shocking

so, Casey Affleck apparently decided to "come clean" and admitted that the self-destruction formerly known as Joaquin Phoenix was all fake.

Apparently this:


is just what we call method acting.

my favorite line (for many reasons) from the article linked to above is “I never intended to trick anybody,” said Mr. Affleck, an intense 35-year-old who spoke over a meat-free, cheese-free vegetable sandwich on Thursday. “The idea of a quote, hoax, unquote, never entered my mind.”

(thank you, New York Times, for pointing out in the most awkward way possible that he's a vegan. And now, seriously Affleck? You never intended to "trick" anybody? Wasn't that kind of the whole goddamn point of him being in character for two years straight?)

Of course, the real problem for them is this: As people who formerly ADORED Joaquin Phoenix (seriously, he might have made our "people we could have cheated on significant others with" lists. good thing we didn't laminate them), I think I can speak for all the 3pies4rolls ladies when I say "yawn." What you have succeeded in doing is make me not only not care about Joaquin anymore, but actively dislike him. The revelation that it was all a fake does not make that go away; in fact, it pretty much just ups the douchebag quotient in my opinion of him. So, um, congratulations guys, on making a film that has pretty much been panned by critics and that destroyed the fan base of its star. Well done.

And, just cause I feel like it, I am once again going to show this picture and link to the amazing Cracked.com feature, Bearded Insanity: The Phoenix Chronicles.



take your crazy somewhere else.
