I’m Still Here trailer, you guys:

Memorable Quotes (via IMDB): “This is you. A clown. And you’re a mountain clown. But then one day you go to the store and it’s full of other clowns. It’s the Whole Foods near your house in Beverly Hills. And you think ‘I don’t belong here. I’m a mountain clown. I don’t belong in this Whole Foods with the other clowns.’ And then you evaporate in your car back to your mansion and have your chef prepare you something to eat, because you left the Whole Foods quickly without buying anything. And it’s in that moment that you realize that your chef deserves a raise. Now you are in the air, higher than any mountaintop, high on cocaine. Life is a journey that goes round and round. So enjoy the journey, in the back of a limo, apparently, since this movie suggests that the entire journey, and maybe also the entire movie, takes place in a limo. God.”

  1. I woke up this morning with one of those panics you get after having a really bad dream. I looked over, and my wife was lying next to me, asleep. I looked around the room, my heart pounding. Something was missing, but I couldn’t figure out what. Now I know. Thank you Gabe, for letting me know my beloved Joaquin is still among us.

  2. Do you think that footage of him in the studio with Diddy is them trying to come up with the rhyme “Mountain Top Water Drop?”

  3. For once, “FAKE” seems appropriate.

  4. This trailer just looks all kinds of smelly.

  5. Doesn’t the term “teaser” mean that it’s teasing me with something I want to see?

  6. Oh, is this that movie about how Joaquin Phoenix didn’t take a shower for two years? Cool. One Fandango, please.

  7. I don’t understand why being an “artist” means not showering. Can’t artists be clean?

    • Hi Stella79! I’ll take this one:
      Being an artist can often mean refusing the status quo to force necessary change. But it can become hard to distinguish between those elements in the status quo worth refusing (moral, creative, political conventions) and those worth continuing (hygiene, good will, humour). So, some well meaning artists can end up smelling quite unwell. It’s usually temporary.
      Flick looks good.

  8. “And then, on its way down the mountain, that water drop picks up other water drops. And they become unstoppable. They’re a force of nature. They’re a river, Phoenix.

    “…Oh, shit, I’m so sorry, Joaquin. Oh my God. I’m so inconsiderate. River Phoenix. Oh, shit, please, you get to punch me once, anywhere you want.”

  9. I certainly would not say I was excited or anxiously awaiting this movie’s release but I would be lying if I denied it piques my interests.

    However, this trailer is insulting.

    It’s been tough times in the cabbage patch and I wish, for the life of me, I could go on a drug and alcohol fueled melt down/flame out as a search for myself in the bottom of the gutter. Unfortunately, I am not a millionaire so I can’t. If I delve any deeper I’ll just die a street rat and only my fleas will mourn me (Disney jokes).

    This is the same thing that irks me to no end about Eat, Pray, Love. Of course I want to go on a selfish year-long journey of self-discovery around the globe but I don’t have a fucking BOOK ADVANCE with which to play. I guess my point is: these stories are the worst stories. We’re just all buying into the notion that the only source of happiness is money and you need money to find even post-materialistic value in your life so shut up and get back to work you loser, you can discover yourself later when you’re rich and learn to be a self-centered asshole.

    Maybe I’ll just torch my shit and move to Alaska.

    • I don’t want to take Joaquin’s side… I seriously don’t. But I’m pretty sure the whole point of this is to make fun of those types of journeys? I mean, no one really believes he was trying to become a rapper right? So why believe any other part of the trailer. Eat, Pray, Love on the other hand…

    • Coincidentally, those are the same reasons I didn’t enjoy Batman Begins.

  10. I think it is funny (not funny) that if you’re crazy Joaquin, you get a movie, but when I don’t shower for two years and act belligerently towards strangers, I get restraining orders. Humph.

  11. Joaquin Phoenix was straight clownin’ on errybody. JPho was wylin’ out on top of that mountain. Movie looks dope and I’ll def see it.

    So let’s recap: Joaquin Phoenix can act like a rapper and will get a movie deal. An internet commenter can act like a rapper and nothing will happen. Fair enough.

  12. The Thomas Beatie angle was unexpected.

  13. On the premise- Thumbs down, like in Gladiator.
    As far as the film itself is concerned- Who knows? I can’t say the movie’s bad. I haven’t seen it.

  14. He couldn’t be more self-absorbed if he was born half-Bounty, half-spill.

  15. I’m just glad they got Zach Galifianakis to play the lead role. Smart casting, Hollywood

  16. A merman called: he wants his beard back, Joaquin.

  17. I’m sorry. I just really can’t get over how stupid this looks.

  18. This looks like a “Reefer Madness” style propaganda film against the growing of beards

  19. I’m reminded of a line from In Bruges: “It’s a jumped-up Eurotrash piece of rip-off fucking bullshit.”

    Yeah. Sounds about right.

  20. Being white and rich is hard…and messy.

  21. Someone tell Antoine Dodson that we found the “idiot in the projects” he’s looking for. He claims to be a method actor.

  22. wait i’m sorry everyone else seems to understand this more than i do. is this real? or is this comedy making fun of meltdown documentaries? what?

  23. performance art still sucks

  24. That is literally the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.

  25. I’m very surprised that many very smart videogum monsters aren’t ‘getting’ what this is and how it’s going to work. This film will be good. Or I will eat his hat.

  26. Is he pregnant? That would make for a pretty interesting documentary.
