Apparently it's not. After you mentioned hairlip, I looked it up on the wikipedia and it says Joaquin's actually healed while he was in the womb. If it's on the wikipedia, it MUST be trueDrunken Idaho wrote:I always assumed it was a hairlip scar.
In fact, not too long ago we were discussing the same scar when someone mentioned Joaquin Phoenix as a good candidate to play Duncan Idaho. I pondered if that would be a good idea, considering the serial gholas would all have the same scar, and we weren't sure if a cleft pallette would repeat or not.
But now, after seeing this, I'm not sure if I want him anywhere near a Dune film.

Did anyone else see Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman tonight? Hilarious!
At one point Letterman asked Phoenix a few leading questions to get him to talk about what he was doing now that he no longer acts. Phoenix managed to grumble out that he would like to do some of "his music" on the show, and Letterman said "Well, that seems unlikely, doesn't it?"
Phoenix was playing some strange game, acting like he was a brain-damaged moron, and Letterman was taking pot-shots at him all night. Phoenix got all uppity and stuck his gum under Letterman's desk. Letterman ended the night by saying "Shame you couldn't be here tonight, Joachim."
He came off like a real asshole.

I saw that, if he didn't want to talk why go on the show? IMO Phoenix seemed out of it, either on drugs or just mental.
I was shocked.

He's faking a breakdown for attention/publicity/boredom...
He knows exactly what he's doing and it's already getting old.
Although that interview was probably the most hilariously awkward interview ever. Dave is always so quick.

Yeah, there's something feeshy going on about all this. It doesn't feel like the breakdown is the story. Something else is beneath the surface. But who really cares, as long as it makes for a good laugh at the expense of Phoenix. Just be ready for the big Scooby Doo reveal

there are rumours that he was in character for an upcoming mockumentary and they were using his appearance on Letterman to get some good footage for it.

It's not even decent rapping.
Definitely some elaborate set-up.

Well then, I hope so, because I admire his work and he is/was an excellent actor.Tleszer wrote:Seems like an elaborate prank to me. His appearance on Letterman was hilarious.

I hate it when people mention Gladiator as a movie this or that actor/ess played in to make them look good. It's was a mediocre movie at best in regards to performances. Not sure what were the other things great in it either.
The reason I'm mentioning this, apart from Phoenix being in it and it being mentioned at the start of the thread, is that I've been preparing today's newspapers at work(the night shift get them at about 2 AM and prepers them for the morning) and on each one there was an ad for some new Jeoff Goldblum movie(something with a Holocaust survivor in it) and among others, Derek Jacoby.
And what did they put in the little brackets beneath his name and image? Yep, "Gladiator".
I can ignore the fact that Geoff is summed up as "Jurassic Park", even William Depo(sp?) as "Spiderman"(a shame really for such a fine actor), but Jacoby, who played a rather obscure supporting role in that movie has to be summed in that manner? Shameful, that's what it is.
And to me, Derek is always remembered first and foremost as Claudius("I, Claudius").

In memory of Perach, who suffered and died needlessly.
I wish I could have been with you that one last time.

And yeah, that's pretty pathetic, but those things are always just used as selling points. Either they'll go for the most popular movie they've been in, or they'll specify a movie that appeals to the same target demographic. It's not about recommending the best role a specific actor has played, but rather drawing more people in to see the movie you're advertising. I mean, for all we know, Goldblum's best performance was some obscure indie film in the 70's or something... They're not going to list it just because it was his best role, especially when no one has even heard of it.
Besides...

Jeff Goldblum's best role was his first, as Freak #1 in the original Death Wish with Charles Bronson.
