Yes I did, and I'm sure he was high on something. He seemed pissed off for somethin too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstickbonzo Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Who knew playing Cash would turn you into such a loon.. or has he fooled us all? Edited to Add: Casey Affleck is putting together a documentary chronicling his transition from films to music so I would not be surprised if this was entirely staged for comedic purposes for the film. I extremely doubt anyone close to Joaquin would let him get into the stuff that bad...but I've been wrong before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanna be drummer Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Yeah, I thought for a while that he was pulling a joke, but he seemed legitimately mad near the end, so I'm leaning towards he was high and pissed off. But I've been wrong in my life as well. Once or twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrophile Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Dude was totally trippin' balls. Which hey, if that's what you want to do with your life so be it......just don't go on TV looking like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longdistancewinner Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Saw this on YouTube. If it was an act, and it's likely, he did a good job of acting like an arse. Can't say it impressed me. His constant sighing and mumbling was starting to piss me off and I thought it seemed a bit cliche. He seemed like he was doing impersonations of various drugged up musicians - at times he reminded me of Bob Dylan in his early years. If it wasn't an act, why, oh, why did the show let him go on in the first place? Didn't they know it'd be risky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spats Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 It was a act. Casey affleck has been filming all of his recent idiot behavior. he would not have been allowed to go out there if he was really seriously messed up. And i get the feeling Dave was in on it. because a lot of Dave's comeback comments were a little to quick to be believed. Phoenix was just channeling Andy Kaufman and Crispin Glover.

Zanadu Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Wowza Anybody else catch this interview? Either he's pulling an Andy Kauffman or he's taken one too many drugs. You decide. If Joaquin was just acting, he was splendid as usual but I don't get the jokes. However, if Joaquin really wasn't well and David Letterman was exploiting him and laughing at his misery, then I feel nothing but loathing and hate towards Letterman!

At the end of the interview as he was leaving he took off his glasses and gave letterman a firm handshake and said something to him. Probably saying "thanks for playing along".

Kat24 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Wowza Anybody else catch this interview? Either he's pulling an Andy Kauffman or he's taken one too many drugs. You decide. I don't think he's acting. I think he's on something and it's sad. Just sad. I'd be happy if I'm wrong on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Wowza Anybody else catch this interview? Either he's pulling an Andy Kauffman or he's taken one too many drugs. You decide. He was a bit out of it to say the least. Has some serious issues as I've heard over the past several months. I guess it runs in the family. Look what happened to his older brother River back in 1993. He overdosed at the Viper Club in L.A., at the age of 23. Such a loss and talent. Hopefully Joaquin straightens himself out, as he's been quoted as saying he's leaving acting.

electricmage Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 It's all an act, there were glimmers of laughter/smiling at the things that Dave was saying that got to him. He couldn't help smiling on one or two occasions. And whoever said Letterman was too quick with is responses, doesn't know David Letterman. He's a sharp guy. That handshake at the end sealed the deal for me that it was an act. Watch Joaquin on youtube and you can find some other appearances with Dave.

Roxie Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I've read it's all a big act as well. If anyone could pull it off, it would be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldilocks Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I've read it's all a big act as well. If anyone could pull it off, it would be him. Agreed. He's such a marvelous method actor. He totally could pull off "unstable". I still think he should've won the Oscar for "Walk the Line." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie1971 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I thought his appearance was absolutely hilarious, and I do think it's an act, though the fact that we can't be certain about that is evidence of how great an actor he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I don't think pretending to be thwacked out of your gourd on national television makes one a good actor. He did two decent movies; Gladiator and Walk the Line. You all are making it sound like we're watching the second coming of Pacino or something.

Well he hasn't been around as long as Pacino, so only time will tell (and a willingness to continue acting if this isn't all a big goof) if he reaches that level. With the two aforementioned movies, so far, so good. I would say that simply because this latest character (?) is whacked out and perhaps not very extroverted doesn't mean he isn't doing a great acting job. It isn't as much about who the character is, as it's about how accurately you perform them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
