Zelig Part II ?

Date:

Unlike Woody Allen‘s fictional character, the one that actor Joaquin Phoenix (Walk the Line) is playing in his latest role, can’t seem to go incognito. Adding to his countless public follies, yesterday’s stage(d) dive in public is either the best way to go about hiring extras for crowd scenes or is a great social experiment on “celebrity” (another Allen-titled film) and fame being lived out in the public eye (I draw many comparisons to the the Kevin Federline phenomena). If Casey Affleck processes the material to come up with a mockumentary or some celeb-experimental film, either way at this stage of the game I’m in.
