A 32 Minute Film Of James Franco Trashing A Room

Sooooo, here's the deal. There's a 32 minute short film called 'The Room Before and After' where James Franco walks in and literally trashes a room to pieces. That's the entire film - a half hour of James going nuts in this room.

What do you think about the concept? Is it art? Or is it nonsense?

Oddly, I don't find it as stupid as that episode of "The Hills" I once caught at my dad's house.

This is what I was thinking, except it was in relation to "I'm a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here!" ;)

it is artsy in a way. As long as it's his own room we're good.

I did this once. It wasn't called art though, it was called a nervous breakdown. Hey, I guess I was ahead of my time! LOL

I thought it was funny... but I guess that's my sense of humor. Also, I couldn't help but notice some of the nice things he was destroying...

I've always found him attractive, but watching some of this makes him seem douchy.

Interesting. Maybe at one point they'll explain the concept behind it. Then it would be time to judge if nonsense or not. Right now, it doesnt make much sense but I wouldnt call it nonsense. (althought thats what this word means literally- i dont know)

It took him 32 minutes? What a slacker. I could have done it in five.

I'm going to lean towards nonsense. But it's not like he got high and trashed his hotel room, right? These people probably set this up in a soundstage or something. No more "wasteful" than any other show/movie set that gets blown up or otherwise destroyed.

In other words, I'm keeping an open mind. And sort of laughing. And wondering why it took so long.

You don't need JAmes Franco to do that. My 19 months old does it every day to our house :) I would prefer to see him putting it back together in 32 minutes (which I do every evening)

Like usual, I can't see the video at work, but it seems interesting.... I think it would be fun to destroy a room, as long as I wasn't ruining anything of value, and I didn't have to clean it up. :)

Nonsense and this is took 32 minutes?!?!? Maybe the art of it is in the idea of trashing the room slowly and artistically :-))) , otherwise no sense at all .

I actually found it very interesting that he didn't go for the shelves first, which is what I would have done. Anyways, I'd watch JF do anything for 32 minutes.

Stupid. Moronic. Sophomoric. Puerile. Infantile. Silly. At a time when the number of people who show up at soup kitchens has doubled, why are these imbeciles burning up money? If it's in the name of "art", I'll throw up.

wholphin is nutty. i've seen a couple of things starring michael starr, paul rudd, etc... it's the arty stuff that doesn't necessarily bring in the box office dollars.

This is amazing.
If someone asked me to destroy a room I'd do it without a second thought.
