Joaquin Phoenix and Crispin Glover: Two Bizarre Celebrities

Why are so many conservatives obsessed with celebrites? Nice use of the word penultimate.

Take Door Number 3, Mike.

I’ll tell ya what they’re smoking.. sweet, sweet domestic cannabis…. not that I would know these things..

And personally I request you cease using words like penultimate…. they make my head hurt…

Can’t wait for Kommunist Kilmer to make his appearance. Looks like YouTube yanked the vids, no longer available.

If I’d have been Dave, I’d have slapped a hairlip on him.

Oh, wait….

Man, I’m with Luva…. Ya know, Letterman and I couldn’t be more opposite in our political beliefs, but I’ve enjoyed him immensely (for the most part) since before he got “prime time”. And frankly, he was rivaling Jack Benny, master of “the pause”, in his interview with Joaquin.

Speaking of Joaquin, between the response/reaction time, the shades and the entire demeanor… I’d say he was high. As opposed to the way older interview of Crispin (aka “Crispie” Glover)… who is first and foremost a comedian… Phoenix (a dramatic actor by trade) came off badly, and Letterman absolutely stellar in handling it. Phoenix was buzzed, and Letterman was not only tolerant, but earned his big bucks off it. Letterman 1, Phoenix 0.

Glover? I think it was preplanned (without telling Letterman producers, of course) A much younger Letterman was still on form, but less apt to take risks. At that earlier part in his career, he probably wanted to divest himself of him quickly. Remember, Carson had retired, and left Letterman in the “late late” night slot…. instead taking his time (after Joan Rivers) to gift Leno with that slot. Letterman, with great ratings, was not happy. A bad performance at this time with Glover was not on the promotion agenda when, most likely, he was being wined and dined by competing networks.

Today, and more secure with his position? I bet he’d work him over but good.

Bottom line? I’d bet Glover’s was a planned performance (with bad timing for Letterman personally) in keeping with signature character of George McFly (released just a year an a half prior). Joaquin probably thought Letterman (now established as Leno competition) would be a breeze, no matter what altered state he was in.

And BOTH made me roar.

BTW… Buffoon? ROTFLMAO!

Glover was hilarious. I remember watching that one live so many years ago. Couldn’t stop laughing. I think what made it so funny was that Letterman wasn’t in on the joke, and thought Glover was really nuts.

Phoenix was just kind of pathetic. He looked completely lost, like he didn’t understand quite what was going on. Probably took too many ludes. I guess that would make him “hip”, eh Larry?

Hehe, you might be right, Mata! ROTFL at the image of Dewey Cox busting in and his drummer saying, “uppers and downers, Dewey. They’re your logical next step!” Maybe Phoenix was in that scene, hiding behind the toilet!

fit fit is offended because he knows that celebrities (mostly) support his point of view. Given the fact there is enough whack-jobs to fill an E television series called “E true Hollywood stories”, it may become embarrassing at some point, for left elitists, to associate themselves with the popularly deluded minority. For example, screech started off as an innocent slap stick role on Saved by the Bell, and ended up trying to make money selling his own pornos. I laugh. The left follows.
