stunned. Ive never heard the man be normal in an interview. I never disliked him for coming off as a prick sometimes. Perfectly understandable. Didnt think he was such a cool guy when hes not under a spotlight though. A testament to these three guys that they can get anyone and everyone to be themselves.

Definitely.. love these guys ❤

That’s right! Joaquin was known as Leaf back then.

Space Camp for me

Id agree. I think his character in Master rivals DDL in there will be blood 👍🏼

Gladiator? I have to ask again: Gladiator?? If you mean that it would be a fitting ironic comment on the relative uselessness and ineptitude of the 'Academy ' when it comes to recognizing and honoring artistic achievement, then absolutely yes, Gladiator. But if you're being earnest, then you really should see The Master. If you have seen Master, then join all of existence, now and forever after, in disregarding this comment. But that's probably a decision that you've already made for yourself. I don't know about Walk the Line; I saw a bit of it on cable years ago. Reese Witherspoon seemed fine in it, although I really admired her in Freeway and Election. I think I had more fun with Walk Hard. I like John Reilly in everything from Hard Eight and Boogie Nights to Stepbrothers and Check It Out! and Moonbase 8. And his movie with Diego Luna, and definitely the Little Hours with Molly Shannon, and of course Talladega Nights. I was kind of perplexed by comments I heard John Reilly make in an interview while promoting The Sisters Brothers, that movie he did with Joaquin Phoenix. (I'm glad to see Westerns come back any time, and thank Red Dead Redemption 2 for its role in that. RDR2 and The Master have had the strongest affect on me of just about anything I've seen, read, or played recently.) JCR talked about his ability both to take the lead as an alpha in a partnership, as well as to cede that role to the other player if the role and the production called for it. JCR said he loved JP and would take a bullet for him. But at some point JCR described watching JP work like watching a raccoon root through trash. I'm not a good judge of people, and I miss a lot of nonverbal communication and social cues - as might have already seemed pretty likely by this point - but I couldn't tell if JCR was taking a backhanded swipe at JP or not. The comment seemed to have been a response to how well they got along or how they worked together, but you can never tell since an interview can be edited and rearranged in any way.

@@gentlesoft6627 I fell asleep trying to read your essay.

Mission accomplished. Solace taken in the consolation of art

Yes. True to his body. We can all learn from this

Yes to Josh Hartnett, especially b/c he left & recently returned to Hollywood (kinda like Brendan Fraser or Colin Farrell, never fully gone from the movies, but diminished star power). Interesting to hear about his experience filming the adaptation of Jeffrey Eudenides' The Virgin Suicides (such a good book & oddly liked the film too, which is rare). And curious about his experience at SUNY & being expelled - if & how that changed his life trajectory.

@Kitty8791 yeah The Virgin Suicides was a decent book and movie. I'd love to hear him talk about The Faculty and although I've already watched Lucky Number Slevin with his commentary it'd be nice to hear his thoughts looking back at working with that great cast.

They absolutely are not. The amount of ‘I did theater to come out of my shell’ Stories are endless.

LOL

After what

His best one ever is being interviewed by his sisters Rain & Summer on their podcast 'Launch Left'.

Yasss 💜💜💜

I really liked him before I found out he was vegan and years later I'm still watching each thing he's in when it comes.

lol His older brother was exactly the same

@@Elena-er7zp Prince was a vegan animal activist too and also a one of a kind superstar. I grew up in Minnesota in the 80s, so Prince has a special place in my memories.

Flea was very good friends with his brother River. I remember a while back, Flea had to record a bass lesson on video (tape back then). And had River do it with him because he was so timid and nervous to do it alone. Wouldn't doubt if it's on RU-vid.

Flea, John Frusciante and Joaquin basically all have the same voice

​@@christophersherman5007 One of my all time favorite movies, another Gus Van Sant production, My Own Private Idaho, starred River Phoenix, Keanu Reeves, & Michael Balzary (aka Flea). They seem to have become much closer friends during filming, but shared a musical connection too.

The I'm Still Here thing? Yeah I didn't see it til after hearing what it really was and even then I thought it was a hard watch being so cringy.

Super old news. Entirely a joke. No mystery there, just Casey Affleck and Joaquin trolling the entire planet. Not many people got it. But. That’s people for ya!🤷🏻‍♂️

Check out the Sisters Brothers with John C Reilly ⭐️

I’d say it was on par with the killing of Ana Lucia on LOST 👏

by asking probably. they do know the same people, if not each other

@@obscure.reference one of them said towards the end of the interview that Rooney got him his dog so I think he's friends with them
