In tribute to what I keep hearing and hearing is James Franco's superb comic performance in Judd Apatow and David Gordon Green's Pineapple Express (said to be his best since playing James Dean in that Mark Rydell TNT movie), here are episodes #1 and #2 of "Acting with James Franco." Comedy releases him on some level.

I actually thought the third one (link available at the end of those two) was the funniest.

"Rebel Without a Cause? What's your cause, not sniffing jackets?"

Also, Franco in these clips is a dead ringer for the young, scruffy Bruce Springsteen.

Two years from now, when someone decides to remake True Romance, Franco will make a perfect Floyd.

HIs performance as James Dean is one of my 10 favorite ever.

He looks like a thinner Baldwin brother.

Judd Apatow must have been so confused about the way Franco has been used by Hollywood in the last ten years, probably almost as much as Wes Anderson has been by the attempt to turn Owen Wilson into a romantic comedy star. Glad he's helping us remember how funny Franco is with PINEAPPLE.
