Oh Dear...

For those of you who were curious just how well Joaquin Phoenix's rapping career is panning out, here's a fan video from a recent performance he gave in Las Vegas. It works out about as well as you'd expect:



-Somebody please tell me this isn't real. Please tell me that isn't an actor I respect and admire making a total 
ass of himself onstage (it is). And please tell me that's not Casey Affleck, another actor I respect and admire, 
documenting the travesty like it's the coolest thing ever (it's not). Please tell me it's all going to turn out that 
this is just a sad, sad practical joke. 
This is a sad moment for film enthusiasts. But maybe I'm blowing this out of proportion. What's your take?

  1. My take is this is going to be the funniest documentary of all time

  2. I think a wannabe white rapper found a portal in to Joaquin Phoenix' brain and took control of his body making him change his career to one of a rapper. That would be the only explanation.

  3. Oh My Actual God! I am so embarassed for him, which is a presumptuous thing to say. I couldn't even watch it in its entirety. Not only can I not stand rap, but I thought he would do something perhaps a bit more grunge or folk/pop, not this! Anything but this! I'll say the same thing while watching Borat "Oh please make it stop!"

  4. I respect Casey Affleck so much, he is one of my favorite actors. I just hope that he really doesn't want to do this, but his wife is making him.

  5. Joaquin Phoenix is to rap as Spinal Tap is to heavy metal.

  6. Something's telling me it's for some weird, amazingly funny documentary. Just wait a year or so, it'll be awesome.

  7. Actually, if they play the documentary as comedy, it could end up being really funny. We'll see...

  8. Joaquin Phoenix would've won an Oscar one day. Now he won't win one... or a grammy.
