I'm actually starting to see the hilarity in these terrible James Franco literary adaptations, like you know some sadsack auteur has been preparing his version of Sound and Fury since 1975 and then Franco comes in like "yoink" with that Funny or Die looking shit.

 

Franco gets the signifying nothing  part down pat though.

Just how bored is James Franco? I just read he's teaching a high school class right now and it's like dude, sit down for a while.

Courtney was OK in The Water Diviner (one of the few good parts of a terrible movie). Probably helped that he got to use his native accent. 

[Jack Nevada]

I'm pretty sure Jai Courtney was created in a lab after some exec said "we need a new generic white Action Dude"

If Deadpool flops, Ryan Reynolds can join Jai Courtney in True Detective season 3.

You don't get to a hundred pages quoting Shakespeare.

I want to know why is he picking on Faulkner.  Why can't he pick on F. Scott Fitzgerald, Theodore Dreiser, Eugene O'Neill or Tennessee Williams for a change?

Is the YA genre going to die once THG, Maze Runner and Divergent finish their films?

 

Looks like the well is almost dry.

If Marvel can get away with making the exact same movie over and over again indefinitely, I don't see why the YA formula would suddenly burn out.

Star Wars is space opera. Which is much classier than YA.
