How did James Franco's viral 'First Time? Meme' originate?


Those who are yet to see Coen Brothers' 'The Ballad of Buster Scruggs' must be the ones who Google to know from where did the 'First Time?' meme featuring James Franco come from.

The meme features James Franco as a cowboy outlaw about to be hanged. He has a noose around his neck. He's not alone there are other convicts in similar fate. An old guy who also has a noose around his neck starts crying.

Franco goes to a bank to rob it

Franco asks him casually : "First Time, huh?" This is because Franco had been convicted for hanging earlier in the bank for attempting to rob a bank. At the time of his execution, Comanche warriors storm into the place and kill his executioners and Franco escapes.

Bull Durham (1988): A baseball classic that boasts of one of the best movie love triangles

By Sreejith Kamalanayanan Bull Durham is a 1988 movie that I first watched in 2018. This Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins movie has aged beautifully.  The movie begins with the voice of Annie Savoy, the lead character played by Susan Sarandon. She is kind of a spiritual person who considers baseball as her religion. " I believe in the church of baseball," she says. Savoy picks a baseball guy every year as her lover. Savoy says she makes these boys feel confident and they make her feel safe. She chose baseball as her religion as there's no guilt in it, unlike Christianity.

Ebby Cavin Laloosh is the guy Savoy has chosen as her lover the current baseball season.  Tim Robbibns as Ebby But there's another guy who she is attracted to as well: "Crash" Davis played by Kevin Costner.  Savoy would have chosen Crash had not he walked out on her after deliver...
