Isn't he gorgeous??

Isn't he hot??

I thought this was a thread about some indie band.

did u see that ny times article about the computer that determined that james franco is the best looking dude alive

I don't see it.

i dont know why they needed to have a computer tell them that since my girlfriend says it every time she sees a picture of him

ya

his face sometimes looks computer generated

Aw, Joel Hodgson.

my hair can kind of do the same thing franco's hair does, but I have to not wash it.

James Franco IS Jeff Buckley

http://www.fansofrealitytv.com/forums/imagehosting/218545c11b178a494.jpg

i saw him outside nyu once and he was sporting strange facial hair :(

funny too! watch out ladies!

Acting with James Franco is made of lols.

my sister lives in nyc and plans to stalk + marry him.

http://i38.tinypic.com/21oymab.gif

everybody can do that

i cant - my mouth is not at all capable of making that shape

would mack on

franco, i mean, not you pervs

yeah i know no people who can do that.

i just talked to my sister and she corrected me that she will not be trying to marry him bc she thinks he's gay and/or an asshole.

xposts

i don't know about gay. asshole maybe but eh

Good god Franco and Buckley are/were so damn gorgeous.

James Franco was also hilarious and endearing in Pineapple Express.

i can make that mouth shape

i still haven't seen pineapple express. This seems like a crime.

rad dude!

surmounter otm

he has a nice bottom

Oh, I was trying to post the picture of the mustachioed Franco here.

he looks like my cousin and this thread creeps me out

James Franco looks like someone who probably had a rat tail as a child.

Dear Mr Van Sant, plz send me a Harvey Milk Supervisor t-shirt wuith James Franco inside it.

is james franco the new jake gyllenhaal? insider sources say "i guess so"

Green screen Acting with James Franco is my favorite.

how is JF less "new" than Jake G? I think ppl are mostly excited about Milk, ie, at last he's in a non-shit movie and we'll find out if he can act.

ummmm, I guess I meant "newer," not less new. And of course I am speculating on the merits of Milk.

no dude, his current visibility has way more to do with his turn in pineapple express & the gucci frangrance campaign than the anticipation of him playing gay in a GVS movie (which i will see, but really now)

ah, "visibility" (ie, there's a Gucci fragrance?). if the Great Unwashed wants to leave Jake alone, fine with me.

are there any scenes of Emile Hirch and Franco sodomizing each other?

lol "great unwashed" i thought we were talking abt fastidiously groomed homos here

if the Great Unwashed wants to leave Jake alone, fine with me.

oh, me, i'm not picky.

at last he's in a non-shit movie and we'll find out if he can act.

As in both those two instead of either/or? Because The Company is better than any movie Jakey's ever been in.

James Franco was in The Company? I must have seen that before I knew who he was.

I used to confuse him for the James Dean lookalike who blew Ron Rifkin in L.A. Confidential.

Franco was totally forgettable in The Company. proof: I forgot him.

also, Donnie Darko > The Company

and perhaps the same goes for Bubble Boy

I used to confuse him for the James Dean lookalike who blew Ron Rifkin in L.A. Confidential.

he is TEH MENTALIST now

I don't recall that in LAC either. This is my problem with voting in the '50s film poll -- Oh, that was great, but do I remember any of it?

Donnie Darko > The Company

So not OTM, though I'd consider that possibility with Bubble Boy.

Morbs OTM.

No results found for "gaymes franco"

Whatev, I'd rather watch a screwball marathon than Donnie Darko.

schef, this cousin of yours doesn't like middle-aged men perchance?

hahaha unfortunately there are greater problems at hand with said cousin that would make this a no-go :(

morbz got some horny goat weed in his stocking

'nuff said. I don't do drama.

Milk makes it seem so amazingly easy to pick up JF in the subway.

i've picked someone up on a bus before. but he was a closeted latino boy.

