Joaquin Phoenix beerbellyJoaquin Phoenix wants you to believe he grew out a shaggy beard and acted crazy and just happened to be caught on tape to make a surreal bio flick.

The odd “I’m Still Here” movie staring Phoenix and directed by his buddy Casey “The Sexual Harasser” Affleck started awhile back when Phoenix began acting weird, grew a Zach Galifianakis beard and becomea rapper.

Of course a camera crew followed him around the entire time so it’s not like there’s a huge surprise to us that this semi-scripted biopic was designed from the beginning and may be trying too hard to get attention.

Whatever. I can honestly say unless there’s some really hot lesbian pillow fights I don’t know about or Joaquin digs up his brother River to take to a high school prom or possibly Spacecamp (that would be a great sequel) that I will probably skip out on this.

Maybe it’s epic and I just don’t see it. I mean, I’m still surprised that Point Break didn’t win an Academy Award for awesomeness so what do I know.
