Joaquin Phoenix retires, makes reporter look like a jackass

October 29th, 2008

Honestly, I couldn’t tell if he was kidding or not, but given Pheonix’s reputation for being quite the intense sort of guy, I wouldn’t doubt it for a second. Especially if I was interviewing him on the red carpet. I’d say it’s a loss to the acting world if he really decided to retire, but I’m sure he’ll find a footing in music and do his thing there, or just give it up and come back to acting someday. You know, like Don Johnson.

Notes

The Terminator becomes a bonafide national treasure

Every year, the US Library of Congress selects films of importance for its National Film Registry film preservation project. This year, classic films like The Asphalt Jungle, In Cold Blood, Deliverance, Sergeant York, and others from the early 20th century were added to the list, guaranteeing their physical preservation and a place in national history as significant contributions to our national culture.

Perhaps the most intriguing of the selections, was James Cameron's The Terminator from 1984. It's the only film of this year's selections that still has an active following, including a third sequel due next year and a great (albeit-struggling) TV series airing on broadcast TV. While most sci-fi fans would easily consider the low-budget, visionary flick a classic, it says a lot that the federal government considers it a national treasure worth preserving for all time. I mean, that's, like, forever.