A good friend reported last week that he and his girlfriend had beers with Franco at her apartment -- she and Franco are taking the same creative writing course.

my god he's an ilxor waiting to happen

yeah that was talked about a bit on the 33 1/3 thread. basically love this dude.

that's a great book by the way!

ha yeah i know this is OLD NEWS

i haven't had a proper celebrity crush in YEARS, not since justin timberlake in his prime probably, but that clip definitely pushed franco right back up to CRUSH level.

he's so beautiful

ridiculously so. he looks beautiful when moody and then his smile just melts me. i hate thinking shit like that.

omg

he's a handsome kid

hmmmm, too much so to play Allen Ginsberg? so is Jesse Eisenberg:

xp lol

I love Surmounter on this thread. "Isn't he gorgeous? Isn't he hot?" It reminds me of two things, Ain't You My Baby and "ain't you wealthy, aint you wise."

Sorry, I mean "is you or aint you my baby"

Haw.

is you is

I was just coming here to see if you'd seen this Rox. <3

it is a classic to me. haw

Now on General Hospital apparently
Can someone explain this move?

hopefully because he thinks it's funny

maybe carl wilson style popism got to him in a big way

wtf is thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj0M7rghI-E

<3

so where are the long-winded essays where he intellectualizes starring in crap like Flyboys and Tristan & Isolde?

village voice

his blog

in alaska

i want to watch general hospital

I saw one long clip of him on GH and laughed at the absurdity. I guess he's admitting there that's what it was supposed to be? Gotta admire the worksmanship on those soaps though - three days of filming is enough for 23 episodes!

yea i heard he is pretty funny

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3198/3029750852_78cd9ff9e3.jpg

i fully endorse this btw

v close to my glasses but that's kinda where the similarity ends.

u fully endorse what?

that picture is like a perfect ad for humanity

and for cardigans.

theres a lot of stuff on this thread i endorse by now

the problem with that photo is he's sposed to be ALLEN GINSBERG

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0KRN69leV-Q/S1AHcfZ-SrI/AAAAAAAAH7w/iuN8kedTju4/s400/30-rock-james-franco.jpg

I'm glad there is a picture of him and Kamiko Kai.

the word "lips" is grossing me out

http://i34.tinypic.com/11slag1.jpg

it occurs to me that this dude is going to age really well, george clooney-style. he will look good with a little gray hair.

i saw howl last month. surmounter is going to explode.

just spent 10 straight minutes watching that gif :(

first time i'm reading that wsj article posted upthread and i'm imagining him snickering to himself as he wrote that last line.

Clooney has NOT aged well. Only straight men and women think he's a handsome man.

you're crazy

He looked like a old couch at this year's Oscars.

He's charming as hell, but his looks got nuthin' to do with it.

so... only a majority of the population

alfred is correct re: clooney

so... only a majority of the population

Yeah, but we're smarter and make more money.

clooney has aged very well imo. i suspected his poor presentation at the oscars was smething to do with a part he was bulking up/growing his hair out for.

i think george clooney is v handsome alfred u crazy

Yeah what would straight women know about male attractiveness.

Not as much as I do.

u r weird

Didn't realize he had an almost equally foxy brother.

love clooney
an that franco gif is soooo <3
it makes me want to eat pancakes with him and i only very rarely eat wheat and never at breakfast so that is saying a lot.

Alfred, hate to break it to you, but neither you nor I will look a fraction as good as Clooney when we're pushing 50.

I work out often and don't accept scripts like Up in the Air, Eric.

Oh sorry, my mistake. You will obviously be attractive to approximately 90 percent of housewives in America in a couple decades.

it don't mean a thing if you ain't got those genes
xpost

Every time I try to fill-in my ballot for the "James Franco: Yea or Nay" election he does something that makes me re-think my opinion on him.

Actually I think I finally got Clooney's broad visual appeal when I saw Up In The Air. Dude has as many different smiles as eskimos have words for snow.

James Franco (and Jake for that matter) obviously hotter though.

