Joaquin Phoenix, PTA reteam on 'Inherent Vice'

[David Morris]

I like Phoenix over RD Jr for IV.  His usual persona is more serious, which
could be a good foil for the unreality of the story line.  Sort of a
psychedelic uncertainty of "real" versus drug's intervention.  RD Jr these
days wears a perpetual smirk.
