Kanye West's "Bound 2" video, featuring footage of a nude Kim Kardashian straddling a motorcycle (and West straddling Kardashian), might be a serious effort from the rapper or it might not be, we're still not sure. But there's no need to guess about "Bound 3," the shot-for-shot send-up from actors James Franco and Seth Rogen.
The two stars took a break while working on their latest film, "The Interview," and spent their spare time crafting a perfect parody worthy of the feud it's bound to spark with West. In place of a nude Kardashian, there's a hirsute Rogen. And "falling in love" with him is Franco, who lip syncs West's rhyme's as if they were his own.
Rogen's had made the video available on his Facebook page, but sometime after he announced it the world and to West and Kardashian in particular it mysteriously disappeared from his feed, and was removed from YouTube.
Hey @KimKardashian & @kanyewest check out what me and @JamesFrancoTV did on the set of @TheInterview. #Bound3 http://t.co/yAonN3tauW

Fortunately for fans, the actor offered it up again a few short hours later.

I'll watch this before I watch the "serious" one.

OP
I watched both. You need to see the Kanye one first and laugh/cry at the brutish anti-art they creat

(8,361 posts)1. I watched both. You need to see the Kanye one first and laugh/cry at the brutish anti-art they creat
before watching the Seth Rogan/James Franco one.
These guys are hilarious.
NOTE: IF you do look up either...I'd call them both NSFW

on so much I feel like I have.

(9,234 posts)5. In order to truly appreciate Seth Rogen's 'interpretation' of KimK,
I recommend you somehow find a way to endure the Kanye one first...
Hilarious. Seth Rogen is fantastic as Kim.
I love James Franco, but he's not the scene stealer IMO.
I unexpectedly laughed out loud more than a few times, startling the kitties.
Enjoy

(5,909 posts)2. Not that I needed it, but I'll take another reason to love James Franco.
I like Seth too...but James is my main man.

(4,238 posts)3. Those two pretentious assholes deserve all the mocking they get
Especially after that unintentionally hilarious video they made. I don't know what's worse -- the absolute cheesiness of the video, or the song itself.
Love Franco