"The Dangerous Book Four Boys" addresses boyhood and the "sexual confusion" of adolescence, as Ms. Heiss put it. Short films focus on demolition, showing burning or bullet-riddled structures like a plastic toy home or a large wooden rocket (the exhibition contains originals or replicas of these). Another work explores a romantic encounter between "Star Trek" characters Spock and James T. Kirk.

"I feel like shows or films that deal with kids, they're playing to all of these sexual feelings that you have at that age, but they don't fully admit to it," he said. "So I kind of try to draw that out. The implicit in those shows and books, I try to make it a little more explicit."

so much <3 for this guy

me too. hot in so many ways.

"they're not wolves, they're bears"

wish he made better movies

In Dave's current tourist audience you'd really be fortunate to have one person who knew who the hell he was

Hey, my friend Kevin is in that clip!

(xp) that's weird, that was sposed to go on the Harvey Pekar thread

Hey, my friend Kevin is in that clip!

So's my friend Wancy!

When is James Franco going to come out officially?

As soon as I give him the ok.

starting the English PhD program at Yale this fall, apparently

my favourite book about paris - norma evenson's paris: a century of change - is in that clip too! on the shelf behind the jeffrey eugenides guy just above his left shoulder

if he could wrangle the accent, i'd love to see him do an adam ant biopic

or he could just prance around in a little pirate suit to "stand and deliver," that would be fine

wish he made better movies

wish he made better books, if he's going to keep getting them published

not lookin fwd to the Allen Ginsberg portrayal, really

i'd love to see him do an adam ant biopic

yes, same bone structure, good observation!

although he's probably massively taller than AA.

can we change the thread title to

James Franco and his LITTLE RUBBER DICK AND BALLS IN A GLASS CASE !!!

no

wow he's an artist

Long, long New York profile. Apparently he's getting his Ph.D in literature.

http://nymag.com/movies/profiles/67284/index6.html

i was about to type DON'T DO IT JAMES, but i guess he can afford to do it

The profile, I might add, includes a lot of drivel.

he'll be ~teaching~

you don't say:

In the hours after our brief meeting, and then in the months that followed, I would come to believe that everything important about Franco and his career could be derived from that mystifying wink. The only problem was that I had no idea, really none at all, what he meant by it

i would be mystified by his wink knowhati'msayin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Trw9vYV_g6c&feature=player_embedded#!

could stare at him forever tbh

haha

that whole artwork is wild

He;s got a teensy bit of Mark Ruffalo around the eyes there. I had never made that comparison

Haha at New York "art ladies" in the background there

HAI I'M JAMES FRANCO AND I'M SO CUTE I HAVE TO EAT MY HAND

Man I can totally see that this guy is a good-looking guy but I can't get over that he is son of a bad guy on a glider often called "Gobby"! Who became himself a Goblin.

Ginsburg wishes he looked that good.

Franco reeeeeeally acts with his wrists alot in Howl.

what about his lips?

RIP

Lots of big-name writers blurbing his story collection:
http://www.amazon.com/Palo-Alto-Stories-James-Franco/dp/1439163146

haha i hate to be gabbneb here but he really does remind me so much of my ex in that video there

he was on fresh air and so good! <3<3
franco not my ex

listening to him on Fresh Air...omg he's killing me. is it possible to be *audibly* handsome?

http://www.bestweekever.tv/bwe/images/2010/10/James-Franco-drag.jpg

jesus christ that bike pic

xpost omg LOVE it

he is just the best

Should I watch Howl?

I was pleasantly surprised

jimmy franks is very good.

not really a narrative-driven film though obvs, and i'm not sure it needed to be a 90 minute feature

Seeing 127 Hours on Thursday!!!!!

