The James Franco Project → nymag.com

Finally got to read this piece at lunch today and what a treat!

Really fun, weird, interesting stuff. My favorite part is below:

“Franco, you might say, is queering celebrity: erasing the border not just between gay and straight but between actor and artist, heartthrob and intellectual, junk TV and art museum. His obvious relish for gay roles challenges the default heterosexuality of Hollywood leading men like Clooney or Pitt. He seems more interested in fluidity, in every sense, than in a fixed identity.”

My Sluthood, Myself. → jezebel.com

“Sluthood isn’t just a choice we should let women make because women should be free to make even “bad” choices. It’s a choice we should all have access to because it has the potential to be liberating. Healing. Soul-fulfilling.”

“I was thinking the other night about appearances, specifically in reference to those we love. When we meet someone, they are as defined by a pimple or a haircut or a sweater as by anything else. When you come to know and love someone, it is as though a lens zooms in and these same things become merely ancillary to the person underneath. Then, when you are no longer so closely joined, thing begin to pan again: once again, you can make a moral determination on someone based on his hair or his clothes. We look for them in someone’s ex girlfriend, or an old partner. Failures in this realm become a petty victory; you lose all the blindness - and focus - of love, even if you’ve reacquired it with someone else. Why can’t we translate that property?” —via

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited.” —Sylvia Plath (via youhadforgotten)

The Kids are All Right → rogerebert.suntimes.com

“‘The Kids Are All Right’ centers on a lesbian marriage, but is not about one. It’s a film about marriage itself, an institution with challenges that are universal.”

Amen, Eebs.

Hands down, one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. Chadis and I cried so hard, that even after we splashed water on our faces and blew our runny noses, we overheard this couple mutter, seemingly horrified, “what movie did they see?”
