i dont think he means it in an intimidating way. if im honest i think james franco is fascinated with jesse's personality as james can relate alot to him, i dunno
kit clarke also I think he was showing empathy (in addition to genuinely listening to what he was saying) since it was almost like Jesse barely got a word in from the beginning
I can relate to Jesse so much. When I'm high in a large group I get so fidgety from anxiety. You can tell he's overthinking his movements every now and then in his head. At least I can.
I do the same thing. I applaud him for continuing to talk. I would have shut down after a couple sentences. I wouldn't be able to look at anyone, just star are the table and vary nervous
If this helps and of course you might have searched about your personality, learn about carl jung Analytical psychology and further development on his theories. If I caused any disturbance then I would like to say sorry.
Stop smoking before you ruin your mental health - I speak from experience. You are creating neaural path ways - and eventually they will stick especially if you under 25. You will end up shy and introverted for life. I however as an adult see him as behaving humbly.
I think anything involving Jesse Eisenbergh is kind of awkward because Jesse is awkward in a cute way. :) Though he didn't speak that much so I don't know why it's awkward rest of the time.
*Robert Duvall* is the no nonsense old man. *Colin Firth* is the formal Englishman. *Mark Ruffalo* is the shy introvert. *James Franco* is the pretentious weirdo. *Ryan Gosling* is the mysterious handsome guy. *Jesse Eisenberg* is the stuttering, OCD dork.
It's like someone set up these meetings just to get a kick out of differing perspectives while we as the audience sit in confusion wondering why we can't sit with these people.
This might sound crazy but it really bothers me that the table isn't round and I keep getting this weird sideway angles from the actors plus the audio isn't normalized.
Just scrolling down here.... Looks like we've got some acting experts as well as behavioral psychologists breaking down each individual's current mood and personality based on people's mannerisms that seem to annoy them. ^^
This is great because there's a whole backstory undercurrent here, because of 127 Hours. Franco read for the role first, then Danny Boyle chose Gosling for it, then Gosling had to drop out for other reasons, and Danny called Franco again and signed him up for it.
It's almost shocking at times how the interviewer is not "reading" the actors. At times they are blatantly resistant to what he's asking, or even the idea of it, or they're uncomfortable, yet he just keeps pursuing that line.
Ryan Gosling is literally my favorite actor. He seems like he always plays himself on screen. Look at Blue Valentine, Drive, TPBTP, Half Nelson. he always like taking roles he knows he'll nail. He is very soft spoken and seem like a genuinely good guy.
I'm sorry but this is one of the reasons Ryan Gosling is one if not the best actor of our generation! When asked the question "what makes a good/ great actor?" 14:00-14:06 everyone looks at him and points! A room full of great actors and they all look to him!
I totally relate to Jesse's anxiety. I do the exact same thing when I have to talk to a group. Especially when a lot of people are tossing questions at you left and right. I applaud him for continuing to answer them. I would have been so anxious and nervous I would have shut down in fear. Or I would have answered in short one or two quick sentences
I agree with Ryan, people sometimes bash superhero movies saying that their just big budget CGI fests and everything is done for you but I believe that it is harder to act like fictional things are happening rather than to act in a real world situation, If you look at behind the scenes videos of these superhero movies you'll see actors acting opposite tennis balls which is I think a lot harder than acting opposite a human.
It's not as rewarding as an actor. That's a different kind of acting, and lesser in my opinion. It's not necessarily harder but it's more awkward and not natural.
The look of disbelief in Franco's eyes when Jesse starts bumbling over himself trying to answer a simple question. Its like he's thinking "how the fuck is this kid sitting next to me?"
Duvall owned that room. Watching these young up-and-comers perched next to the guy who acted alongside Gregory Peck, Pacino, Brando, Tommy Lee Jones, and DeNiro in the movies that made them icons is the ultimate in juxtaposing wisdom vs. youth (Firth being the exception, being that he's been around for years). The moment he starts name-dropping, the rest of the room became mere conversational shadow. It's cool seeing the young guys like Gosling/Franco/Eisenberg take in what Duvall is saying. Duvall's worked with nearly everyone in the last three generations of film. Just an incredible array of filmography.
SeventhkeyOmega No, Jesse Eisenberg just regularly sounds like that/awkward, it's just the way he talks.James Franco... whilst looking creepy is just trying to listen to him I think.
***** Yeah he's awkward......but I tell you Eisenberg can feel Franco doing that...I don't know leeming it looks like Franco wants to let his little inner James Dean out here.
When this was first posted, I remember reading a comment like “I thought James Franco died at 21:00” and I couldn’t stop laughing. Nearly a decade later, this pops up in my recommended and I had to rewatch just for that moment. If anyone finds the original commenter, thank them for me!
@@Bookishbroccoli1 whenever I wanna respond to a comment I always check how long it was posted, if it's over 2 years I'm like "this person might not even be on TH-cam anymore" lol
When Duvall talks around 15/16 minutes, how many people find themselves watching Ryan Gosling's reaction and expression toward him? Interesting that the amount of expression in his face (you wonder what he's thinking) shows he has that natural potential to be a screen actor.
Does anyone else think Franco was kind of trying to impress when he talked about his 127 and James Dean and Milk etc parts, the way he talked looked like he was trying to impress the older actors behind the table.
They both read for 127 Hours. Gosling was chosen over him, but had to drop out, so Franco got the call after Gosling and ends up with an Oscar nomination out of it. They didn't address it directly, which could have been interesting, but it's the subtext there, and probably the reason Franco was so emphatic when saying "I didn't fight for the role" lol.
He was sitting across from Ryan Gosling and his natural romance novel glare. If it were me i would have nervously broke down because of how sexy that guy is, i'm a straight male by the way and I will admit Gosling fucking beautiful.
At 44:45 the interviewer asks Ryan Gosling a question but James Franco inexplicably answers it himself and either no one notices or they're all too scared to question him since he spent most of the last ten minutes looking like he wanted to eat Jesse Eisenberg's head.
Dream1ng no but the jacket he gave Coco was a brown version of the drive jacket with the scorpion on the back. Not from the film directly but still Drive paraphernalia.
It is a privilege to be able to witness how actors gain the wisdom of their conviction or lose the reason they hold in belief, and rare treat to see how some of them mature and become themselves regardless between now and when.
Bruno Kolic I don't care if he is an "artist", I hope he sells paintings (or whatever) for millions. Good for him. He is a shitty actor. When he isn't looking like he is about to fall asleep, he looks vaguely nonplussed or irritated...perhaps because he hasn't smoked a bowl in the last 20 minutes.
Jesse Eisenberg is truly an incredible human being and his degree of introspection is admirable. Almost sounds like he has ocd of having to clarify himself and his thoughts several times and I truly feel empathetic towards this guy because I have this problem as well. The thought that you have to correct every mis-understanding is difficult to live with. Maybe I am wrong and biased. Ryan Gosling wow what a humble human being and all the other actors as well. New found respect for these actors except James Franco. I don't know if it's the moustache that is making him look disingenuine but he seems pretentious. Quite likely he is going through a difficult time and trying to cover it up! Definitely worth watching.!
Because in between the "err"s and "uhh"s he actually chooses his words with intriguing precision. His conversation skills are compelling, hindered only by the extra time it takes him to think of certain words -- which, possibly more than anything, is endearing.
Well said Joey. Jesse Eisenberg seems to have such a beautiful way of speaking, and he talks so eloquently, with such an incredible vocabulary. He's honestly so very inspiring.
It's really lovely that robert duvall seems so genuinely interested in the process Ryan is describing. Also Ryan asking duvall about his directing process. They should work together.
I agree, Ryan Gosling is an amazing actor. I personally believe that Ryan Gosling's character in Drive is one of the most terrifying characters in cinema since Javier Bardem's character in No Country For Old Men.
Because this reporter has more integrity than others (and is probably backed by sponsors who have more integrity) than most Hollywood reporters (and their sponsors) These celebrities have more integrity and so choose to help him out, to make Hollywood more representative of truth and not the shitty spin mainstream Hollywood tries to put on everything

