I think joaquin phoenix has passed the point of being referred to as river phoenix' brother, no?

I am happy I will be at home on break so I will actually be near a theater to see this.

I don't know about anxiously awaiting, but I'm curious. I saw one awful Hollywood-looking inspirational moment that loosened all my cheese and made me have my doubts about the movie. "Cash" is holding up adorable Reese Witherspoon on stage, who is backlit and beaming in the usual hokey chick romance flick way, looking, well, adorable, as Phoenix looks adoringly up at her. What a wonderful moment! I'm sure I've seen that exact shot in at least a dozen John Travolta movie posters from his own adorable period, as well as on countless other saccharine movie posters. I tell you, it gave me a chill. If the movie Reese Witherspoons it up too much, then Golly! It will be just adorable. I'm not sure that's the tack I want to see a story about this dude take.

Brrr...chills, I tell ya. Just, the chills.

Yes. It could be amazing, or it could be pretty bad.

Yes. He has a gimmick account and River doesn't.

I think so, but it is an arguable point.

Time marches on. I bet there are plenty of people who've never seen River in a movie and don't even know who he is.

Then again, Joacquin isn't exactly a household name either, despite being in some big movies.

i'm a joaquin fan and a cash fan. i'm not totally excited though and it does make me feel a little cheapened to pay money for what was no doubt greenlighted as 'ray 2.0'.
