Can anyone else decipher if Joaquin Phoenix is seriously cracked out or if this is all just a ruse? Before seeing this segment, I heard rumblings about Phoenix faking his retirement for a mockumentary (Casey Affleck has been following him around with a camera). If that’s the case, then this is a pretty brave performance (on the condition that Letterman wasn’t in on it).

Then again, if the dude has just lost his mind/replaced it with drugs, this is an incredibly sad public document.

Then again, again, you can’t beat Letterman. “High praise coming from you.” “I’ll come to your house and chew gum.” Classic. What do you think? Insanity or Brilliance?
