Sami, I’m afraid I just can’t imagine Joaquin as Sherlock. In fact, now that Benedict Cumberbatch has given such a fantastic portrayal of SH, I couldn’t imagine anyone else in the role either. Even Basil Rathbone pales into insignificance. Everything about this series is brilliant and absolute genius for bringing the stories (and characters) into the modern digital age.
However, I will say that Joaquin with a beard is looking pretty sexy. Or without a beard.


Interesting find, Sami. I can’t say that I would have thought of Freddie (or Joaquin as Freddie) if you hadn’t mentioned it. I like how he gets up from the piano and goes to the window after making the mistake on the keys.
This could be an older Freddie after drinking one of his potions….

More (very deserved) carrots for Joaquin! Tbh, I never knew there were so many critics’ awards! I wonder what Joaquin does with them all? Somehow I can’t imagine that he has a special room or shelf/cabinet to display them all in his house, although I obviously don’t know. Uses them as doorstops? Paper-weights?


March, for the dvd??!! Oh well…just in time for Spring....my favourite time of year.

Dear Admin and Joy,

Al actor le van y le vienen los festejos decembrinos.
Por AGENCIA REFORMA / JUAN CARLOS GARCÍA
Publicada el 12/23/2012
A Joaquin Phoenix, la Navidad, el Año Nuevo y las celebraciones relacionadas con Santa Claus o los Reyes Magos ni le van ni le vienen.

Muy claro en sus ideas sobre esta temporada, el actor afirma que aprecia más el buen comportamiento y la calidad de tiempo que un adulto le da a un niño o a un ser querido que un obsequio costoso.

"¿Navidad? No sé, no me interesa ni siquiera sé dónde voy a estar. No me importa mucho la fecha ni la cena ni nada de eso. Supongo que mañana veo a mi hermana (Summer) y a mis sobrinos (Indiana y Atticus), pero la verdad ni compro regalos. No critico a nadie, sólo doy mi opinión, no creo en los grandes regalos.

"Pienso que hay muchos adultos que entre más costoso el presente, creen que es mejor, cuando están sustituyendo su ausencia de casa, su falta de comunicación, de demostración de cariño. Yo prefiero ser el mejor tío para los niños, estar presente para ellos", señaló Phoenix en entrevista telefónica desde Los Ángeles.

El actor, quien está haciendo la promoción de su nuevo filme “The Master-Todo Hombre Necesita un Guía”, que se estrena en México el 15 de febrero, añade que, de hecho, jamás le ha gustado comprar y regalar.

"Nada, no les regalaría nada (a sus sobrinos); bueno, si me encuentro una canica en la calle, ése sería mi obsequio", indicó.

Sobre la temporada de fiestas que pone de cabeza a muchos, el histrión dice que el mayor beneficio para cualquier ciudad, ya sea Nueva York o Los Ángeles, donde tiene viviendas, es que se vacían.

"No sé tampoco adónde iré en Año Nuevo, quizás a la playa. Lo mejor de estas fechas es que las ciudades se vacían; aquí, por ejemplo, todo mundo escapa, se van a otro lugar y está tan tranquilo que ni piensas en el caos de tráfico que es diario.

"Y creo que en la Ciudad de México debe ser así y en todas las grandes ciudades, ¿no?", expresa el actor.

A sus 38 años y con dos postulaciones al Óscar previas, así como una nominación actualmente como Mejor Actor al Globo de Oro por The Master..., Phoenix asegura que disfruta su soltería y la libertad de elegir los guiones que le apetecen.

"Cuando quiero estar solo, estoy, cuando quiero compañía, la busco. Nada de eso me atormenta, no tengo obsesiones, no pienso en eso, no me preocupa ni la edad ni lo que la gente diga de mí ni lo que se publica de mí. Es más, suelo prohibirle a mi publicista que haga referencias a revistas, notas, etcétera. No me interesa. Vivo mi vida y dejo a los demás que vivan la suya".

Tratará de ser más diplomático

Después de haberse disculpado por haber dicho que los Óscares eran "mierda", Joaquin Phoenix está aprendiendo a ser diplomático, aunque considera que las premiaciones son muy subjetivas.

"Vienen las nominaciones y todo mundo opina, todo mundo se cree experto. Odio eso. Te cuento una anécdota: 'Hace tiempo que trabajé con un votante de la Academia, me preguntó cuál de dos actores me caía mejor, para votar por eso.

