James Franco is an actor with a lot of college degrees (BA, UCLA; MFA, NYU; MFA, Columbia; PhD in progress, Yale). John Irwin is the consummate Johns Hopkins academic (tweed jacket, thick glasses, ridiculous stores of knowledge). And this Friday afternoon, the two of them will have a nice little chat about poet Hart Crane at Johns Hopkins, thus fulfilling one of the fondest dreams I never knew I had until right now. It will be dreamy, I guarantee.
