WATCH IT: R.E.M. "Blue" (James Franco, dir.)

I think this video has more to do with a Lindsay Lohan comeback than a return from the mighty R.E.M. Or maybe R.E.M. intends to be as idiosyncratic in their retirement as they were as a working band. Why can't they make videos for old songs if the stars align? And they do alighn here:  Actor James Franco directs and co-stars in this blue-tinted and hazy portrait of Lohan in L.A. as she bounces from place to place, including a photo shoot with Terry Richardson. --> watch "Blue"
