Is there some Zach Galifianakis biopic in the works that he's boning up for?

Better yet, Zack Galifinakis can play Joaquin in the Joaquin biopic that shows how he flushed his career down the toilet.

That's what I'm thinking.

The whole near his crotch adds a certain amount of class.

Well, after watching THIS video, I don't see how anyone could NOT think it's fake. It's all staged. For supposedly good actors, neither Joaquin or Casey Affleck do a very good job of selling this.

that's what we call tongue-in-cheek.

Oh, how sweet of them. If only it were funny/amusing in the slightest.

it's not? then why did I laugh?

if it's a publicity stunt, it worked... now after seeing he's a nut, his performances are so much more interesting to me now.

Tony Clifton, ladies and germs...

That mother fucker is out of his mind.

I think this is funny.

From IMDB:

"Joaquin Phoenix's rap career is all part of an elaborate hoax, according to the eccentric movie star's closest pals. The two-time Oscar nominee recently announced he was turning his back on acting to follow his musical dreams, and he followed up the shock news with a zany three-song debut as a rapper at a Las Vegas nightclub.

During his performance on 16 January, which was captured on film by his actor brother-in-law Casey Affleck, Phoenix appeared to have a public meltdown before falling off the stage.

But pals insist the Walk The Line star knows exactly what he's doing - and his performance was all part of an "art project".

One close friend tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "He said, 'It's a put-on. I'm going to pretend to have a meltdown and change careers, and Casey is going to film it.'

"It's an art project for him. He's going full out. He probably has told his reps that he's quit acting. Joaquin is very smart. This is very conscious. He has a huge degree of control."

genius. oh and how are casey and joaquin related? who married who's sister?

Casey is married to Summer Phoenix....

Only you will know the answer to that mystery.

Called it.

Well, it would have been genius if he wouldn't have spilled the beans.

"How did it feel changing your name from Cat Stevens to Yusef Islam? See ya Scorsese on coke!"

Apparently... Phoenix's Rap Plans Are For Real

I'm sure his PUBLICIST thinks it's for real...they're always the last to know.

Was he pulling a prank on Letterman?

I felt sorry for him when he did Letterman last night.

He was ticked off and he all he gave was one word answers.

That was very funny. "Joaquin, I'm sorry you couldn't be here tonight."

does anyone else think this is rather disrespectful towards his dead brother?