Madame Evie I wanted James Franco to speak more about playing James Dean
I love this. I love all their different tics and gestures and mannerisms. James Franco is so physical when he's talking - it's fascinating to watch.
Franco's just drinking coke and everyone else has water.
I wonder what that means? ;)
+Boswellboxer Illuminati.
To help him stay awake
What a lovely round of actors. It's nice seeing them all sitting side by side.
this was such an awkward roundtable,the only guy who was relaxed was mark ruffalo
Fr
Lol everyone's looking at Jessie like damn bro chill out. This guy need to calm down. James Franco gives him the the WTF stare
If he did one of those now,he'd be a lot more comfortable but at that time he was still pretty new to being in that circle...
Ryan Gosling should be incredibly proud of Lars. I think that was one of the best performances Ive ever seen. It's brilliant and misunderstood.
Jesse is as nervous in real life as most of his characters are.
look at james he looked like he was gonna kill him
Just scrolling down here.... Looks like we've got some acting experts as well as behavioral psychologists breaking down each individual's current mood and personality based on people's mannerisms that seem to annoy them. ^^
The one on one conversation that evolves between Robert Duvall and Ryan Gosling is incredible.
Did anyone notice at 3:00 when James was reading his coke can for like 1 minute 😂
That will be me
He wasn't even looking at the can
James Franco and Ryan Gosling are both the hot girls who hate each other, but who secretly want to be best friends.
I never thought that they hated each other i seen few or none of their work
This is great because there's a whole backstory undercurrent here, because of 127 Hours. Franco read for the role first, then Danny Boyle chose Gosling for it, then Gosling had to drop out for other reasons, and Danny called Franco again and signed him up for it.
When Ryan made a joke about his work in “Young Hercules” everyone laughed except for James Franco who seemed to be unamused.
Ryan's stutter is precious. Respect that he overcomes that for each role.
I never noticed it, he seems to be very thoughtful with his answers.
I would hardly call that a stutter
It's almost shocking at times how the interviewer is not "reading" the actors. At times they are blatantly resistant to what he's asking, or even the idea of it, or they're uncomfortable, yet he just keeps pursuing that line.
All of these things seem cold and uncomfortable.

