can't decide on james franco

Faithful readers, perhaps you can weigh in. The actor James Franco is talented, handsome and pretty prolific - he takes photos and is earning a masters in creative writing at an Ivy League university, or something like that. He's been in some crazy good movies, like 127 Hours and Milk. Yet whenever he flashes that squinty smile, I find myself squirming. Is he too cheesy? Too sanctimonious? Too smug? Maybe all three. Can't decide. Is he super gifted and the rest of us are just embarrased by his accomplishments, or is he taking his roles in Howl and James Dean too seriously? Thoughts, please.

    His scene in "Pineapple Express," in which he gets his foot stuck in the windshield of a squad car, is the one laugh-out-loud funny scene in that movie. And I liked him on "Freaks and Geeks."

    ...But, man, did he stink up the Oscars. I partially blame the telecasts' writers for that one, though.
