Joaquin, Surrealist (Continued)


Earlier we wrote about Joaquin Phoenix quitting acting, or more likely staging some sort of weird surrealist piece of performance art, the details of which have yet to be revealed...

But then he showed up at a film festival in Los Angeles with the above message written across his fingers.

"Bye! Good"

Hmmm. Well, what does that mean? I've got a few theories:

1. Joaquin thinks that there is nothing wrong with a good enthusiastic good-bye
2. Joaquin is trying to help out the economy by telling us to simply "Buy Goods." Of course, his spelling is all off and the extraneous punctuation makes this a little unbelievable (but only a little...)
3. Joaquin meant to say "Good-bye!" but he's holding his hands out the wrong way- or he wrote on them while looking in the mirror, and if there's one thing that the 2008 election taught us it's that you shouldn't write on yourself while looking in the mirror.
Anyway, this whole thing is weird to me, and I'm a weird dude, I'm also easily duped, but not by this.

We'll keep you posted.
