I hit up the Hollywood Video last night for the first time in what seemed like forever, and I just couldn't decide what to rent. First, I was going to get 'Pineapple Express' and 'Milk', but then I rembmered that I hate James Franco. As much as I dig Seth Rogan and Sean Penn, I just wasn't in the mood for the Franco...
I ended up getting 'Rachel Getting Married', 'Synechdoche NY', and 'Twilight'. Yes, THAT 'Twilight', the one that tween girls the world over deafened us all with their squee-ing over. AND, of those three movies, I chose to watch that one first. yes, I am ashamed of myself. kind of. but not really...I can't help it; the nerd in me LOVES vampires! their whole 'eternal outsider, eternally alone' rap is totally my style.
anyways, it was awesome and awful at the same time. horrible, terrible, cringe-worthy effects, but awesome in the moody, brooding, restrained passion department.
I recommend that guys NEVER watch it. and I recommend that girls (who like that kind of movie) do what I did: rent it, watch it in secret, and then pretend it never happened.

hang on a sec... I thought it was ME who hated Franco! I recall you being a big "Freaks and Geeks" fan and loving the Franc-ster. Am I wrong?
I must admit that he was funny in Express and showed some real acting chops in Milk. I recommend both.
Drake OUT!
you are correct that I loved Freaks and Geeks and did not know yet to hate Franco. pretty much anything after that, though, ugh. he just happens to always be in roles that make me want to punch him in his giant mouth.
I've heard from other people that he is particularly good in Milk, and I love Sean Penn, so I will definitely check that one out sometime soon.
