Anthony Lane (ETA actually it's writer Janet Manley making fun of Lane, whoops) expounds some purple prose on the subject of James Franco in a brief profile you can read over here. (pic via) I have highlighted the most memorizing passage here though:
"Beneath his taut v-neck, a lean but hard body is etched, and if I look closely, I can see the nipples that brought us such wrenching performances as a trapped canyoner in 127 Hours and a talking rock in Oz: The Great and Powerful. Seeing him here in mortal form I am reminded that he didn’t really saw his arm off in his portrayal of Aron Ralston. Rather, he amputated his star wattage from an onscreen character using the sharp saw of artistry. Of course, Franco-philes know not to underestimate the talents stored beneath the scruffy jeans crinkling and folding before me, full jeans, they are."

Is this actually someone parodying Lane's breathless profile of Scarlet Johansson, to expose his male gaze lechery? Brilliant none the less.
Oh yeah that totally makes sense, I couldn't figure out why that other woman's name was attached to the story. HA I AM A FOOL. Thanks, Tom! Very funny work she did.
