Joaquin Phoenix Displays An Uncanny Sense Of Comedic Timing

Joaquin Phoenix made an appearance on the David Letterman show either to promote his new film, or to further confuse us about his apparent bout with insanity. I almost fell out of my chair when Dave made reference to the Unabomber, channeling our own brilliant k dubbing Joaquin as the "Unarapper". Great minds think alike.

Although Dave poked fun at Joaquin, his rapping and his appearance (especially his beard), Joaquin did a good job of playing the straight man. While some might suggest he was out of it, it was pretty obvious to the observant that the jokes were planned.

That said, Joaquin is OFF the reservation. Dude has a great talent and this foray into hip hop isn't just strange, it's WEIRD.

Any guesses as to what he's up to? He claims he's serious, but really? Color me skeptical.
