@ We live in a world of technology and twitter is part of it. Critics reviewing movies quote feedbacks from tweets all the time concerning particular movies. Not sure why you find it funny, it makes sense. James Franco has a fanbase period.

1. The last time they killed James Franco off a franchise (Spiderman series), the franchise was quickly rebooted and he was the best performance in that franchise as a whole. 2. I remember the hate generated by Franco being in Rise of the Planet of the Apes last year via certain media outlets and the fact that it was truly successful movie. They wanted to attack him in regards to the movie failing but they couldn't, so they tried other methods, so I guess those fans will be truly happy, if he doesn't come back. Of course, it was essentially Andy's movie "ape" as the key word, who deserved an Oscar but James Franco played an important part and if you view tweets concerning Rise of the Planet of the Apes, they speak volumes in Franco's favour more than Andy now. Shame, but once the original Director left, I knew he might possibly follow. I'm sure Dawn will be successful but he will be missed by some.
