Great one, TG. I could have saved myself a lot of words with that one image.
I forgot to mention another reason I'd been rooting for James Franco. I once had lunch with his dad. Yep. This was circa 2001. I was early into my contracting phase, doing various software programming gigs. The senior Franco needed help with some of his gigs and was interested in me as a subcontractor. Shortly after that lunch, he emailed me and wanted me to take a gig in Ireland. That was just a bit too big a jump for me, and I passed on it -- though in hindsight maybe I should have leaped in with both feet. Anyway, at that time a TV movie about James Dean was about to be telecast, and yes, it was starring James Franco as James Dean. So I was thinking, holy shit! He must be good if he's playing James Dean!
Within a couple months after that lunch, we had the dot-com crash. As for mister big fuddy duddy superstar James Franco, he has -- to my mind -- crashed as well.
