[Bette Dillinger]

Wha????????? You don't have Don's "Heartbeat" and Eddie's "My girl/boy likes to Party All the Time" on 24/7 rotation at your place? LOL

The only thing that I can think I saw him in was Walk the Line.  And I appreciate that he is a good actor.  But I couldn't get into him being Johnny Cash.  BUT more importantly Reese Witherspoon SUCKED as June Carter.  While he was attempting the character she certainly was not.  But anyway.Go ahead.  Retire.  See you in a few years in some obscure independent movie.  Eddie Murphy, Don Johnson, and so many others have tried with great success.Chris> Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2008 10:10:16 -0400> From: vassifer at earthlink.net> To: gathering at misera.net; gathering at misera.net> Subject: Re: [kj] Joaquin Phoenix quits film to work in music> > > He was in "Walk the Line" -- which I didn't see (there's only ONE [1] Johnny Cash).> > He was the fey Roman in "Gladiator" -- didn't see that either.> > He was an obsessed slacker in the Nicole Kidman vehicle, "To Die For."
