Franco: I'll use 'ugly' shots to make film better

James Franco didn't cut his "ugly" scenes from 'As I Lay Dying'.

The actor-and-director found himself both in front of and behind the camera for the new adaptation of William Faulkner's 1930 novel - which held its world premiere at Cannes Film Festival yesterday - and he says he fought the temptation to cut scenes in which scenes he looked "bad or ugly" because they might enhance the story.
