have to admit i lol'd at "I generally like James Franco. He is funny, he’s a good actor, he wants to live an interesting life. But he is so, so dumb. Like, really dumb. Franco’s essay shows an utter lack of comprehension of any issues outside of the Palo Alto-Los Angeles tunnel in which he grew up. It is, like much of Franco’s previous non-acting work, light, and airy, and privileged bullshit."
I don't mean to generalise too much, but look at who wrote this. I can totally picture her being a Franco fan. And now these young women are trying to articulate what they, like, don't like about Jamie omigod..."he is sooo dumbbb"

'the interview' did this thing that happens a lot with big budget comedies where it's like they're afraid the audience will be confused and unhappy if the movie stays silly and funny all the way through so they start grinding everything to a halt for joke-free dramatic and action sequences by the third act.

yea otm, I think this is unavoidable thoalso this type of movie needs to really nail its montages, not have them be overlong, etc and it did that v well so kudosoverall it was better than I expectedthe best stuff is in the first half, and lots of it is franco's expressions & reaction shots, so great

oh come on, I can't even tell if you guys are joking. He made the movie, he stars in the movie. Since when does the real life subject get to do the acceptance speech? James knows probably better than anyone that if he gave Tommy the mic he was not getting it back.

It definitely seemed like a rude and obnoxious way to respond to a silly situation, especially since without Wisseau there would be no trophy.
Also OL, I'm maybe being oversensitive, but your responses come across as fairly condescending for no particular reason. I was making a fairly bland observation about that moment. I wasn't under any illusion that I was noting anything particularly deep. OTOH, I was well aware of the dynamic at play, but felt it was obvious enough not to state explicitly.

James Franco accepted the Golden Globe for Best Actor, Musical or Comedy on Sunday night with a “Time’s Up” pin, which signifies support for the fight against sexual misconduct in Hollywood, on his black suit. But some 2018 Golden Globes viewers were upset to see Franco wearing the pin, saying they don’t believe The Disaster Artist actor has treated women with respect in the past....Other Golden Globes viewers took to Twitter to criticize Franco for his alleged treatment of women in the past, including two women who made specific accusations against the actor. Some of the tweets focused on a 2014 incident in which Franco allegedly hit on a 17-year-old girl on Instagram.

No condescension intended to you, Moodles, just a comment on Franco's apparent obliviousness wrt the power dynamic. Everything surrounding this movie has the uncomfortable whiff of an Improv Everywhere performance, and Franco trotting Wiseau out like a freak for everyone to ogle without allowing him a moment of agency was pretty gross. Particularly compounded with Franco standing in front of Wiseau and affecting Wiseau's voice to tell Wiseau's story.
― Bobby Buttrock (Old Lunch), Monday, 8 January 2018 19:29 (six years ago) link
Just for entertainment's sake. You don't put Tommy Wiseau onstage in front of 19 million viewers and not let him speak.

no shit. so weird inviting a guy on stage, not letting him take the mic, and then immediately imitating his voice
think Franco legit did a great job with this movie but come on, let Tommy have his moment. Franco's been up there enough. an unfiltered Tommy Wiseau on stage is one of the few things that would've made me want to watch the Golden Globes

there is another guy, he's a choreographer actually, in la and i won't mention his name because he is not hollywood famous but he has worked with some big names, and he is trying to make it big so he probably keeps up with his online presence
but anyway he did a lot of intense erotic and sexual art performances under the guise of "it's art"
