So, apparently, the folks over at Defamer are calling shenanigans on Joaquin Phoenix's retirement from acting to pursue a rap career: They think Casey Affleck's supposed interest in capturing this career suicide on tape is actually a giant hoax, which will result in a mockumentary being released. It's all rather bizarre and intriguing.
Personally, I want it to be true, and to end in grand fashion when his album is a runaway hit thanks to a rap single called "Jinx Put Max In Space" -- a loving and long-overdue homage to starring in Space Camp (the B-side, of course, being "Be My Shuttle Commander," a poignant ode to the hotness of co-star Lea Thompson). But the very absurdity of the entire conceit, coupled with some of the circumstances Defamer outlines, certainly smells fishier than a tuna milkshake. Regardless of what the truth is, SOMETHING weird is happening.

However, why ANY of it requires Joaquin Phoenix to reimagine himself as the Unabomber is totally beyond me.
