Finally, FINALLY, this "Joaquin Phoenix the eccentric rapper" thing is starting to make sense. It's still impossible to determine whether it's serious or a big put-on, but after his appearance on Letterman last night, at least it's become entertaining. Walking out in a suit, shades, and the full hobo beard, Phoenix sat with Dave for about 10 minutes, chewing on a piece of gum and stumbling and fidgeting his way through an interview in which he failed to have more than two-word answers to the most basic of questions. Phoenix seemed genuinely befuddled that Dave asks about his beard, his decision to leave acting, and his latest movie, Two Lovers, and appears actually confused and hurt that Dave, and the crowd, refuse to buy into the insanity of it all. It's humorous at first, and the audience laughs (nervously, at times) every step of the way, prompting Phoenix -- again, surprised that he's being taken as a joke -- to ask Dave of his audience, "What do you gas them up with?"
