Really, Casey Affleck? Way to ruin my fun.
I was so excited to see “I’m Still Here,” the documentary on Joaquin Phoenix’s strange year of isolation, because I wanted to decide for myself if it was real or a joke and offer an opinion as to why I thought what I did. But now, I have been robbed of that chance as director Casey Affleck has decided to spill the beans that it actually was a mockumentary, a piece of performance art not meant to be taken literally.
“I’m Still Here” opens today in Houston, and now I really have no desire to spend $10 to see it. Knowing that it’s a big joke ruins the fun, and it’s really no different than unleashing a spoiler (which I HATE, see Random Factoid #276). The movie’s secret is out of the bag, and everything has changed.
Has anyone else had their moviegoing desires changed by knowing certain details about a film?
Marshall and the Movies 
It still works as a piece on the way the media handles celebrities.
Yeah, I’m not really sure if this really spoils anything.
