Okay, that last entry was a lie. Here is why there have been no blogs since November 4. On October 27, acclaimed actor Joaquin Phoenix announced he was retiring from acting to focus on music. For a few days I was okay with this decision, because hey, I like music. But the more I thought about it, the more depressed I became. Can you imagine a world in which the guy from Space Camp and Parenthood is not making movies? What about a world where the guy who was nominated for so many awards for roles as varied as Jimmy Emmett and Commodus is not making movies? WOULD JOHNNY CASH GIVE UP MOVIES FOR MUSIC? Well, maybe. He was Johnny Cash. And Joaquin Phoenix played Johnny Cash; ergo, Joaquin Phoenix should give up movies for music.
NO…don't do this, Molly. Don't get distracted by the possibility that this is a good career move. Think of what you will lose!! What if they were to make Ladder 49 tomorrow -- who would play the role of the young guy mentored by John Travolta? Who will be M. Night Shyamalan's go-to guy? Who will play a supporting role in Hotel Rwanda?
So I've just been really depressed, curled in a corner of my apartment, rocking back and forth and watching Reservation Road over and over. Too depressed to do anything else. So that's why there have been no blogs for the past 14 days.
