Joaquin Phoenix’s forehead has its own tiny, bearded actor

I was shocked and appalled when Joaquin Phoenix’s forehead was overlooked for an Oscar nomination for Her. That’s true talent when your forehead has its own little actor. It’s like an actor within an actor, or else it’s some sort of freakish, disturbing alien growth. You decide!

BTW, the longer you watch this video the funnier it gets. It’s dumb as all hell, true, but hilarious nonetheless. As others point out in the YouTube comments, they don’t think they’ll be able to watch another Joaquin Phoenix film again without staring at his forehead and bursting out in laughter.

You may want to turn down the volume slightly.

The Master: New look at PT Anderson’s upcoming L. Ron Hubbard film

The marketing campaign for director Paul Thomas Anderson’s fictionalized L.Ron Hubbard flick, The Master, is starting to heat up. Yesterday a mysterious trailer with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Joaquin Phoenix was released and it looks like this is going to be a fascinating film.

Here’s all it says on IMDB at present:

“A 1950s-set drama centered on the relationship between a charismatic intellectual known as “the Master” whose faith-based organization begins to catch on in America, and a young drifter who becomes his right-hand man.”

Hoffman as Hubbard is an inspired bit of casting (although I think the ultimate portrayal of Hubbard will come one day from The Mighty Boosh‘s Rich Fulcher) but are Adams and Phoenix supposed to be based on Marjorie Cameron and Jack Parsons? It kinda looks that way.

One of the film’s producer, JoAnne Sellar, denied any connection to Hubbard or Scientology: “It’s a World War II drama. It’s about a drifter after World War II.”

Yeah, right…

With a tense soundtrack from Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood. The Master is scheduled for release on “Crowleymass,” October 12th. I wonder if that is a co-incidence or deliberate?

Sascha Ciezata’s When Herzog Rescued Phoenix is based on a true story told by Werner Herzog.

Ciezeta also made another film with a similar concept called When Lynch Met Lucas which ran into some problems.

My immensely popular animated short film When Lynch Met Lucas was pulled off Vimeo and several other sites by a certain “organization” (who claims to support the arts and artists) with a rather nebulous claim that they own the copyright to the audio portion of my film.

Here’s When Herzog Rescued Phoenix followed by Where’s When Lynch Met Lucas??, which Ciezata shot on his iphone.

Leave it to stubbornly iconoclastic filmmaker Werner Herzog to breathe new life into the well-worn score of Puccini’s “La Boh?ɬ
