River Phoenix

I really liked the pants and jacket he wore in My Own Private Idaho. I'm searching for pictures now but for some reason there's a lot of shirtless pics floating around ^_^

his character in MOPI reminded me a lot a james dean......with the red jacket and hair
 
It's hard to explain how much I love Stand By Me and how tragically his life ended. But he was a great actor, as is Joaquin. ^_^ :heart:
 
Oh my gosh...I'm so glad we have a thread on him. I had the biggest obsession with him over the summer. I love how he cared about animals and about the enviornment so much and how he wasn't just a pretty face. He wasn't just like every other actor out there. He was different. I even named my chihuahua after him, lol.

And he was so amazing in "Stand By Me". It is my favorite movie of all time; I've literally seen it over 20 times lol.
 
Wow.... I dont remember much about him cause I was only born in 1985! River seems like he was a great guy. I would like to learn more. Vegan, animal rights, and even bought 800 acres of rainforest to prevent its destruction. He seems so different than the hollywood guy. It is so tragic that he died the way he did. The stories around his death are so confusing. He was so against drugs etc. He was not even drinking that night at a bar! I guess he gave into his demons. SO sad!


I think he is a really interesting person and I wonder if they will ever make a movie about his short, but fascinating life.
 
^i remember reading somewhere about gus vant sant possibly making a movie Pink, which has a character in it based on river phoenix, but i never heard anything else about it

Am I wrong or Pink is the book written by Gus himself?

one of the most amazing movies ever!
I got the criterion edition the other day.
 
wow... i agree, so beautiful it hurts. there is something about him...
i absolutely adored My Own Private Idaho...

so sad he died so young, such a tragedy. he had so much potential.
 
like there was just so much behind his eyes, his talent was immeasurable.
Lot like Joaquin.

Such a tragedy. I always want to know what he would have become.
 
I think he was amazing, especially as a person, he was so giving and never afraid to be himself.
 
i've seen that idaho film on tv but i dont remember what it was about. i guess i'm not familiar with his work then.


but i come here...for respect, because i want to be part of faust's historical debut in Star Style. :p
