WORST IDEA 9/17/10: Joaquin Phoenix’s ‘I’m Still Here’ hoax

So Joaquin Phoenix gives up two years as a nearly A-list movie star to film a documentary where he pretends to be a lousy rapper? This would be an excellent joke if anyone had believed it was real, but since nobody did, it's just sad. I know it's supposed to be Andy Kaufman-esque, but guess what, Kaufman wasn't funny either when he did his crazy schtick. What's next Phoenix's careeer as wrestler or his dying of stomach cancer only to pop out of the coffin at his own funeral?
