Letterman "Interviews" Joaquin Phoenix

We admit it: We don’t know what the fuck is going on. Is Joaquin Phoenix an irrepressible drunk? Anne Heche-level crazy? Pulling one over on all of us? This generation’s most brilliant comedian? We just can’t tell. But he is amusing us lately. Although last night’s appearance on Letterman had very little to do with him. He could have been replaced by a Santa Bear with a beard and half-assed dreadlocks to pretty much the same effect. Last night was all about Dave, who, surprisingly, is still pretty damn funny. But we’re still confused. Is this is all part of some sort of ruse that Joaquin is pulling on us? Was it all a set-up? He did grow up in a commune, so he’s probably pretty well versed in performance art. But this, this is so subtle. Only when Joaquin covers himself in cat feces and walks onto the NBC nightly news reciting e.e. cummings will he be a true artist.
