He forgot the basic actor’s maxim of, “Never go full retard.”

I can’t say for sure that James Franco’s films as a director are awful, because I haven’t seen any of them. But I did watch the trailer for The Sound And The Fury, which features Franco playing Benjy Compson as though Ben Stiller’s Simple Jack was a how-to guide, and it’s definitely awful.

Ha, I had the same reaction and had to check imdb in case it was a typo.

There’s a sweet spot that most bad movies miss. It has to be unintentional, so intentionally campy movies don’t make the cut (No Robo Geisha, thanks), and there has to be a baseline amount of competence (That removes Birdemic from the discussion). The Room is a movie where one man made a God honest attempt at art.…

96% on Rotten Tomatoes and a “universal acclaim” on Metacritic. I think it’s safe to bet this is an excellent movie and Anton Ego here had an ingrowing toenail bothering him or the like.

You’re just a little chicken! Cheep cheep Cheep cheep cheep!!!

So anyway how’s your sex life?

James Franco has somehow directed eighteen goddamn movies while no one was paying attention or caring whatsoever?

This review is almost as savage as this website redesign.

For real. Every review I’ve read so far have given it huge praise.

Denny, two is great but three’s a crowd. Hahaha.

Huh. The reviews from SXSW were really positive. I’m a little apprehensive now. Still, as an avid advocate for The Room, I’ll still go see it.

You’re my favorite customer.

Hairspray, the 2007 version is one of my favorite movies and having seen other actors play Link, nobody comes close to Zac Efron. He was awesome in that.

This is...not even slightly true, and yet still oddly compelling.

He’s like Michael Caine, with abs.

What a story!

I gotta say, I’m increasingly impressed with Zac Efron of late. Even in sub par films, he always brings it, and every movie is better for it.

Wow, first bad review I’ve read. You really laid into it.
