Are the Quaids pulling a Joaquin Phoenix?

Are the Quaids pulling a Joaquin Phoenix?

Read this unbelievable Vanity Fair feature on Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, and you’ll see what I mean.

It’s the only logical explanation, right?

Right??

“The car smelled of fast food and dog pee and Randy’s cigars.”

nice.

Personally, I think they are crazy, and more proof of this is the fact that they’ve stayed married since 1989 (that’s gotta be a Hollywood record, right?)

I wonder what they think of that Hollywood publicists’ murder? It seems like the Star Whackers got her for sure.

What is weird is that they have gone crazy together, or maybe they were always crazy, but now it’s just gotten out of hand.

By the way, Uncle Eddie will soon be making his annual appearance in our home. That’s my husband’s all-time favorite Christmas movie. :-)

I like how they mention the couple is going ‘green’ by sleeping/living in their Prius. I smell some synergy with the fine folks at Toyota.

I’ve heard Dennis Miller (on his daily radio show) talk about Randy whom he knows and likes. He is as perplexed and confused as the rest of us. I think there are more mental breakdown issues going on here than a clever marketing ploy.

I hope he and his family pull through this and soon.

Paulina Porizkova and Ric Ocasek, coupla crazy Czechs/Czech-Americans, also defying the Hollywood and music biz odds and living by the Newman/Woodward standard since 1989. Working in Ric’s sanity favor: not reuniting with a Ben Orr-less (RIP) Cars. Against the couple: Paulina’s stint at HuffPo. so careful, Quaids, they’re in your rearview…

If it is true about creating the “Star Whacker” movie, I’m actually intrigued and want to watch it when it comes out. I wish Randy had better feelings about his role in Vacation. One of my few favorite parts about Xmas is watching those scenes. Hell, I finally played the role two Halloween’s ago! Go Randy!!

“Star Whackers” sounds like the name of a porn film.

I think in Quaid’s case a comparrison to Tom Cruise might be possible. For years he seemed liked a nice, normal guy and then “Whamo!” the crazy couldn’t be contained or covered up anymore.
Personally I think they’re both sane, if not a little strange, especially his wife and are simple con artists. They stopped earning the money required to live they way they wanted but decided to keep living the lifestyle anyway.
Now that they’ve reached a point where everything is crashing down on them they’ve come up with an insane story and will stick with it, even doubling down on it no matter what happens.

I think she is certifiably mentally ill, with delusions of paranoia and grandeur. I’m thinking he is borderline, and she pulls him along on her psychotic mind trip. If they were “pulling a Joaquin,” then they are fantastic masters of their craft and master press manipulators.