I've missed the boat on this guy. He has all the sex appeal of Thomas Haden Church, which isn't much. THC fell off after the Sideways era.

sux 2 be u, rong, who is thomas haden church, and thc never fell off

There are method actors, but Franco is living a method life.

oh boy:

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/12/12/magazine/14actors.html?hp#2

I am not feeling this stache. He was on some talk show yesterday and I couldn't get past it. He's still handsome but I prefer him sans stache.

normally I hate them but on Franco I wish I could wipe ketchup stains off it.

apparently I now love mustaches

holy shit

omg @ this

im supposed to be studying, al

I haven't been able to think about anything else all afternoon. This is WAY better than the 'Kissing Family' sketch he did on SNL...

I imagine him kissing me like that and then we go out for a cappuccino.

I would have to be hospitalized

The arm up on the mirror is what's killing me...(aside from omg everything else about this crazy boy)

jesus so much acting in those clips. actors, stop acting!

there are other clips ? lol

The other actors are stilted and obvious.

I kinda dig him with the stache, something I never would have predicted!

I saw 127 hours last night. it was RUBBISH

The only erotic moment was his bare foot reaching out for sunlight.

rats. dude's along for THAT long you'd hope for...well...anyhoo

fainting here

that clip of franco simultaneously made and ruined my day this morning.

Bardem one is particularly disappointing

Ugh the Eisenberg one. Come on, bro.

idg how you could watch any other clip after Franco...

I read this as James Ferraro and his LIPS

You're in the right place.

kind of embarrassing

he's going to make the Oscars into one of his shitty art projects

so.... he's going to make the Oscars way better?

tbh I think Carrot Top hosting the Oscars would be an improvement.

xxpost Yay!

James Franco makes everything better

It's not going to be worse, just a cuter kind of annoying

Sully:

I have to say I don't know what to say. I suppose I should hereby retire from blogging. Maybe my amygdala is just completely side-swiped by the mustache or the smile to feel the revulsion at the narcissism others feel. Or maybe Franco is able to show us that he's mocking narcissism, while obviously seducing himself. Anyway, I can't stop myself watching it, in the same way a lot of people can't stop watching Franco wherever he appears.

The idea of a video-photo spread for the NT magazine remains, however, an inspired piece of new media. Congrats.

who are these people that are aparently feeling revulsion? are they extra-terrestrials?

The mustache sort of lends the scene a new meaning of "gay clone"

So it appears he's in talks to write and direct both Blood Meridian and As I Lay Dying. This information makes me both very excited and very nervous at the same time.

I thought Ridley Scott had optioned Blood Meridian?

¯\(°_o)/¯

http://www.showbiz411.com/2011/01/03/exclusive-james-franco-planning-to-direct-faulkner-cormac-mccarthy-classics

p much definitively over this guy

hey i was planning to do that too

disappointed i didnt get under him first tho, AYO

yknow goole you kindof ruined that one for me

goole

lol @ both of u

so tired of this guy

Well, he's overexposed for sure. I'm sorta excited by this because I love both of these books (a lot) but I just don't know if this will be a good thing in the end. This is really fucking ambitious!

xpost Yeah I'm so tired of the handsomest dude on the planet being cute and awesome.

he should ruin some lesser-known works first

I say go for it. Dude could film a 10 part series about the Yellow Pages and I'd probably watch it

reminder: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0403848/

I actaully decided while watching him on Regis and Kelly last month (don't judge) that he's not actually as hot as everyone seems to think. a) too skinny b) bad facial hair atm

xpost

wait, um - what is that movie?!

gtfo :O

what should gtfo The Ape existing or my saying he's not that hot cause you know what? I just dropped a truth bomb.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y176/edwardiii/MV5BMjA5MTMxODcxNV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwODcyMzIzMQ_V1_.jpg

yah i have been p consistent abt saying that he was hot in Milk but that was kindof it, yah kindof stringy looking around the face

I mean he's a good looking guy I just think he's sorta overrated in that dept is all.

Need I remind you of this:

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/12/12/magazine/14actors.html?hp#2

Those artsy-fartsy clips make me think someone not so secretly considered the assignment "14 Directors Directing."

