Several tipsters have pointed us in the direction of this Observer piece, which announces that James Franco, MFA ‘?? will star as Allen Ginsberg, CC ’48, in an upcoming biopic.
And while we’re on the topic of Franco (the plaintive soul at right), last night he was spotted studying in Blue Java “with massive hipster headphones staring at his Mac.” Reportedly he looked “scruffy” and was sporting a black Jansport backpack.
That said, as a general policy and a nod to basic human decency, we will not be posting Franco sightings in real time. But continue to send them in, and we’ll do a FrancoWatch wrap-up whenever the need arises.

@Split There have been numerous sightings at NYU. Do you think he passed or is on some joint degree they only give to superstars ?

@Alum He’s not in a joint-degree program. He’s just enrolled in two different programs concurrently. There are probably other CU students with lower profiles who are doing the same thing (though not necessarily at NYU).
I doubt that either CU or NYU would even know Franco was attending both institutions but for all the publicity.
@MFA 08 And strangely enough, Franco in Richard Howard’s lecture this semester and Richard Howard diddled Allen Ginsberg in the 60s.
@come oonnn! couldn’t you have picked a hotter picture of the man?
gawwwgeous
@franco i saw franco talking to someone in front of Havana yesterday and resisted the urge to make a Freaks and Geeks quote at rather high decibels.
@francophile I REQUEST A CHANGE IN POLICY. please. we demand realtime.
@check it This proves it’s a good policy.
@embarassed for you Speak for yourself.
@Rubeintz Haha
“Dude, we can get you so many chicks over at teta!”
“…”
@casual observer the best part was when a gaggle of frat boys approached him to try to get him to rush.
@pat on the back i definitely agree — let’s let james go to school in relative peace. he doesn’t need a bunch of obnoxious undergrads giggling or chasing after him.
@Speaking of Allen Ginsberg, first Philo meeting of the semester is this Thursday, 9:30PM in the Gustavino Room in the basement of St. Paul’s Chapel. Come debate Resolved: Natural Selection is over – We Won!
