It's weird how the universe works. Just the other day I was talking to a friend of mine about our favorite Vh1 show The Pickup Artist. Remember that show? That guy Mystery wore furry hats and make up and taught nerds how to pick up women. It was so weird on a number of levels. I can tell you this much, if Mystery hit on me with one of his pick up lines I would probably laugh in his face. Or make out with him. Depending on how I felt that day/drinks consumed.
ANYHOO, James Franco may play him in the adaptation of the book that the show was based on. That's right, that show was actually based on a series of words that got published. I'm really learning a lot today. #TILFRIDAY
The book, written by Neil Strauss, is entitled The Game: Penetrating The Secret Society Of Pickup Artists. I'd like to point out that the word "penetrating" was probably very specifically chosen to make me throw up in my mouth. The book highlights specific tips for picking up women but also dives into the "dark underbelly" of the scheming world. I'm assuming that the dark underbelly has something to do with hepatitis.
Of course James Franco is being considered for this role. I would also consider it an affront to everything I hold dear if he didn't wear the eyeliner and tinted ski goggles for the audition.
More news as events warrant. And believe me, I'm very interested to see what happens with this.
