A Twitter defence of James Franco (right), who has been accused of sexual assault explicitly by one actress and implicitly by others:

If you read closely, it said it happened during filming of Palo Alto. The movie stars Franco as a man who seduces a younger woman. James Franco is a method actor. Bad judgement yes, but you know how method actors immerse themselves in roles.

I hope nobody casts this guy in any film about the Holocaust or any other atrocity.
