James Franco playing two character

>James Franco playing two character

Literally why? Ignoring the fact that its Franco, the whole "same actor playing twins" shtick is so cheesy and cliche. It makes me want to drop this instantly.

Why notnjust hire his brother?
Oh because then they'd have to pay two actors.

> "same actor playing twins" shtick
It isn't always bad. I thought it was fucking great in Arrested Development.

OP is a retard. This thread is now about the best girl.

>cries at movies
>read books

Why is she so perfect?

>"same actor playing twins" shtick is so cheesy and cliche

name everything ever that has done this, i dare you

Adam Sandler - Jack & Jill
Ewan McGregor - Fargo S3
Lindsay Lohan - The Parent Trap

Just a few off the top of my head

>Lindsay Lohan - The Parent Trap
>he doesn't know

This show is great so far, fuck anybody hating

Nic Cage in Adaptation

The glorification of an industry that represents the decline of American morals should be enough for you to drop this.

failure

>The glorification of an industry

I have aspergers and I can perfectly tell the shows doing the opposite, are you retarded?

Worse is the show follows the beta bartender brother instead of the degenerate gambler brother

They are identical twins and based on real people, you bitter contrarian sheet stain. If you spend your life this easily annoyed you will die young of some stress-related disease.

>I'm tired of getting accosted for my twin brother's actions
>Let me keep the same hairdo and mustache, though

Tom Hardy - Legend

Nope in Ep 2 Frankie distinctifies himself facially

>Why don't you just shave your mustache, man?
>I can't! It's the seventies!

True leaks from the script.

are u blind m8

Vincent is using his brother-in-laws union ties to skim money off workers' paychecks, right? He's then giving that money to the Mob? How is that not objectively evil?

At least it's not "same actor plays completely different characters"

Franco can't really play other characters he just plays the same guy every time - himself. Spring breakers was fucking lame.

Because everyone was hustling back then, one way or another. And he desperately needs the money to pay off his brother's crippling debts. The alternative was to skim the bar, but you don't shit where you eat.

What does Spring Breakers have to do with anything? He doesn't play two characters in that.

The only recent show that pulled the "same actor playing twins" shtick well coming through.

I think he is saying that James Franco doesnt play character he just plays James Franco.

>forgetting the classic paul dano in there will be blood

Yes he said that, and then threw in "Spring breakers was fucking lame." which has nothing to do with the thread or even the other part of his post.

The social network with the arian twins

there is no easy way to say this.

you are an idiot

What the hell is someone like you doing on Sup Forums at all?

Nic cage performance as the Kaufman twins in that movie was so convincing the editor credited him twice in the credits.

>Lindsay Lohan - The Parent Trap
lol

If a doppelgänger counts, then so do clones. Which makes you wrong.

Is it just me, or does anyone else have trouble understanding what anyone is saying on this show?

I don't mean in regards to the lingo, but more of how the sound is edited. I'm only barely keeping up with the dialogue in most scenes, like the background and music are mixed too high and the actors are just mumbling and slurring half the time.

I still like the show regardless, but it feels like I'm fighting it.

How are you watching it? Are you watching it on HBO or are you downloading it from somewhere? If you're downloading it, it is possibly the encoding. Maybe try a different rip. If you are watching it on HBO then I don't have any suggestions.

That show does nothing well. Nothing. The original two seasons only did one thing well: make me realize how sexy Sherilyn Fenn is.

I can't believe I just saw a woman sucking a dick on TV.

>>read books
This is considered a special and unique quality in the current year.

It might actually just be your TV. Do you have a nice sound system, or did you just plug in your TV when you bought it and never touched the sound settings?

Because it's James Franco...

This girl was so adorable in her nude scene. The way she bit her lip and nodded her head like a little girl was so cute.

Forgot the picture. I hear she's in The Leftovers too, which I've been meaning to watch.

Her character isn't great in the Leftovers desu and they write her off abruptly. You should still give Leftovers a watch though.

Does she show her boobs?

