Banksy C/D

I mean just from having seen it on TV.

It is just amazing having this much sarcasm in one place

ILX? Not that surprising.

It actually seems that this is something like ILX writ large and for public view. I don't think that's a bad thing. Spencer's sarcastic post seems indicative of it, no?

I mean it's easy to brush off but the Cinderella/paparazzi thing is so gross and the whole undertaking is so unexpected that it overrides any glib rejection of it.

the sarcasm quote was from the guardian article :)

I know! I thought it was funny.

i'm kind of amazed by the photos i'm seeing of this tbh.

Me too. The fact that it will change the way spencer chow thinks about everything forever is just a bonus.

Julie Burchill has rewritten Punch & Judy to give it a Jimmy Savile spin.

oh great

i can't believe banksy is still going

kinda been done already

more like Tony BLIAR amirite?

So brilliant. It's not DISNEY-land, it's DISMA-Land. Get it? Wow. This will change the way I feel about everything forever.

always get a tiny bit more pro-Banksy whenever someone says something like this

I found a photo of Banksy. Unfortunately only his hand is visible.

This was a storyline in Season 2 of Bojack Horseman. (Which I literally just watched the other night. Timely!)

It's easy to mock this kind of thing

Because it's shit

^this, zip it mencap lol

I apologize for my half-hearted critique - it was the equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel. I just don't understand why anyone older than 13 thinks this is good. The sentiments are so tired - ideas that stopped being even clever in the late 1950s. I don't even feel like a critic here - just pointing out the overwhelmingly obvious.

All that said, I kind of like the way the police van looks and I actually really like the warped Murakami-esque Ariel especially if it were out of the Dismaland context.

Yeah, I was about 13 when this album came out, and I was like "come on Jello, really?"

there's some david shrigley in there which id be interested in seeing. apparently some sort of amusement were the goal is to tip over an anvil (im assuming that that won't be possible).

yeh i am fond of Shrigley too but he doesn't need to walk any closer to the "do you see?" boundary than he already does imo

Rejected thread idea: punk album covers that degrade Disneyland.

this isn't a half-hearted critique, it isn't a critique period.

like why are you apologizing since you are obviously not sorry that your posts itt are like the informational equivalent of how everyone on the planet has to take a shit every day.

it's ok for other people to not like something that you do. grow up.

do shut the fuck up

people sure are concerned about whether or not other people are adults in here!

banksy criticism is like the art world's equivalent of "lol nickelback": done to death, cliché, and as facile as banksy's critics think his work is (i'm one of them).

im sure jonathan jones has written a scathing review of dismaland in the graun which i will never, ever, ever read

maybe if you got a mattress you wouldn't be such a grouchy miserable shithead

still no ideas mentioned so far, just how cliché they are

people people! This squabbling is exactly what Banksy wants, don't you see ?

nm jim i misread you

folk saying they'd arch smug twat style attempt to like some obvious risible shit because other folk are not disliking it intelligently enough = xo==

nickelback don't make music anymore.

Aye they do

Some brilliant new ideas from the folks saying that bashing this hackneyed crap is cliched.

There's a link up there from Enrique with Charlie Brooker criticising Banksy, it's essentially what I think of him. Oh and I also think using an elephant in a gallery show is totally shite (because I believe in animal rigjts). But I have to admit that hoho Banksy is shit is not a very interesting response. I think I've mellowed in my older age and just tend to ignore art that I dislike, rather than feeling the need to make sure everyone who somehow likes it knows they're wrong.

That's also a boring opinion tho obv

Boring art breeding boring opinions.
