Joaquin Phoenix is still here, people, and so is his movie trailer for I'm Still Here.
So, uh, do you care?
The maybe-serious, maybe-not documentary has been attracting attention for the now-retired star's bizarre appearance and behavior, as well as a pair of lawsuits filed against director Casey Affleck, but now we can decide for ourselves whether this looks like a good film. Or not.
The setup for the trailer is simple: A series of shots that show the Oscar winner in a variety of situations—riding in a limo, performing onstage, standing shirtless in a doorway—while a voice intones some heavy s--t about being a drop of water on a mountain, and we daydream about watching The Expendables again.
Maybe that's just us. What about you: Does this look some deep, delicious entertainment or a bunch of celebrity twaddle that's neither funny nor deep?