I want the assignment of directing and co-starring with Franco in "Soto and Other Drugs"

9 pipers piping
10 drummers drumming
12 lords a leaping

xpost wd watch imo :)

Thank god you're here, Al.

he sometimes looks funny -- kind of like an old man -- but when he looks good, he looks immortally perfect. so while i find it difficult to say his looks are overrated, i know exactly what u mean.

I love you ENBB and Josh and Surm but it DOES NOT COMPUTE

he sometimes looks like this:
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g192/rrawn/franco.jpg

i don't love that look

holy shit i forgot all about the ape. I was working at TLA in philly when they put that thing out and no one could be bothered to watch it.

The video store, I mean, not the releasing branch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I1b61DVgog

To think he would succeed in eclipsing Vincent Gallo in but five years

I dunno, at least this dude seems to have more of a sense of humor about himself and celebrity than, say, Harmony Korine. But Korine has done a pretty good job dropping off the map, so who knows.

harmony korine isnt some apatow dude tbf

Yeah Harmony Korine and James Franco are like...not even apples and oranges. That's like apples and zebras.

Sure, unlike Korine or Gallo, Franco is more like an affable enfant terrible, which is a neat contradiction. I like that Franco is some Apatow dude who also does Oscar shit and high(low) brow art stuff, all while pursuing advanced degrees and staring in soaps.

Ape's only $8.99 on their site, though I'm pretty sure we were selling previously viewed (or at least opened) copies a few years back.

that sentence should end with for far less.

wtf at yall saying his looks are overrated yr fuckin crazy imo

YES ty Roxy

you can't see what i'm talking about in that picture i posted??

beadyeyedfunnyteethface

All I see is some fine looking Franco

i love him more now that he is less of an adonis and more of a weird looking dude though, like thats my ideal franco

xpost he looks like my ex bf that i hate in that pic tbh lol

Anybody read Palo Alto? Flicked through it today and was almost tempted.

mmm filet of franco

i hate when he styles himself like that and i believe that if we saw that smile in motion and not in a freeze frame we would be swooning

For every squinty face there are 1200 sexy faces he makes and its all worth it in the end

Def better in motion, lol

yea i've def seen the squinty thing on film too, but yea that's probably true - it's like 1 in a 100 expressions that he looks like that

makes him more attractive to me tbh!

have you watched the video of him and his grandma? he makes this insanely grimacing, too-big smile the whole time and its murderous to watch for me because i find it so cute even though objectively perhaps it is weird looking

YES he totally looks like he's speedballing through the whole thing

Davey is the cutest

i find dave to be completely unattractive!!

re those acting class vids (and some other things i've seen him do) is franco narcissist/egotist or is he just playing at being one for laughs?

dave is handsome in a kind of unassuming/generic way imo. seems like a good fellow.

I posted the grandma vid yesterday on the thread for the movie very few of you seem to have seen.

he sometimes looks funny -- kind of like an old man

what the HELL are u talkinbout?

OK, the Rebel scene w/ his brother is better than 127 Hours

jed are you retarded? its obviously a joke

also his brother is p not actually enrolled in an acting class being taught by his brother

hahaha LOL morbs

well he makes so much of the joke that maybe it's not a joke.

also his brother is p not actually enrolled in an acting class being taught by his brother

thanks for clearing that up though!

i think it is kind of awesome that he is planning this, with little to know evidence that he in fact knows how to direct such things on his CV. I mean, why not? REally, if someone will finance you to do it, why not try?

little to no. little to no.

hope he is better at directing than at writing short stories

OTM

I hope he is better at making out than writing and directing.

