Joaquin Phoenix Is "Still Here"

phoenix0810.jpg Seems like just yesterday we were wondering if Joaquin Phoenix had totally gone off the deep end, or if he was just getting really deep in to character for whatever he was filming with Casey Affleck. Either way, time went by and the world forgot about his antics... until now. The actor's face started popping up again recently in the style of Shepard Fairey, a street art name now synonymous with marketing and promotion. And indeed, there is something to promote—it appears Phoenix intends to rise again with the release of his latest film, I'm Still Here. It was filmed by Affleck in a documentary-style, but something tells us we're all being Blair Witched.

The film will be hitting big screens on September 10th, and something tells us Phoenix will only be stepping out from behind the curtain in character during his press run.

    Not too soon, just bad execution... you didn't even get his name right.

    Like the metaphorical fame clock of Steven Slater, Phoenix's clock is now at 21 minutes. Yawn.
