That movie where someone craps on Joaquin Phoenix’s face
Shawn Norris
Word on the street is the new documentary I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix has some pretty crazy footage of the off-kilter actor. Like that time when he was asleep and someone defecated on the actor’s face.
It seems during the past year, instead of making movies, Joaquin Phoenix has stripped down to his skivvies and dove head first into the crazy pool. Luckily Casey Affleck has taken a camera and documented what seems to be a very dark and twisted time for the Oscar-nominated actor. After filming for a year, the pair are now hitting the studios to see if anyone is interested in picking the film up. And there apparently has been some really, really weird stuff going on for the pair.
Several buyers said the film overflowed with Hollywood debauchery, including more male frontal nudity than you’d find in some gay porn films and a stomach-turning sequence in which someone feuding with Phoenix defecates on the actor while he’s asleep.
So far Hollywood insiders aren’t quite sure what to make of the film. Some say it’s a mocumentary and was just an elaborate piece of satirical art. Others think that maybe the actor just isn’t all there anymore. Either way, the term “career killer” comes to mind when hearing about something like this. I’m pretty sure that someone taking a dump on your face isn’t going to win you that Oscar you’ve had you eye on. But hey, he’ll always have a career a in German pornography.