She has a sex scene in the pilot but I can't remember if it shows anything

Well, it's something to see at least.

What is this show about? Is he gonna run poker games?

It was cringe seeing him talk to himself and call himself his brother.

i keep watching this show, but it feels like it has no center, it just keeps going with these characters and its all just pointless, like there was no passion behind the project

He runs porno.

I'm sure all these plotlines will converge eventually.

motherfucker we're at episode 2. are you being fucking serious?

maybe, but if you've seen Treme it's probable some storylines will never cross, that's just like how this guy makes his shows, man

i dont know if that would help though
that has nothing to do with it though, its just the feel of the show in general, its like, i don't know sterile somehow
this is a guaranteed one-season only endeavor.

the feel is exactly the same as The Wire or Treme: methodical, slow, workmanlike, objective. which may be the wrong approach for the subject matter, but i'd disagree it's sterile. but i get weak in the knees for 70s new york so whatever.

Man did they cast bad looking whores on purpose?

How does he go from, bar man to porno, how does the feminist fit into this.You sure he doesn't start a Hooters or a strip club?

they look like historically correct whores

I agree about the twins thing. I couldn't stand having two autismal Jakes in Enemy.

Yes, this is supposed to be realistic. Real Life whores don't look like Julia Roberts.

>julia roberts is attractive
this meme needs to die

>but it feels like it has no center

The center is the people working on and around the Deuce, you mongoloid.

heheheheheh "the deuce" hehehehehehehe poop hehehee

>which may be the wrong approach for the subject matter

Maybe if you just want to jump right in the middle of the porn stuff.

Julia Roberts has a spooky looking face. It doesn't help when she does that scary smile of hers with her mouth open wide enough to consume a baby.

nic cage in adaptation.

But that film was based

>How does he go from, bar man to porno,
Through the mob, with whom he's already working with as of ep 2.

>how does the feminist fit into this

Maggie will start making porn and make it more professional than the current "film it without sound or scriot in my dad's basement" model

Thanks man will check it out.

i want to really like this show but after this synopsis in ur post i really feel like they arent selling that feeling that theyre on the edge of a zeitgeist

Then you're anticipating something that isn't historically accurate for the birth of the modern sex industry. Porn had to fight for decades before it got to where it is now, and it was largely thanks to VHS and internet that it's become so normalized. It wasn't just a flip of a switch where suddenly you go from very underground porn to getting high class HD blacked.com productions. It was an uphill fight where small breaks allowed more hardcore shit to be distributed and they had to figure this shit out through trial and errors.

The Deuce is largely about how hooker, pimps, mobsters and other schmucks slowly started to get into creating porn that has production values, plot, actual porn stars like John Holmes and Linda Lovelace, etc. It's about how we went from non hardcore nudie show underground stag films to massive cultural shift that gave birth to classics like, Deepthroat, arguably the first mainstream plot driven porn film. It's a slow process.

Baskets is gud too

Damon Wayans - White Girls

Just off the top of my head

Basically half of Van Damme's filmography.

you seem to be a better candidate for selling a story on this stuff than The Deuce

The show is doing it just fine. Ep 1 was just introducing the setting and cast. Ep 2 is already showing us how the sex industry worked prior to the nearing revolution, through the scenes with the photoshoot, visits at the adult book store (the black hooker who was ripped off and the vice squad), the porn theater and Candy shooting her first movie. It's getting there and it's in no hurry since it's a large and complex point in history that the show is showcasing and David Simon always follows the events in his shows from multiple different perspectives.

It's like Treme all over again, goddamn.

I have high hopes for this. I was skeptical about Franco but there's not too much of him where he gets overbearing as two characters. Into it so far.

James Franco would play every part if he could get away with it. His is an arrogant talentless shithead.

It was just renewed for season 2.

>> Two flapjacks for you, Candy. :)

This is one of those garbage Paul Thomas Anderson novels, right?

PTA doesn't write novels and this is by the creator of The Wire.
