Bergen Jet Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 He was a very good actor IMO and he was smart enough to not take every crap role that was offered to him (though he did have a few). Over/Under on how long until he makes his return? I say he will be filming a movie within 30 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 He was OK in Gladiator, other than that I can't remember a movie worth watching that he was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 He was OK in Gladiator, other than that I can't remember a movie worth watching that he was in. Really? He nailed the whole Johnny Cash thing and was really good in Signs as well. I am sure the money will draw him back eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 In other news from two days ago, there's an election coming up. Stay tuned for details. This was the first I saw it, so I am glad that he posted it. I guess I don't have the TMZ subscription either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Really? He nailed the whole Johnny Cash thing and was really good in Signs as well. I am sure the money will draw him back eventually. I liked him with Travolta in Ladder 46 as well. Just a matter of time before he's back into it. Too much money to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaoulDuke Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 That's too bad. I always thought he gave genuine performances. Maybe he'll go behind the camera or produce... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHector Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 He was OK in Gladiator, other than that I can't remember a movie worth watching that he was in. In addition to the other ones mentioned, I thought "We Own the Night" was pretty good... He also killed it in "Space Camp": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 musicians can become pretty good actors but actors to be taken as serious musicians? It never happens....take your millions and stick with what you do best Joaquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alk Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 The Village was terrible. I had never felt so cheated at a movie as I did when they jumped that fence and landed in the street nearly getting hit by a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garb Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 He was really good in To Die For. His impersonation of a typical male Jetnation type poster was spot on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsis Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 He was really good in To Die For. His impersonation of a typical male Jetnation type poster was spot on!

Arsis Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think Kathy Bates did a great Garb impersonation in Misery, almost spot on. Well I think John Mathuszak(Sloth) did a great Arsis impression in the Goonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garb Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think Kathy Bates did a great Garb impersonation in Misery, almost spot on. Sh*t! My secret is out! I AM Kathy Bates! Here's a scene from the video. It leads to the Arsis type character losing her virginity - and ultimately a life sentence in prison and a life partner named Bubba. CzgZp6t1PNY btw - responding to your own post just helps my comparison, don't yah think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetophile Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 He said 'like'. A shame. And I'm thinking his fist paint is in homage to 'Night of the Hunter'. Only now he appears too dumb to know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetophile Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I felt awful when River Phoenix died. It was even more awful hearing Joaquin Phoenix screeching on the phone to 911. Total tragedy which he never talks about. But, total tragedy on top of it because River Phoenix was very talented and we'll never know what would he would have accomplished. Joaquin was great in 'Quills' and of course, 'Gladiator'. He'll flake out for a while and then probably come back and direct. Or something even more predictable than that. 'Announcements'. Just shut up and hermit yisself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
