Do What You Feel Now...

Watched the "Banksy" movie Exit Through The Gift Shop on Fri. I am still puzzled in what to think about it. It was a good movie and rather funny at times. I felt like a little school girl seeing all the top playas in the street art world and actually knowing most of their names. The crowd was mixed which was expected b/c it is showing in Hillcrest. But i was rather surprised to see so many elderly people attending. The movie had little to do about Banksy but more so about one videographers obssession to tape everything and connect w/ all the heavy hitter street artists like Banksy. He was able to follow many of them around and get footage and convinced them that he was going to make a movie at the end of the project. Mr. Brainwash then emerges and tries his own hand at street art and throughs his own exhibition show in LA. He is able to sell hype to all of LA and make a pretty good penny off of his very 1st show EVER. W/ no cred and now previous works of art to legitimize himself he is able to sell out w/ the help of Shepard Fairey and Banksy. So in the end i dont know if the joke is one the street art world, the art loving guppies, Banksy and Shepard Fairey or the viewers who got sold on to watch the movie thinking it was a Banksy film. Here is the trailer for the movie...

And here is some video and pictures of Banksy's Barley Legal show in LA that i attended in 06. I never posted these

Oh and when we were outside of the movie theater after the movie i saw Pose II posting outside. I wanted to say whats up and pay my respects but he was talking to other people. So we then proceeded to Bronx Pizza and low and behold Mr Pose II got in line right behind me. I then took the time to say whats up and we chopped it up about the Banksy Movie we had just saw. Pose II is a real chill nice guy. Just goes to show that ego does not consume all...