OTM

palo alto has a gushing quote by amy hempel on the sleeve

i think, maybe i dont remember

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_R5WS6_kmmTI/Sda98k7TrWI/AAAAAAAAQqY/Cbbzye50ork/s400/908391.jpg

maybe amy hempel thought shed get to make out with him

idk i bet amy hempel is more of a rogen fan

if i was in charge of such things and james franco walked up to me and said award me the nobel prize for literature for my subpar collection of short stories "palo alto" and flashed that smile.gif i'd have trouble saying no

lol otm

No one looks good making that face what is your point here

my point is that he makes that face a bunch and i don't find it attractive. that's all.

i have never seen him making that face lol

like how could anyone jsut hold that face for more than like a millisecond

Hardly a deterrent

my boy hayden is cuter tbh

nope sorry

he looks like a dumb person

yeah ew sorry surm

oh so I'm watching F&G now and have realized that it's all about his smile. I may have been a little harsh last week.

also he has a weird and not appealing voice (franco)

James Franco and his PHD !!!

how many degrees does one very successful actor need

^^^

wait, I thought he was doing a PhD at Yale in English- is he doing two PhDs at the same time, or did he drop out of Yale?

Soon it's going to be really easy to play six degrees of James Franco. 'Cause ... get it?

applauso

nicely done sir

p thoughtful here - http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/11661

Oh man, I watched this interview when I was stoned the other night and it was seriously fucking amazing. Ca

okay you sold me, will watch

yea if anything rose is the drawback cuz he so badly tries to be jokey in front of live audiences & with entertainers

i rly just find charlie rose endlessly hilarious - in the best way possible

just his face in that black abyss

too much

i have nothing but <3 4 charlie, but he can be terribly corny where i have to like avert my eyes

yeah charlie's great imo

oh totally - i have always loved him

I have to say, the interview kind of made me hate J.F. a little, though. There are parts where he is so clearly ~getting off~ on the whole experience of being interviewed about his career as an artist. Like, sometimes Charlie Rose asks a question, and Franco does these smug little eye flutters as he drinks in the headiness of it all. But it's worth it. I mean, the self-construction and -presentation as Serious Artist is itself, you could argue, part of his whole project.

Or treating Serious Artistry as a genuine joke.

just his face in that black abyss

happens to me too when, stoned, I think of Charlie Rose.

xp Yeah, maybe, sure.

happens to me too when, stoned, I think of Charlie Rose.

Wait who is that girl

Ke$ha, I think?

Inevitable Playboy interview.

all the layers of "meta" he tosses on everything don't really obscure the fact that he has not really done anything all that compelling.

aside from being hot, sometimes.

Once they started talking about the oscar hosting and then twitter I just felt this sense of creeping dread, like there's something really horrifically boring about the times we live in.

yeah that's the thing -- the tagline is that he is "interesting" but he seems utterly boring. the idea of an intellectual jack-of-all-trades movie star is so seductive that people don't seem to care that he's never said or done anything particularly worthwhile.

Yeah, well the thread is called James Franco and his LIPS !!! for a reason, I guess.

I think it's cool that he's helping that monkey from Jumanji make a comeback.

Robin Williams' career hasn't been THAT bad lately.

I accidentally bookmarked a picture of James Franco (and his LIPS !!!) and I just never bothered to delete it because the icon on my bookmark bar looks like it could be a link to a book review instead of a picture of somebody who was in Flyboys

so he won't be doing Sweet Bird of Youth on Broadway next year after all. Seems like a natural part for him, but Nicloe Kidman as Alexandra? they'd have to undo all her surgery.

'palo alto' isnt so good. i read the blurb while browsing and it was comparing it to 'winesburg ohio' (one of my faves) so i bought it. i didnt realise it was that james franco until i took it home and read the back cover!

@nyadanielle10

You do know he was in Harvey Milk right He's played gay guys befor. I think young actor are going for gay parts is to shows there range of ability as an actor. Like how playing retarded roles use to be "in".

http://www.avclub.com/articles/james-franco-likes-that-morons-dont-understand-his,64210/

As an example of the sort of project that said idiots would probably just misinterpret, the article describes how one Flaunt writer participated in Franco's new, gender-flipped Rebel Without A Cause project: After being told to shave his beard and get into drag to play James Dean's friend Vampira, the author is quickly initiated into a booze-fueled orgy of strap-on dildos and hand lotion that's loosely based around a real-life behind-the-scenes drama involving Dennis Hopper, director Nicholas Ray, and Natalie Wood—all of them, along with Dean and Sal Mineo, played by members of the opposite sex and, occasionally, blow-up dolls. Then this very artistic thing happens:

“Sal,” says Franco, “this is the moment you’ve been waiting for. I want you to show Dean how much you love him. And you too, Dennis. Just make love to Natalie.”

