Joaquin Phoenix is done making movies

[MikePizzoff]

He wants to concentrate on doing music. He's not a bad singer, so lets see what he can produce. http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movi....ap/index.html

Well, I'm sure this might have a few people frothing at the mouth, but I say let the guy do what he likes and best of luck to him. Though, I like some of the stuff he's done, so I certainly wish he'd have taken a more conservative approach to getting further into music, while doing some roles here or there.

I get the feeling, somehow, drug use may have influenced his decision.

[Bub666]

I say he'll be back to making movies in a year.

[MikePizzoff]

I get the feeling, somehow, drug use may have influenced his decision. Very true.

I predict he will have a great career as a musician & never go back to acting again, just like those former actors that became musicians who blazed a trail before him such as Russell Crowe & Keannu Reeves...

I get the feeling, somehow, drug use may have influenced his decision. That's priceless. If that's true, hopefully he won't follow in his brother's footsteps. If not, he'll probably be back to acting before we know it.

It just seems odd. He was truely a rising star. He wasn't quite "A-List" yet, but he was well on his was with the roles he was being given. Ah well, do what you love I guess?

Looks like his new career is going well. Here he is falling off the stage.

this made me litterally "laugh out loud" Looks like his new career is going well. Here he is falling off the stage. Wow. I don't know how the world got by for so long without a talent like that. It's good that he quit acting. Music like is too important not to be shared. Kinda like a drunken Jim Morrison doing a bad reggae/rap act. The fall off the stage was the best part.

[AcesandEights]

Here he is falling off the stage. Damn, son... Well, another year of this and maybe we can get a comeback out of him.

[ProfessorChaos]

wow. wtf is going on with this dude? either he's burnt himself out with some heavy drug usage or he's taking his acting trade to a new level...

I personally think it's an act. The timing of his awkwardness is just too perfect to not be.

I personally think it's an act. The timing of his awkwardness is just too perfect to not be. I'm inclined to agree.
