This here is straight out of the 'sensitive guy' playbook of every 20-something hipster. God, he's so cliche. God, right? Don't hurt yourself patting yourself on the back there, bro. Later, when you WRITE A STORY ABOUT THIS NIGHT, be sure to include what a stand-up guy you are. (Though--and I say this as a Salinger lover--Salinger seems like a really anodyne, pedestrian choice for such a psuedo-intellectual hipster. You think he'd go for, like, Neruda or Camus or something.) First, I love you for using the word anodyne...aaand I know JF has no idea what it means. Listen, everyone (who's under 15) knows you're not freakin' cool unless you dig Catcher in the Rye. Second, reading his description of a DOOR LOCK makes him sound like he didn't finish h.s., forget having a college education. Even Ethan Hawke is somewhere snickering. |

bklynred, you are on to something here. We need Ethan Hawke and James Franco to have a go at each other!

I have a feeling Ethan would crush him. He's been honing his act for a lot longer and I think he's actually read some books. They might tie in "I look super dirty" as well as "I am so far up my own ass..."

I hate to say it, but James Franco makes Ben Affleck look like an intellectual giant.

Fairly OT: I love Catcher. I really do. Like, with all my heart. I started reading it when I was super young and soooo much went over my head. I was drawn in by the word "damn" around 11 or 12 and I was HOOKED. I've really loved re-reading it over the years and seeing how my view of Holden changes with my age. I thought he was sooo cool when I was a teen (call me, Winona!) and then as I got older, my perspective changed and now I just want to write this big intervention case plan for this poor kid. I still call people Last Name-Kid in honor of Ackley Kid, and my husband snerks about *ahem* giving "the time." I think it is a great book that nailed some teenage bullshit. That said, Salinger sounds like a creep, none of his other works resonated with me, and if a guy *ever* tried to read him to me like he was some intellectual giant and he was treating me to some kind of literary renaissance, I'd kick him in the nuts and decidedly not sleep with him. And seriously, what a cliche. I'm no book snob but if some guy wanted to school me on books, he'd better Bring. It, and actually want to share something, as opposed to congratulating himself about how he was allegedly educating me. And I'm sure Lindsay had heard of Salinger.
Which brings me back on topic: James, I was fan because I was certain you were ironically being a hipster douchelord. Now I know you are just a douchelord for too many reasons. It's over, dude. Jackass.

Pretentious-Off cage match! I'd love to see this guy go up against GOOP and her "conscious uncoupling." |

Dude, Your Gay - HaHaYep, a 36-year-old man in the year 2014 is teasing his younger brother by calling him gay. He (and his Apatow/Freeks and Geaks friends) needs to grow up already, and they can get the cobwebs of the intolerant past with the old jokes that went with it out of their heads while they're at it too. Come up with new material you lazy assholes.

I hope Dave Franco isn't as douchey as him because I'm a little bit in love with Dave Franco right now. Speaking of Dave Franco, did anyone see his bit with Conan where they joined Tinder? It's pretty funny/adorable. |

Isn't he just making fun of a stupid tabloid headline here? He does that a lot on his Instagram with both his brother and himself.
It is sort of unfortunate, since there are A LOT of persistent rumors that Efron is gay and really struggling with it, and having people laughing at the possibility could be a head fuck.