The two start going at it with the dolls.

“I wanted your sugar lips on my cock all day, Jimmy,” Mineo says before shoving her dildo in the sex doll’s mouth. “You are my girl, Jimmy. You feel as sweet as ice cream.” She unbuttons the sex doll’s pants and flips it over. “Your ass is so ready, Jimmy. Let me put it in your rebel ass.” She spits on her dildo cock and stuffs it in James Dean’s inflatable butthole. “Tell me how much you like it, Jimmy.” The doll flops about on the bed. “You know I like it, Jimmy. Oh yeah! So nice and tight... Such a sweet ass. It’s like sweet cherry pie.”

Hopper is going at it with the Natalie Wood doll. I’m tossed a Nick Adams doll. Vampira would be into fetishism, I think. I strap on a dildo harness and grab a leather whip. I proceed to whip the doll’s plastic cock while thrusting my dildo in its mouth.

I look around. Everyone is making out with dolls, riding them, switching positions. “My girl loves it on her face, doesn’t she, Jimmy?” huffs Mineo before squirting the James Dean doll with cum-lotion. We spray the sex dolls with two cans of condensed milk. It’s a real cumfest.

Franco, who is in the middle of the action, begins to record himself on an iPhone, repeating, “I’m a rebel, I’m a rebel, I’m a rebel, I’m a rebel…” His eyes are closed. There is no irony in his voice.

the hart crane thing is on itunes/amazon instant, maybe ondemands also

i guess he put things back in since it's now 1h 50m? i liked it, def feels v student-movie-w/-a-location-budget-like, also lil bit tortured artist cliche territory but in some reasonably unique ways, including making out/sexing michael shannon.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/professor-fired-for-giving-james-franco-a-d-grade-6279572.html

A university professor is claiming that he lost his job after he gave James Franco an embarrassing 'D' grade in a course he was teaching on account of the knock-'em-dead actor and perennial student showing up for only two out of the 14 lectures he was expected at.

The unusual allegation is laid out in a lawsuit filed this week in the Manhattan Supreme Court by Jose Angel Santana, who says that New York University fired him unfairly in part because of his refusal to pander to Mr Franco and give him a grade he didn't deserve. In the suit, he seeks to get his job back.

Mr Franco, 33, who seems to be as attracted to campus life as he is to the camera lens, has attended courses recently at Columbia University and at Yale. It was while pursuing a fine arts master's degree at NYU that he was obliged to attend Mr Santana's lectures entitled "Directing the Actor II".

In his legal suit, Mr Santana asserts that other members of the department bent the rules flagrantly to make Mr Franco look better than he really was including using inflated grades.

The implication is that NYU wanted not just the glory of having the heart-melting Mr Franco in its midst but also the financial boon that his presence promised to bring .

is the reporter applying for membership in Franco's entourage?

So basically Franco is to a 'cool school' like NYU what a star quarterback is to a football school.

So, Mr. Franco and I are to be colleagues this coming semester:

And Ezra Miller, well he makes me want to be gay, his character is so full of vitality.

i like how in the freaks & geeks reunion article in vanity fair judd apatow talks about when they cast him as desario, they did so because they thought his mouth was too big for his face, he looked "off" and weird, etc. then all the women around them started talking about how gorgeous he was and they thought they were nuts cause they couldnt see it

interior. leather bar. looks like it might be really good

oh God, put out or shut up, Franco.

ezra miller is crushworthy

wait he's only 20 nvm but what a lovely man he will one day grow to be

EM has an all-time jawline, but he needs to grow out of using it to maximize his scuzzball cachet.

and have his way with the deadweight

ew man

ew yourself

"and have his way with the deadweight"

That is a bit harsh, he is at least half as charismatic as Warren Beatty.

