James Franco and his LIPS !!!

say hi

Ha.

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.

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.

Just for entertainment's sake. You don't put Tommy Wiseau onstage in front of 19 million viewers and not let him speak.

xp

Fair enough

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

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?

yeah

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?

Colbert, to his credit, asked James Franco about accusations of sexual misconduct and abuse that were posted on Twitter during the Golden Globes on Sunday. pic.twitter.com/KDITwoJi4w

James Franco taught a class on how to simulate sex scenes?

and apparently had his students upload audition videos to Vimeo which were then leaked to pr0n sites.

for art

xp

in la yep

this was actually fairly well known among actors in la i'd say

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

Oh well, I'm back to my original "fuck James Franco" position, a very quick reversal.
