Department of not-really-being-there

Joaquin Phoenix deepens and reinforces his awesome slide into the confusing genius of Kauffman / Rourke and provides the masses with one of the most awesomely surreal interviews ever. Dave Letterman, far from being confused, enjoys the absurdity like a champ.

Just plain magnificent. Long life Joaquin, our absent overlord.

Joaquin: pulling a Rourke

Now that Mr. Rourke came back from the death with the awesome double punch of Sin City and The Wrestler, it looks like Joaquín Phoenix wants to follow him in the opposite direction. This time is retiring from acting to begin a career as... rap singer?

I won´t be the first to say that this might be more of a pulling an Andy Kauffman than a true Rourkian move, and the whole thing is a big joke to mess with Perez Hilton´s hairdo. In any case, if it is a fake, it is simply awesome.
