James Franco As Hugh Hefner...


...looks about 30 in this role, surely "Heff" would've been closer to 50 when Deep Throat came out?!

Bump.

I didn't think about that, since all I saw was how much Franco phoned it in. He didn't even try to look the part, or even attempt to mimic Hugh Hefner's distinct inflections, demeanor, nothing. What a lazy actor he was in Lovelace. He was busy that year, I get it. But come on, he's portraying Hef in a biopic. Put some work in.

Oh my goodness, SO MUCH!!!
Ho shyit is your profile pic of who I think it is?! Daniel Clowes is one of my favourite cartoonists of all time...probably one of the only cartoonists alive legitimately possessed by genius....if not, well, that certainly looks like Rachel and Enid in her "Adam's II" latex catgirl mask!
