i'm minorly obsessed with owls, grey, astrology, milk, left-handedness, oscar-bait, songs that end with long orchestral bits, avoiding all cancers, soap operas, flying, slang, thursdays, wet hair, philadelphia, "festa del cinema" instead of "festival del cinema", and always roman wild.

At a time when budgets are stretched as tight as a spandex bikini on a hippopotamus, some fans will undoubtedly wonder how ABC convinced the star of box office blockbusters to appear on a daytime soap. Hang onto your stethoscopes, GH fans: [James] Franco actually approached General Hospital about the gig. The actor is reportedly using his stint in Port Charles as research for an upcoming film in which he’ll play a soap star.
Soap Central. Suddenly this whole thing makes more sense. I was trying to explain the whole thing to my mom a few weeks ago, and the conversation went something like this
Me: I just don’t understand why he’s going on a soap.
Mom: He must be hard up for money.
Me: That’s not it. He’s like, a real actor. He’s in real movies.
Mom: Everyone does things they don’t want to do.
Me: No, you don’t get it. He’s up-and-coming. He’s in two graduate programs. He’s in Oscar nominated films.
Mom: Two graduate programs? That explains it.
Me: No, Mom, he’s famous. That doesn’t explain it.
I am ashamed a bit at that “real actor” remark though. Sorry, soap stars, I love you and you are so real actors and I said that back when I didn’t love you enough yet. I’m so, so sorry.
