I so do not get the James Franco thing. I see him, and I just want to smack that ridiculous pout off his face.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Obiwan is actually Henri Ducard. Now I must go google to figure out who the heck that is.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ah, James Franco is to you what Christian Bale is to me.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I get the James Franco lust, in an objective sort of way. I don't really want to do him, but I can see why others might.
Oh, OK, if JF were lying in my bed with only a container of Ben & Jerry's cappucino heath bar crunch and a smile to his name, I probably wouldn't kick him out. But I prefer Peter Parker, in spite of Tobey's voice. There I was, empathizing with the whole geek in highschool thing, and suddenly he developed arm muscles. And, um, yeah.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
James Franco annoyed me almost as much as Anakin Skywalker.

Ouch, that's a pretty high-level of annoyance. At least we're not likely to have to sit through watching a cloyingly cute 10 year old version of Harry saying "I get to be a jedi? Yipee!"

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I was saying that, while I liked the movie, I was unable to find its theme. She said she thought it was just supposed to be about memory. I wanted it to say something about memory.
I thought the movie had more to say about love than about memory. Then again, I don't necessarily believe that a movie needs to have an overarching message or theme that can be stated baldly; that's not terribly interesting to me. (Sorry if I'm misrepresenting your point.) I love Eternal Sunshine because it's sad and hopeful and beautiful and weird, because I love the characters, because their last scene together in the hallway makes me ache. Everything about that movie works for me: the structure, the acting, the music, the lighting, the writing. What more would you have wanted, Nonian? (Not trying to be confrontational, just asking.)

I'd take the ice cream, and then kick him out.

I'd agree, except that Hayden Christensen has been really good in everything else he's ever been in, whereas I have yet to see proof that James Franco can fully open either his eyes or his mouth.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Kate P. is me in this thread too.

Oops, I was actually thinking of Aanakin, teen padawan. Not that annoying kid.
I would love JarJar forever if only he'd kicked little Annie into the intake of a pod-racer engine.
