Our Thoughts on James Franco

So, the internets have announced that James Franco is going to guest star on General Hospital, possibly for a months-long arc. Let me repeat, James Franco- star of huge movies like Spiderman and Milk, an actor who has major box office draw, is taking time out of his schedule to work on a soap opera. For those of you who aren’t familiar with what it’s like to film a soap opera, it’s grueling. Like 15 hour days, no time to do anything else, and the number of people who tune in are in the thousands. Traceface and I react to this news after the jump.

jheldrich:  I think we need to do a speculative post on this

thoole:  shut. up.

jheldrich:  RIGHT?

thoole:  i guess if he has the time, and the soaps are really suffering right now?

i suppose it’s nice of him

jheldrich:  how does he have the time?

HOW?

he’s a full time student at 2 universities

and that Howl movie

and that stupid Eat Pray Love movie, and 2 others, I think

thoole:  he’s really TWINS

jheldrich:  haha

that would explain a lot actually

except that SNL digital short

thoole:  haha

jheldrich:  nothing explains that digital short

I’ve thought about it

thoole:  dear james, it’s understandable if you were just really high when you signed up for this. i’m sure you’ll be great.

We are deep.

And so is James Franco
