i resonate with this. I just watched it, and, its something i enjoyed moreso after it was over, it is a really cool movie, but i was sort of bored? I never saw Joaquin in a movie really, We Own the Night, Gladiator, Signs, some of To Die For, i saw those but they were wiped out of my memory,

It's possible I might have been more engrossed if I didn't know it was a hoax but I doubt it. The main problem for me either way is I never believed this breakdown was predicated on his being tired with acting. All I can think is he was exhausted and wanted to take a couple of years off and everyone told him you can't take a total break you have to do something, so he did this. At one point Ben Stiller comes over to his house to see if he was interested in playing Ivan in Greenberg but since Joaquin was too "busy" doing this Rhys Ifans got the part instead, so at least we should be grateful for that.
I really liked Greenberg, and glad it played out this way, cause the Ben Stiller scene was one of my favorites in this film, the rap stuff really worked for me, I couldn't tell if Puffy really liked it in that scene, like I was surprised to see him think it was a joke. i mean it all sounded like it could have been the best hip hop produced so far, besides Nicki Minaj.
