James Franco's NYU Film Filled With Male Genitalia

James Franco, eating gold. NBD.

James Franco's NYU film school thesis project has finally seen the light of day, and word is it's heavy on the male genitalia. A source told Life & Style, "It pretty much had no plot and featured men in clown masks, men in dog masks, and shots of male genitalia urinating. I think everyone was shocked by how much male nudity there was."

This seems to all fit in line with that really weird James Franco story that popped up on the internet earlier this year. In it, a Franco fan goes up to Woodstock to (unknowingly) be in a film the actor was working on; "he gets there, and the lights are all off, and Franco is lying on a couch, all tangled in blankets wearing nothing but a speedo. Franco goes, 'the script’s already on the table, man. You’re playing Alan.' Sure enough, there are some scenes typed up on the table, and there’s a character named Alan…without any lines. His only role is to get ass-raped in this one part."

While we await that video to show up on the YouTubes, after the jump you'll find another video which co-stars Franco. In it he wears one of his many hats, as Wall Street Journal contributor, and sits down to eat gold (GOLD!) with none other than his BFF Marina Abramović.

Big deal. My pants are filled with male genitalia.

"Filled" may be an overstatement.

(Unless you're talking about the back of your pants, of course.)

John Clavis

He's got that damp, greasy look about him that women seem to love...

Kojak

Whatever. He's Gay

He will always be tops with me, purely due to his genius work in "Freaks and Geeks". Of course, so will Linda Cardellini.

Carlos the Dwarf 4ever!

I love James Franco's educational endeavours, be it film making about male genitalia or snoozing during a lecture at Columbia.

regardless, he's just the cutest :)

snickerdoodle

Awesome. Sounds like a movie I need to see. Does Franco do the full monty? :)

Why must Franco persist in these interesting absurdist antics? Why can't he be a REAL celebrity and get in red carpet feuds with other actors after screwing Justin Timberlake and getting pectoral implants? Then he could appear on "Dancing with the Stars" and make the cover of US Weekly!

He has Joaquin Phoenix envy.

hotstepper

I think he's a gay drug addict.

chuzzlewit

in which case the headline should read 'james franco's nyu film filled with C O C K'.

inoyourider

Doesn't it?

chuzzlewit

maybe she tried that version and got this: "Your headline has been received and held for approval by the blog owner"

Hahahah, I think he gets it. You're buying what he's selling, & what he's selling is that he thinks it is HILARIOUS that you are buying what he's selling.