I applaud him for continuing to answer them. I would have been so anxious and nervous I would have shut down in fear. Or I would have answered in short one or two quick sentences

15:25 I love Mark Ruffalo's response to Robert Duvall saying "Girls wanna cry"
42:20 Robert Duvall is like "wtf 70 takes, your a weird dude Jesse" lmao
Very different personality. Duvall has always come off as confident and is from a different generation.
Jesse Eisenberg said he make 50 takes , the one who made over 70 takes on hes movies was Stanley Kubrick.
Robert Duvall is one of the greatest actors who ever lived.
When Duvall talks around 15/16 minutes, how many people find themselves watching Ryan Gosling's reaction and expression toward him? Interesting that the amount of expression in his face (you wonder what he's thinking) shows he has that natural potential to be a screen actor.
When Mark said "Oh God I hope he is coming here to fire me" I literally laughed so loud :D

how the fuck they get all these a list celebrities to sit down at a table together for an hour
Probably because they're contractually obliged with the studios. No promotion = no money.
Because this reporter has more integrity than others (and is probably backed by sponsors who have more integrity) than most Hollywood reporters (and their sponsors)

He actually looks pretty tired, not stoned.
He said he doesn't really smoke. Confirmed by Seth Rogen. His first smoke was on the set of Pineapple Express.

Here's a quote from Michael Herr, who helped write Full Metal Jacket:
"Nor could I explain that strange irresistible requirement he had for pushing his actors as far beyond a “naturalistic” style as he could get them to go, and often selecting their most extreme, awkward, emotionally confusing work for his final cut.
The peculiarity of it: George C. Scott in Dr. Strangelove, Patrick Magee in A Clockwork Orange, and Jack Nicholson in The Shining, just to pick the most blinding examples; Scott complained publicly that Stanley not only directed him way over the top but also chose the most overwrought takes for the final cut, while Nicholson’s performance turned The Shining into a movie that largely failed as a genre piece but worked unforgettably on levels where it didn’t matter that there was a huge movie star and great actor on the premises or not.
(Nicholson did some of his greatest work, and his very worst, in The Shining, and the same could be said of the director.) “That was much more real,” Stanley told him after a take, “but it isn’t interesting.” Even the biggest stars knew what it was like to be a pawn in Stanley’s game: “That was really great. Let’s go again.”"
Yup actors seem more like props to him. Especially in The Shining.
