Hollywood has been bastardizing good books for decades. It sometimes leads to plebs reading the original books and being better for it. There's no reason he should be stopped.
There's nothing commendable about his bullshit either.

Franco is actually highly educated, and according to Rogen (and Franco) he doesn't get even get "high".

Getting a bunch of honorary degrees from universities that like the fact he's a famous actor hardly qualifies as "highly educated".

It's one of my favorite books but I don't see why I should care about a movie being made about it. I have no desire to watch it but I don't care what other people do.

Franco is turning into a sort of high-brow Adam Sandler in the sense that he is using his movies as vehicles to give his buddies a payday. Seth Rogen and Danny Mcbride in a fucking Sound and Fury adaptation?

this trailer is really leaning on that music from beasts of the southern wild

i hate when trailers use film scores from other movies, and it's particularly egregious when the movies in question are somewhat similar
