It would be awesome to be rescued from a car crash by someone like Werner Herzog. He is an amazing person!
The Herzog/Phoenix encounter sounds oddly like something from the Big Lebowski, with the Dude telling Walter to relax, though Walter says that he's perfectly calm.
Awesome video.
To light a cig in a wrecked car Phoenix must have been wrecked. The gas would stink! He's lucky to be alive. Wonder if he even cares?
"When Lunch Met Lucas" needs to be made right this second!
Mr. Ebert, I know that was simply a typo but I have not been able to stop laughing about how apt that is.
Ebert: Also working on "When Lucas Met His Lunch."
Edited/reposted. With all the recent attention to Joaquin, sadly, few noticed his gifted brother River would have turned 40 last month. What he might have been.
