Looking Good, James Franco

.

These are from the latest issue of GQ, via JJ. Also, people need to lighten up regarding James' comments on kissing Sean Penn. Because, first off, I'd feel icky about having to kiss Sean Penn. And it's not like he's said he wanted to kill himself after it was done... he's just admitting it was a little weird. I'd feel weird making out with a stranger too. Well... if I were sober. And they were a girl. I'd feel weird about that. It's not like he dug up Harvey Milk's corpse and gay-bashed it. Jeez. I thought was he said was funny:

"The first kiss of the movie was out on Haight Street, with, like, 200 people watching, outside. I’m sure in the end it will be a really cool shot, but it starts close and then it takes maybe a minute. That’s a long time on film with everybody watching, and, like, a fake moustache getting in your mouth. It was long enough that you couldn’t help but thinking, ‘Oh, my God, I’m kissing Spicoli.’”

Yes he is. Yes he is.

It's because a lot of people who comment on Towleroad have spent their entire lives being negative all the freakin' time and take even the most minute opportunity to call someone "homophobic" because, oh I dunno, it makes them feel better for when they complain about Madonna being too old or so and so's stomach not looking like the biproduct of working out 12 hours a day.

It is kind of funny how James can't seem to shut up about making out with Sean Penn. And I do share the impulse that anything that makes Jimmy Kimmel laugh, gay-wise, can't be all positive. But yeah, there's some overreaction going on.

But, isn't that what we, The Public, want to hear about? It's always the same silly trivial conversations in these magazines. If it were an actress who showed her boobs, we'd be hearing her go on and on about how many people were on set, how discreet the director was, blah blah blah. It's the same puritanical hypocrisy song-and-dance with "Sexiness!" for everybody.

And I personally don't mind if James Franco keeps talking to me about the way a mustache felt in his mouth, honestly. He can talk to me about that for DAYS.

I suppose it's a good thing that all this tittering is getting out of the way early. It'd just be a shame of Milk becomes, in the eyes of the culture, The Movie Where James Franco Kisses Sean Penn. That's all I'm saying. Mostly, I agree with you.