"Me pareció patético, se supone que votas por quien hace un mejor trabajo, no por quien te cae mejor. Pero así es todo en la vida, usualmente te dan el mejor trabajo por caer bien, no por tus aptitudes, y eso es horrible", afirmó Phoenix.

Fortunately I didn't have to build an ark and haven't been affected by the flooding. I hope you haven't been either, Admin. *fingers crossed*


Not the best translation in the world but we get the gist. Thanks for posting, Sami.


Joaquin Phoenix, Christmas, new year and Santa Claus-related celebrations or the Magi nor are you or are you.

Very clear in their ideas about this season, the actor says that he appreciates most the good behavior and the quality of time that an adult gives a child or a loved one than an expensive gift.

"Do Christmas? I don't know, it doesn't interest me even I know where I'll be. I don't mind much the date or dinner or anything like that. I guess tomorrow I see my sister (Summer) and my nieces and nephews (Indiana and Atticus), but the truth or buy gifts. I do not criticize anyone, I only give my opinion, I don't believe in great gifts.

"I think there are many adults that the present among most costly, believe that it is better, when they are replacing their absence from home, their lack of communication, demonstration of affection." I prefer to be the best guy for children, be present for them", said Phoenix in a telephone interview from Los Angeles.

The actor, who is making the promotion of his new film "The Master - every man need a guide", which premiered in Mexico on 15 February, it adds that, in fact, buy and give away never liked.

Did "nothing, not give them them nothing (to his nephews); well, if I find a marble in the street, that would be my gift", said.

About the holiday season that puts head many, the actor says that the greatest benefit for any city, either New York or Los Angeles, where he has homes, is they are emptied.

"I don't know either where I will go in the new year, perhaps to the beach. The best of these dates is that the cities are emptied; Here, for example, everyone escapes, they will be another place and is so quiet that or think in the chaos of traffic which is daily.

"And I think that in the city of Mexico must be so and in all large cities, isn't it?", expresses the actor.

At 38 years old, and with two previous Oscar nominations, as well as a nomination for Best Actor Golden Globe for The Master currently..., Phoenix ensures that he enjoys his bachelorhood and the freedom to choose the scripts that crave you.

"When I want to be alone, I am, when I want company, I'm looking for it. None of that torments me, I don't have obsessions, not think about it, neither age nor what people say of me nor what is published about me I am not concerned. What is more, I usually forbid my publicist that makes references to journals, notes, etc. It doesn't interest me. I live my life and let others live theirs."

It will seek to be more diplomatic

After having apologized for saying that the Oscars were "shit", Joaquin Phoenix is learning to be a diplomat, although he considered that the awards are very subjective.

"Come nominations and all world opinion, everyone believes expert. I hate that. I'll tell you an anecdote: ' time ago I worked with an Academy voter, asked me which of two actors I fell better, to vote for that.

"I thought it was pathetic, it is assumed that you vote for who does a better job, not by who you falls better." But so everything in life, they usually give you the best work by fall well, not by your skills, and that's horrible", said Phoenix.









That's a good idea! Or...maybe he keeps them in the vegetable box in the kitchen!

Thanks Joy !! My computer is broken again and can't type very well. Thanks for the translation. The heading : "no le va ni le viene" is an expression that means he is indiferent . At the last paragraph when it says "fall well"it's another expression "caer bien" which means you like someone as in you think they're nice. This clarifies a lot I hope !
It's a very nice interview. I agree 100% with him !

The veggies box , lol can u imagine an Oscar mixed up in the carrots drawer ? Hahaha ! Are they actually made of gold ?

Thanks for clarifying the translation, Sami. Yes, it is a nice interview with some very insightful comments.



What better place to keep the carrots than with the carrots? Maybe the next interview Joaquin does he could let us know what he does with his awards. I have absolutely no idea what the Oscars are made out of. Wood, tin foil and gold paint for all I know. I doubt that they're made of solid gold though....perhaps some kind of metal covered with gold leaf?


That's very funny, Admin. Does Joaquin eat the fake meat stuff? Tofurky? Maybe a nut or lentil loaf? Carrot & coriander soup followed by carrot roulade and then a big slice of carrot cake? Yum!!

Hi Admin,

Here’s a link to some of the deleted scenes from The Master although whether these are the ones in the script you’re reading, I don’t know.

This is a link to an early version of the screenplay. Is this the one you’re reading?
