koa Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Between his getting a ridiculous number of graduate degrees from programs he's not actually attending, to to his terrible performance in This is the End, I've always thought James Franco was a little ridiculous. But you have to check out his forays into "art." He is exhibiting at supposedly well respected galleries, too. http://news.artnet.com/in-brief/pace-to-show-james-francos-nude-paintings-of-seth-rogen-12640?utm_campaign=artnetnews&utm_source=042914daily&utm_medium=email http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/23/arts/design/james-franco-new-film-stills-arrives-at-pace-gallery.html?smid=fb-share&_r=1 http://www.vulture.com/2014/04/jerry-saltz-on-james-francos-new-film-stills.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 You should hate James Franco. He's totally useless as an actor and I have no idea why he's held in such esteem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTastybutt Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Gearhead said it. All I could do was scream but that doesn't translate well into text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo 'n dye Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I echo Gearhead (127 hours was excruciatingly boring, rather than edge of your seat) and the headline in the 3rd link says it all: At This Point, George W. Bush Is Actually a Better Artist Than James Franco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimako Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I kind of equate James Franco with Kim Kardashian. Mostly they are about going to the parties just to be seen then banking on that notoriety. And I agree he sucks as an actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koa Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Did not know about the thing with the school girl. Sounds really terrible. His paintings of James Franco and their video parodying Kanye West is arguably pretty homophobic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt07 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 You talking about the actor, artiste, and all-around polymath, James Franco? I've never heard of him, and I had to look him up on Wikipedia. I honestly don't know enough about him to care one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix_Rising Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 What a putz. If that's art, I've got a bunch of my own art I'd like to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Krazy Kat Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 gosh, I am let disappointed to read all of this I thought he was cute Yeah, I didn't know all of this about him, but then I again I don't know much about celebrity stuff. I thought he was hot in high school, ever since the "Freaks and Geeks" days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainweather Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 She was a Scottish girl in New York for her 18th birthday, in a hotel with her mum. Franco met her after a show of his that she attended and then messaged her via instagram to check her age and ask if she could meet him at a hotel (after praising her looks and body.) He specifically asked her if she was sure she was 18, which is the age of consent in NY. She did not attend and leaked the messages, at which point he had to appear on TV to explain, or in his case, just blow the entire issue off and joke about it. i thought that i read it was most likely a publicity stunt? either way, it's disgusting. not something to joke about, even in promotion of his film about the same subject.

cady Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 James is not a huge celebrity in the uk, i thought he was hot in spiderman but he creeped me out in spring breakers and was a bit annoying in oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
december_brigette Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Thank you to my CB family!!!! I can't stand James Franco!!! I have had so many conversations with a friend about why I hate him that friend won't let me talk about James anymore. It's hard because James keeps cranking out the crap. Although I did go out on a few dates with an "actor" (everyone is an "actor" in la but me) and he agreed that James was worthless. But someone like Philip Seymour Hoffman (RIP) was one of the finest actors of our time and Philip never did these kind of antics. I so agreed. What gets under my skin the most is that James apparently took a few poetry classes from a school that if i wasn't so crazy and didn't mind getting buried in school debt - I would plead to go for a MFA. No! No! No! I know he went there I just don't know if he actually graduated and it sickens me. Thanks for the vent. I wish James Franco would go away and live a hermit life for awhile. Who knows, it might even be more beneficial to him. db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
