Comments on: On Erased James Franco and Other Films as Films Disguised as Other Films http://lacma.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/on-erased-james-franco-and-other-films-as-films-disguised-as-other-films/ Fri, 17 May 2013 06:00:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: TEK http://lacma.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/on-erased-james-franco-and-other-films-as-films-disguised-as-other-films/#comment-373 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 23:19:59 +0000 http://lacma.wordpress.com/?p=3037#comment-373 I like that it references the late great Rauschenberg’s “Erased DeKooning”. If following the ideals originally set in place by Rauschenberg, this film series would mean nothing if it were not a “real” (famous) actor that was being destroyed. Without that it would just be a boring film with an anonymous person doing mundane things. With Franco’s involvement it leaves the rest of us questioning what is art? What is film? What is fame?

Love ya, James! But this ‘piece’ is just…….a piece of……..WHAT?!?!
It can’t really be described as anything other than – watching you (which is a treat) while you pour water into glasses and answer telephones. Sorry hon, but this is quite boring!

the stupid vid is hermetic enough without adding confusing art-crit-speak to it!

The only James Franco that’s any fun is Pineapple Express!
