Word on the underground is J.P. just got tapped to play The Joker in The Sequel to The Dark Knight…
Batman :Arkham Asylum…
With Robert Downey Jr. doing a very Burgess Merideth esque Penguin

All Of the Joker scenes take place in an Psyche Cell
with Batman interviewing Joker ala Hannible Lecter from Manhunter.

He’s a typical a-hole actor. We all know that he isn’t retiring, and this is some kind of big joke. He just seems like a dick in the interview with Jerry Penacole.

How very typical.

He should have quit while he was ahead after Parenthood.

Yeah, Joaquin is weird. Remember that story where he said he had been saved from a car wreck by Werner Herzog?

As long as Joaquin goes on an all-star tour with Dogstar and 30 Seconds to Mars, I’m in! Er, wait a sec …

Unless there is some kind of retirement plan that actors have, then you actually can’t actually retire from this business, right? Does he get a gold watch or some sort of pension? Retired or not, he will get residuals from his till he dies. One of the only retirements I’d accept is death.

“is this really how they would announce it to the world? By writing it on their knuckles in black marker?”

Not only that, but with the words reversed so that it actually reads “BYE! GOOD”?

I never believe anyone who says they’re retiring from whatever they are currently doing because they always come back. [Athletes tend to be exempt from this rule, but you still get the occasional athlete returning to his or her game after retiring.]

Joaquin Phoenix has always been a weirdo. Anyone Remember when he was in that one interview where he asked the reporter if he had a frog on his head?
