Banksy C/D

Also the film is clearly "legit". The only question is if Thierry is in on the joke. If he is, he's possible the greatest actor this side of Marlon Brando (</CATFISH>) and if he's not, well he's even more clueless than the film makes it out to be.

I'm not entirely clear what grounds he'd have to sue anyway.

he would have had to have signed a release etc, he can't sue: this is all crocodile-tears stuff

i never used to feel this way but i'm now pretty certain that i will love virtually anything morbs hates

Well not the Phillies.

true, true

howbout Bono?

Everyone hates Bono.

see all we have to do is find common ground.

someone calling you a retard is not grounds for a lawsuit when you are a public figure.

but that doesn't stop people from initiating em. (esp if they are as dumb as this guy appears to be if he's not acting)

and really, his "art" is not THAT much worse than some of the shit in that big Banksy show in the first half of the film. Just less clever.

"and really, his "art" is not THAT much worse than some of the shit in that big Banksy show in the first half of the film. Just less clever."

Wow ya think? Might that not be part of the joke? Nah.

^^^ exactly

lol

tbf clever is p much the whole deal when it comes to banksy

which is why that entire sphere of the art scene shd be nuked

i don't disagree. this is what gr8080 means about the film appealing to bansky fans and haters alike.

I only saw his disneyland guantanamo prisoner stunt. I hadn't heard about him for a while.

meh, that's like saying Heavy Metal Parking Lot appeals to both Judas Priest fans and haters alike, kinda missing the point very widely imho.

If you win this auction I will mail you a piece of paper revealing the true identity of "Banksy".

I have uncovered his identity by matching up the prices of his sold pieces to corresponding tax records. I will reveal no more details.

The winner of this auction is the only person I will ever share this information with. The piece of paper will say his name, nothing more.

I give you 100% assurance that it is most certainly the full name of the street artist known as "Banksy".

Ebay previously ended this auction because I was selling something that was not "tangible".
It is now tangible.

hahaha perfect

100% assurance

liked this movie

the final interviews felt pretty wink-wink nudge-nudge to me that MBW was fake

like Fairey's comment that "Warhol took pop icons and repeated them until they were meaningless ... and then he became an icon ... so Mr. Brainwash repeated his themes until they REALLY were meaningless"

even the name Mr Brainwash is a big "do you see" on the gullible art world

I mean obviously he's a real guy, seems to me he came to Banksy and Fairey with all this footage and they said "hey we're gonna set you up to play this role in real life and that's how we'll finish the movie"

or something

I really want to see Life Remote Control.

^This

this movie was amusing but it got really boring when it became about another la dude w/ bad ideas

Getting at the truth of 'Exit Through the Gift Shop'

Saw Banksy working tonight a block away from my house. He has a beard now. Will take pix of the piece in the morning.

How tall is the work?

is Banksy actually prince albert y/n?

yeah dude is the special unnamed exhibitor at that show so its related to that prob

show sucks imo

cosmo: oak/divis. there is a recently commisioned blek le rat piece inside cafe divis, oddly enough.

i'm told that this is Priest, not Banksy

well shit, and it has all the unmistakable hallmarks of a typical Priest piece.

I'm still wondering if Exit Through The Gift Shop is just a extended revenge piece against Shepard Fairy (who still comes across as a tremendous putz) for introducing him to Thierry in the first place.

it's not.

Here’s what actually happened: When we first met Thierry, he was supposed to be making a movie about Shepard. He was filming Shepard all the time, wherever he went. They made a deal, 50/50, we’ll make a movie. They shot for five years doing this, Shepard in his Spiderman prime, leaping off buildings and stuff. At the end of five years, Shepard says “Alright, let’s put the movie together,” and Thierry said “I’m not giving you the footage.” He’s actually quite smart and can be a little devious-he figured “I just took away five years of your fame,” because in his heart, Thierry always wanted to be the artist. He figured he was messing up his competition, in a way, and holding onto valuable footage. Shepard didn’t quite know what to do and filed a lawsuit against Thierry.

Then Banksy figured “I’m in the same situation, he has tons of footage for me.” He had some of the only footage of Banksy where you could actually see who he was. So he calls up Thierry and said “I’m sending you a first-class ticket to London, get on the plane, I have to talk to you.” That’s when he told Thierry that he would make a movie about him instead, in exchange for the footage, which Thierry turned over to Banksy. That’s when they realized that the footage wasn’t nearly what they thought it might be, but it turns out they did get a different sort of treasure trove, because you’ve got a portrait of this weird guy, Thierry.

sounds very plausible

that makes a lot of sense.

thierry is still "real" but is also a banksy "project" (not a hoax)

Casting Rob Schneider in this was brilliant.

lol @ this bullshit film

Too right.

With the voice distorter thing in Exit Through the Gift Shop, Banksy sounds exactly like Alan Moore.

Quite a story.
