This kid is a complete loser.

 

[zephervack]

He must be partying his ass off somewhere while they pay a wannabe actor to sit in that chair, genius.

 

[silenttwn]

This has gotta be the most convoluted attempt at saving face ever.

 

[Intheflorsh]

This is overwhelmingly cringeworthy.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Who's taking James Franco seriously anymore?

Stoners.

 

[kris.]

And you can be one, too. With the brand new IAMNOTFAMOUSANYMORE bag:

So our co-worker Mike Spohr took the bag off of Shia's head. It is him under there. @thecampaignbook

Not sure if this makes the whole thing more or less pathetic...

Do you want it with the Santa hat still?

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

I think I'd take the Transformer toy, walk into the room and yell "Optimus!" Shia style

 

[Akuun]

If he just sits there, then can someone slap him?

 

[kingocfs]

I fully support this continued trolling.

 

[Kard8p3]

Don't liken him to Kaufman Pls.

 

[marrec]

I fully support this continued trolling.

I agree, where can I kick start his new reality show?

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Lol at the mod edit of andy kaufman and still not "correcting" shia's name. Genius!

 

[Professor Lich]

This okay?

It's not even my avatar and I think it's great.

 

[kris.]

This okay?

yes!!! you're amazing. thanks!

 

[BocoDragon]

This is so predictable. When nothing you can say or do will spin the situation back into your control.... I dunno, call it performance art?

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

If this is performance art, art is dead.

NY Mag sent someone over there to check out the 'exhibit': Holding Hands and Shedding Tears With Shia LaBeouf at His New Art Show

Was I actually moved? Was he? Or was it all just a put-on, and this actor was merely crying in front of me because he'd seen Abramovic do it multiple times during her own famous staring contests? After all of Shia's willful acts of plagiarism, it'd certainly be apropos.

Heh.

 

[neoism]

holy shit I read that in Cohle 's voice and laughed for 5 minutes straight lol

 

[radios shipping overview]

So now he's plagiarizing Marina Abramovic?

Stop giving this jackass attention.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

If this is performance art, art is dead.

Art is like the comic book superhero. It's died so many times I've lost count.

 

[Tangeroo]

What would it take to recover from this tailspin? Curing cancer?

Gotta give him credit, he is riding this train to wherever it takes him good or bad.

 

[Cyan]

Admit what he did, commit to not plagiarize again, stop the half-assed "performance art" crap and stop defending his plagiarism with bizarre nonsensical rants.

It's not that hard, he just has to be somewhat mature about it.

 

[Sorcerer]

Shia LaBeouf should never be mentioned in the same sentence as Andy Kaufman, never mind being compared to him.

Kaufman was a genius.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

I would almost consider the drive down south to see this. Anybody gonna go?

 

[JPodz]

The real outrageous thing here is you're sourcing Buzzfeed of all places. that place is worse than Shia LeBeouf.

 

[Messypandas]

I don't know what a meta-modernist is and frankly, I don't want to know

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Same, but I'm also kinda done being angry at Shia LeBeouf so I don't know. I'm moderately entertained by how this has all turned out. Overall this has been a net positive for me.

 

[samus i am]

This is art.

 

[Timedog]

I trust you shia.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

I don't know what a meta-modernist is and frankly, I don't want to know

oddly enough, this is a very meta-modernist post

holy shit I read that in Cohle 's voice and laughed for 5 minutes straight lol

hahaha. To be fair, most things are better in Cohle's voice

 

[Fusebox]

This kid is a complete loser.

He's a weirdo and a bit of a tool but he isn't a loser by my definition - dude has done some big movies and made some serious bank.

 

[mattiewheels]

Promotion for his next movie, Kleptomaniac.

 

[Draper]

That is some creepy shit to be honest.

 

[apocalidiot]

Don't compare this piece of shit to Andy Kaufman

 

[Sir Garbageman]

Honest question, wtf is a meta-modernist?

 

[Muppet of a Man]

It's like the words "Attention Whore" were made just for him.

 

[wedward]

ART.

Most people in this thread don't understand it.

 

[Mercury Fred]

#cunt

 

[yepyepyep]

To be fair, he is no more insufferable or pretentious than real performance or conceptual artists.

 

[Arkos]

I think I got it you guys

The items include

... a leather whip, a pair of pliers, a vase of daisies, an Optimus Prime Transformer toy ...

Like a certain plumber might use? And SHIa has a bag over his head? Could look like somebody else with a slightly similar name and personality...

It's viral marketing for Shia starring as a Shy Guy in a reboot of the live action Mario movie!

Oh what, you don't like that?

can't explain that

 

[freenudemacusers]

oddly enough, this is a very meta-modernist post

no, this is a meta-modernist post.

I knew he must have been hanging out with a Mancunian to do that Eric Cantona impression.

 

[Deadstar]

Shia is really a marketing genius.

 

[LyleLanley]

What would it take to recover from this tailspin? Curing cancer?

Clowes admitting that he was in on it from the beginning would probably do the trick.

 

[8BitsAtATime]

Kind of reminds me of this

[Mpl90]

I don't know if anyone's noticed, but his behavior has been really strange as of late.

Something's going on.

Or, given his recent behaviour, off.
