You know what this reminds me of is how Vice used to let James Franco publish his like shitty book and movie reviews.

0:07.8

Well, you know, he had several different incarnations of this.

0:11.1

Like he also wrote for Indywire.com.

0:14.2

And on Indywire, he had a couple of different columns.

0:16.8

One was called James and Samaj, which is James spelled backwards, where it was him interviewing

himself about various film-related topics. And he had another column that I think only lasted one

1:12.9

when I first read it, and it stuck with me to this day. The Sound in the Fury was William's fourth

1:18.6

book, and it has a stream of consciousness flow that be like one of my fly-ass freestyles.

1:29.7

One thing I will say about jackass though, which I think makes it very precious and which