The actors in James Franco’s brilliant debut novel include a McDonald’s drive-thru operator who spends his shift trying on accents; an ex-child star recalling a massive beachside bacchanal; hospital volunteers and Midwestern transplants; a vampire flick starlet who discovers a cryptic book written by a famous actor gone AWOL; and the ghost of River Phoenix. Then there’s Franco himself, who prowls backstage, peering out between the lines—before taking the stage with fascinating meditations on his art, along with nightmarish tales of excess. “Hollywood has always been a private club,” he writes. “I open the gates. I say welcome. I say, Look inside.”

Told in a dizzying array of styles—from lyric essays and disarming testimonials to hilariously rambling text messages and ghostly footnotes—and loosely modeled on Alcoholics Anonymous’ Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Actors Anonymous is an intense, wild ride into the dark heart of celebrity.

i don't like james franco's writing and filmmaking from what i have read and seen -- the obama poem and the hart crane film. however, i feel the deck is sort of stacked against him because of his celebrity. if this novel -- which seems to be vaguely experimental -- were really good, how many people would want to admit that? the idea of james franco, of pineapple express fame, writing a book that involves the ghost of river phoenix is just taken, immediately, to be ridiculous, but if bret easton ellis did that i'd imagine people would have more time for it.

i guess there are worse people to be than james franco, but being james franco is not without its disadvantages.

i understand that james franco's celebrity is a big part of the reason his book was able to find a publisher and receive promotion in the first place but still...

http://www.amazon.com/A-California-Childhood-James-Franco/dp/1608872025/ref=pd_sim_b_1

In A California Childhood he plays with the concept of memoir through personal snapshots, sketches, paintings, poems, and stories. “I was born in 1978 at Stanford Hospital and spent my first eighteen years in a single house at the end of a cul-de-sac in Palo Alto,” Franco writes in his introduction. Steve Jobs’s daughter and the grandson of one of the Hewlett-Packard founders may have both been in his graduating class, but just across the freeway from his home turf lay East Palo Alto, which in 1992 had the highest murder rate per capita in the country. For Franco, the terrain of his upbringing is fraught with the complication of a city divided. But within that diversity, universal aspects of adolescence rise to the surface, and those are the subjects at the heart of Franco’s work.

Ultimately this is a portrait of a childhood brightened by California sunshine, but with trouble awaiting in the shadows. At turns funny, dark, and emotional, the journey of this book delivers an undeniable immediacy. And at the end the reader is left wondering just where the line of Franco’s art ends and where his true life begins.

if this novel -- which seems to be vaguely experimental

?!?!?!!?!!!

i was just referring to the fact that, from what i gleaned from skimming your posts, it involves river phoenix's ghosts, so i imagined it was some magical realist type thing that incorporated pop culture elements in a way that would read as "gimmicky" to most readers of realist or genre fiction.

Ghosts don't seem gimmicky, experimental, or magical realist to me, but OK.

We're watching freaks and geeks atm and james franco and his lips

xp it's told in a "dizzying array of styles."

vaguely experimental does not equal good or even truly experimental. it means that it is fucking around with form and self-consciously deciding to avoid certain conventions, perhaps in order to be taken more seriously by certain kinds of critics. (james franco has an MFA).

it's like basically a genre tag, not a compliment. i was saying that since he is james franco the more "out there" elements of his books, any kind of imaginative anything that he does, like making river phoenix's ghost a character, is more likely to be mocked.

if it's good, it'll find an appreciative audience. getting your vanity projects financed & published on a whim is something a lot of people would kill for so there's no reason on earth to feel bad for him - i dont think even franco cares if people like his shit

(james franco has an MFA)

Yeah I think if it's good (it doesn't sound good) than yeah good for him but it sounds hideous.

"vaguely experimental" describes the James Franco Project.
