Real or put-on, this is a disaster, a bratty, self-indulgent demand to be paid attention to, complete with the expectation that it will be paid attention to, because celebrity simply really is that irresistible no matter what it’s doing…
Every week my browser gets cluttered up with tabs for stuff that I stumble across and figure I might be able to use as a Question of the Day or a WTF Thought for the Day or grist for some other post…
Catfish and I’m Still Here haven’t even opened yet, and already the filmmakers are having to defend their authenticity.
So, Joaquin Phoenix chucks his acting career in favor of one as a rapper. And Casey Affleck is there to document it. Or is it all a fake?
