James Franco has been the name on critic’s tongues this week after his Oscar hosting job Sunday night. Whether they liked it or not, the critics have sure voiced their opinions.
However one critic seemed to hit Franco close to home and it had nothing to do with the Oscars.
Yale Daily News writer Cokey Cohen wrote, “James Franco, your Twitter sort of sucks,” in a piece posted on Saturday.
Franco initially joined Twitter in an effort to help modernize the Oscars and draw younger viewers.
Cohen was of the opinion that Franco should be sending out more than just “random links to pictures and replies to celebrities.”
“The pictures are okay in that a few are of him: candids are a Celebrity Tweeter staple. On the other hand, a lot of them—like this one—look like a fourteen-year-old girl with emo bangs and a Tumblr account attacked them with a few or her favorite Photoshop filters.”
So just what does Cohen feel fits celebrity Twitter account status? He would like to see Franco emulating Kanye West when it comes to tweets.
Well, Franco did not take too kindly to the criticism. On Tuesday he tweeted a picture of himself with the words “F--- THE YALE DAILY NEWS” across the photo.
Cohen was reportedly surprised about the response and said, if Franco was indeed targeting him, that it was “possibly the pinnacle of my career as a writer.”
He concluded by writing that Franco “ranted in the form of a random picture. #wellplayedsir…. I’m becoming convinced that James Franco’s whole life is a form of postmodern performance art. In that context, his Twitter fits right in.”
Well it looks like Franco won one critic over. Now on to the rest…
