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

James Franco was also hilarious and endearing in Pineapple Express.

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

Oh, I was trying to post the picture of the mustachioed Franco here.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 19:45 (seventeen years ago)
he looks like my cousin and this thread creeps me out
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 19:46 (seventeen years ago)
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.
― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 20:21 (seventeen years ago)
is james franco the new jake gyllenhaal? insider sources say "i guess so"
― playing the abortion card (elmo argonaut), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 21:19 (seventeen years ago)
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.
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 16:14 (seventeen years ago)
ummmm, I guess I meant "newer," not less new. And of course I am speculating on the merits of Milk.
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 16:16 (seventeen years ago)
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)
― the whoopi goldberg variations (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 22 October 2008 16:36 (seventeen years ago)
ah, "visibility" (ie, there's a Gucci fragrance?). if the Great Unwashed wants to leave Jake alone, fine with me.
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 16:40 (seventeen years ago)
are there any scenes of Emile Hirch and Franco sodomizing each other?
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 16:43 (seventeen years ago)
lol "great unwashed" i thought we were talking abt fastidiously groomed homos here
― the whoopi goldberg variations (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 22 October 2008 17:12 (seventeen years ago)
if the Great Unwashed wants to leave Jake alone, fine with me.
oh, me, i'm not picky.
― donna rouge, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 17:20 (seventeen years ago)
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.
― Eric H., Wednesday, 22 October 2008 17:24 (seventeen years ago)
James Franco was in The Company? I must have seen that before I knew who he was.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 17:27 (seventeen years ago)
I used to confuse him for the James Dean lookalike who blew Ron Rifkin in L.A. Confidential.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 17:28 (seventeen years ago)
Franco was totally forgettable in The Company. proof: I forgot him.
also, Donnie Darko > The Company
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 17:42 (seventeen years ago)
and perhaps the same goes for Bubble Boy
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 17:43 (seventeen years ago)
he is TEH MENTALIST now
― the whoopi goldberg variations (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 22 October 2008 17:45 (seventeen years ago)
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?
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 17:49 (seventeen years ago)
Donnie Darko > The Company
So not OTM, though I'd consider that possibility with Bubble Boy.
― Eric H., Wednesday, 22 October 2008 18:03 (seventeen years ago)
Morbs OTM.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 22 October 2008 18:10 (seventeen years ago)

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 :(

'nuff said. I don't do drama.
Milk makes it seem so amazingly easy to pick up JF in the subway.
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 19 December 2008 18:03 (seventeen years ago)
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.

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.
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 3 March 2009 09:12 (seventeen years ago)
he's so beautiful

Inviting Wisseau on stage and then stiff arming him when he lunged for the mic was a weird, uncomfortable moment.
― Moodles, Monday, 8 January 2018 17:46 (eight years ago)
I know, right? It's almost as if he was just exploiting the guy or something.
― Bobby Buttrock (Old Lunch), Monday, 8 January 2018 17:50 (eight years ago)
Ya think?
― Moodles, Monday, 8 January 2018 17:51 (eight years ago)
It never occurred to me before but...yeah, I think he might be. Oh, man. I'm gonna need to sit with this for a minute.
― Bobby Buttrock (Old Lunch), Monday, 8 January 2018 17:58 (eight years ago)
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.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 8 January 2018 18:12 (eight years ago)
Yeah but he could have let him say hi or something. idk. It seemed rude to me too.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Monday, 8 January 2018 18:14 (eight years ago)
say hi
Ha.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 8 January 2018 18:42 (eight years ago)
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.

everyone in town knows that james franco is a creep and that stories about his behavior were about to break. the hollywood foreign press knew it too but gave him an award anyway.— Katy Stoll (@katystoll) January 8, 2018

Franco's greatest acting moment remains:

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 (eight years ago)
Just for entertainment's sake. You don't put Tommy Wiseau onstage in front of 19 million viewers and not let him speak.
― jmm, Monday, 8 January 2018 19:44 (eight years ago)
xp
Fair enough
― Moodles, Monday, 8 January 2018 19:46 (eight years ago)
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
― frogbs, Monday, 8 January 2018 19:50 (eight years ago)
Are there allegations against him other than that he hit on a 17-year-old (i.e. legal, although too young for a 30-something to be hitting on) girl?
― IF (Terrorist) Yes, Explain (man alive), Monday, 8 January 2018 20:35 (eight years ago)

Cute #TIMESUP pin James Franco. Remember the time you pushed my head down in a car towards your exposed penis & that other time you told my friend to come to your hotel when she was 17? After you had already been caught doing that to a different 17 year old?— Violet Paley (@VioletPaley) January 8, 2018

and apparently had his students upload audition videos to Vimeo which were then leaked to pr0n sites.
for art
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 12 January 2018 19:08 (eight years ago)
in la yep
this was actually fairly well known among actors in la i'd say
― infinity (∞), Friday, 12 January 2018 19:08 (eight years ago)
it's not as uncommon as you'd think
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"
how do i know this
because a couple of my exes were dancers and one happened to attend an audition/rehearsal and the other knew that he was a creepy motherfucker
― infinity (∞), Friday, 12 January 2018 19:13 (eight years ago)
Oh well, I'm back to my original "fuck James Franco" position, a very quick reversal.
