At the last minute, James Franco backed out of his controversial UCLA commencement speech, but not before taping a practice speech.

“The thing about college is that it takes minds into space like a rocket.”

    I can’t wait until some senior class president does that rocket bit or the Obama bit at his high school graduation. Not one of those square senior class president, the cool one who was never in leadership but as a sophomore he drank with all the seniors and he had a big house that he threw parties in. Yeah, that kid is exactly like Obama.

    I’d like to do a quote from one of my favorite commencement speakers, “It’s a very scary time to graduate. But thank goodness all of us college graduates are guaranteed steady and lucrative jobs because of our college degrees”. James Franco is a gentleman and a scholar. Godbless him.

    I am so glad James Franco decided to start being funny. Because he is! An adorable face and being the green goblin only gets you so far.
