Seriously? OMG! WTF?

After months of rumors that Joaquin Phoenix is going to star as The Joker in an origins film, Warner Bros confirmed today that it is a go today according to The Hollywood Reporter. No word when the Todd Phillips directed film will be coming out, but it is slated to begin filming in September.

What about Jared Leto’s Joker from Suicide Squad? That feature is still in the works. Because what does Hollywood need more of? They need more movies from DC Comics and Marvel. Says fewer and fewer moviegoers.

Back to Phoenix as The Joker, I think it is a bad choice. Ever since his stupid stunt for a movie that totally sucked, I lost all respect for him. He is crazy enough to play the villain but he does not have the same charm as Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger who have also played the iconic role.

One of the most memorable interviews ever to happen on late night television was when Joaquin Phoenix went on The Late Show as his rap star alter ego and gave David Letterman his most awkward sit downs. Yesterday, when the TV host was on Howard Stern’s radio show the Shock Jock wanted to know if he knew that was going to happen. Letterman told him, “I knew what he was doing ahead of time.” Did he enjoy it? He said, “I did enjoy it because it was like getting your work in on the heavy bag. It was easy. It was batting practice.” And with that that whole moment was ruined.

But it does not stop there, Letterman also admitted that he knew Jerry Lawler was going to punch Andy Kaufman during that shocking confrontation. He revealed that the late brilliant comic always let him know what he was going to do on the show beforehand.

Just like wrestling, late night TV is fake and my bubble has been busted. I am so sad.

But what makes me happy is listening to the full interview where Letterman held nothing back about his life in late night television like how crazy the publicists are and so much more.

Before Joaquin Phoenix was the big brother in Signs, he was the little brother in Backwards The Riddle of Dyslexia. How cute was the 9 year old acting with his brother, River Phoenix, in that 1984 Afterschool Special?

David Letterman was brave enough to have Joaquin Phoenix on his show for a second time after that infamous interview, and the actor did another crazy thing on The Late Show yesterday.
Phoenix told the CBS late night host that he has met “The One” and he asked her to marry him. Then he made the announcement that he is engaged. Everyone was so happy for him, but the only thing is that he lied.
This morning he got real with Good Morning America and explained, “I think like my life’s so boring, and it seemed like something exciting to talk about, and I wanted the audience to like me.” Then he added, “They really like people getting married.” If the press is sad that he is not betrothed, then he offered, “I can get engaged again, if you like.” Like we will believe him if he really said he was going to married after this fake out.
And talking about fake outs, you know the expression ” Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” I am sure that is going through Letterman’s mind right about now. That and he is probably so happy he is retiring, so he doesn’t ever have to interview that eccentric actor again. I can’t believe he had him on the show after that wacky interview he did for his atrocious movie I’m Still Here.
