Can I Tell You How Glad I Am That Joaquin Phoenix is a Real Actor Again?

Because I am. Do you guys remember all that “Bye! Good” business that went down a few years ago when Joaquin took a vacation from sanity and tried to be all avant garde with his acting career, trying out rapping and filming shit-filled mockumentaries with Casey Affleck (the younger brother of Ben Affleck)? Because oh, I do. And I couldn’t wait for the ruse to end, because I always had a soft spot in my heart for Joaquin, pretty much ever since ‘Signs’.

Over the last two years, he’s gone from gross to god-like and has emerged victorious. Now he’s doing a movie called ‘The Master’, which, from IMDB, sounds like it’s going to be about a religious cult, maybe. The above trailer tells a different story, but the film’s got Joaquin, Amy Adams, Laura Dern, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, so I’m sure it’s going to be pretty damn good whatever it’s about.

I mean, it sure beats the hell out of this, at any rate:

GET EXCITED!

  • Couldn’t agree with you more! I saw him first in “To Die For” and I knew then that he was waaaaay more than Joaquim’s little brother. If you haven’t seen it; see it. Can’t wait to see his new film!

  • Wow. Looks like a good movie. Like one I would actually like to see. And I’m not a movie person. I hardly ever watch movies, even at home.

  • Glad to see j.p make his comeback, I hope he has as much success as he has recieved in past films but I hope he doesn’t take it for granted. With that said, I truly feel he wont make the same mistake twice. Best of lck J.P
