James Franco's Oscar-host stint was widely regarded as a failure, or would have been, if he'd shown up. Now he has a new struggle: fighting back against people who criticize his Twitter feed. Hollywood Reporter says:

Clever. He drew them with his fingertip, too. If you go to his Twitter page, you don't exactly get an overwhelming list of obaservations or retorts; it's all urls. Some link to this page, where he posts pictures and videos, like this one: he's driving around in a car talking to someone, then he runs the clip through a filter that makes it look older and scratched up, because that makes it . . . look older and scratched up, I guess.

It's not the most fascinating site, but there are no rules for twitter except A) don't be a bot, B) don't justt retweet other people's stuff, especially boring people you happen to be sleeping with. So he's giving his fans little peeks into his world. Like this:
