James Franco might like both the Kirsten Dunst and leaf-version of Mary Jane, but for him, there's only one true Peter Parker…

In a recent review of Man of Steel, James Franco gave the new Superman flick a positive assessment. However, in the course of his piece he was not so kind to The Amazing Spider-Man, mentioning that the reboot of the series was made "before there was time to bury the corpse of the old one." Whoa, harsh! Sounds like James has some serious Arachnophobia when it comes to newer Spidey films.

James, who played Harry Osborn in the previous Spider-Man trilogy directed by Sam Raimi, said in another interview that the remake was, "eh." And mind you, that's the bad "eh," not the thumbs-up Fonzie "ehhhh!"

Apparently, watching The Amazing Spider-Man left James with his spider senses very much un-tingled, as he continued his diss fest by saying this:

James Franco wants you!

Well, he wants your money anyway. Like his Oz: The Great And Powerful costar Zach Braff, James has decided to try crowdfunding his pet project.

Unlike Zach, who could have gotten the money the traditional way after his success with Garden State, James' project is a little riskier for traditional backers.

First, he's not even going to be behind the lens of the trilogy of films based on his book Palo Alto. He's giving some handpicked NYU film students a shot at it.

Second, all the films' profits will be going to charity. Not a good incentive for a business decision!

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to let James tell you more!

Hmm, $10,000 gets you a dinner with the man himself. We wonder how much dancing costs…

The world might be ending for the fictional version of James Franco and his merry men, but here in real life things are looking up!

The AH-Mazing apocalyptic comedy This is the End opened Wednesday night and the reviews and returns are surprisingly pleasant!!

Who would've thought audiences would drop $7.8 million dollars on a Wednesday to watch James, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Jonah Hill, & co. play slightly fictional versions of themselves?!

Seth and Jay Baruchel, apparently! They starred Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse, a short film that inspired this one, back in 2007!

Man of Steel may very well knock the raunchy comedy down a peg this weekend, but, for now, This is the End is tops.

We never imagined the end of times would be so delightful!!

ZOMG!!! This the coolest/weirdest marketing ploy ever!!!

This is the End stars James Franco, Seth Rogen, Craig Robinson, and Danny McBride made a HIGHlarious Real World parody!!!

They join forces with a Hooters' girl, a Playboy Playmate, and some dude whose name everyone keeps forgetting… and we LOVE it!!

Ch-ch-check it out (above)!

Ha!! We cannot believe Mr. Franco just tucked Seth's hairy scrotum back into his boxer briefs!!!

What a gloriously thoughtful gentleman, LOLz!!

Hopefully we see even more testicles in This is the End, which opens June 12!!

James Franco loves pussy(cats)!! It's no secret he's a big fan of felines!

He loves hanging with his kitty buddy.

We previously mentioned they even read books together sometimes!!

He shared a pic (above) of another person's cat reading a book and wrote:

He's a talented thespian! A convincing rapper! The dude sawed off his own arm after a rock climbing accident!

Now we can add sensation street artist to his list of talents, too!

Dayyyum! Is there anything James Franco can't do!?

For his upcoming flick, This is the End, James created two super sweet murals with artists Anna Kooris and Jose Colocho!

Ch-ch-check out his perfectly charming painting process for yourself (above)!

Ah, James truly is a man for all seasons!

See his masterpieces in the flesh in El Lay at the intersection of Melrose and Fairfax, or in Brooklyn at Bedford and Grand.

Speaking of flesh, we wonder if we could commission the handsome young art-iste to do some in-house body painting for us, LOLz!!

This is the End opens wide (and swallows the world, apparently) on June 12!

Snoop Dogg & Craig Robinson sing an R&B tune for This is the End?!

It's true!! The Office star teams up with the Doggystyle rapper for the opening cut of the movie's soundtrack!

Wowzers!!

That's almost as wacky as Snoop Lion joining forces with One Life to Live, LOLz!!

Ch-ch-check out the HIGHlariously creepy Take Yo Panties Off (above)!

Ha! They even squeezed in an "ain't nobody got time for that" reference!!

AH-Mazing!

Craig appears with James Franco, Emma Watson, Seth Rogen, and Rihanna in the superstar-studded comedy, which hits theaters June 12!
