Is Joaquin Phoenix the next Andy Kaufman?

I can't get enough of this whole Joaquin Phoenix nonsense. He was in Miami last night doing a "show" at some nightclub when some person in the crowd started to heckle him. Well you know Joaquin Phoenix...gotta watch his rep and all, does an effin' nose dive into the crowd and tackles the heckler!! Does anyone else think this makes for great movie material? Oh, wait, Casey Affleck does. That's why he was there with his camera crew. At first the whole thing was pretty annoying. Oh Joaquin Phoenix is all dark, broody and hobo-looking and he wants to rap booo...Now, I just can't wait until this "documentary" comes out. It's going to be hilarious. One day Joaquin Phoenix is going to shave his mountain-man beard and take off those shades and be like, oh heeey just kidding. Uh...we know Joaquin, WE KNOW!!
Although I am too young to say I remember when Andy Kaufman did the same thing, but he did didn't he? Joaquin must be doing the whole Kaufmanesque shtick. I love how he's taking it to the absolute limit though. It makes for a much more hilarious punchline in the end.
So Joaquin Phoenix, you nutty little thing...Whether you're joking or not, you make me laugh. Kudos to you, for either being the craziest mofo out there, or the best actor in the biz.
In case you live under a rock and haven't seen the video of Kaufman 2000 taking taking the party-pooper out, here it is. Enjoy!
