I thought the sex was done by porn actors and their footage was digitally superimposed on the actors? I know she's a bit unconventional but I doubt Charlotte Gainsborough had intercourse with the entire cast.
Yeah I believe it was done that way, Shia really really wanted to fuck on camera.
 
I thought we already had someone else to take up Kaufman's mantle before this, though.

Matthew McC turned his shitty acting around with God tier performances. Anything is possible I guess.
McConahey's a bad comparison, since his first role in Dazed & Confused showed he was a great actor, but his looks probably held him back from a lot of roles, I guess filmmakers didn't take him seriously. Shia on the other hand hasn't had a performance that you can hang your hat on yet, but he's working with Von Trier so maybe it's coming.
 
I want to go to this. I'd choose the Optimus Prime toy and spend our time together calling him Spike.

The character's original name was Buster.
 
is this kinda similar to Marina Abramović performance? Here

To test the limits of the relationship between performer and audience, Abramović developed one of her most challenging (and best-known) performances. She assigned a passive role to herself, with the public being the force which would act on her. Abramović placed on a table 72 objects that people were allowed to use (a sign informed them) in any way that they chose. Some of these were objects that could give pleasure, while others could be wielded to inflict pain, or to harm her. Among them were a rose, a feather, honey, a whip, scissors, a scalpel, a gun and a single bullet. For six hours the artist allowed the audience members to manipulate her body and actions. It's very important to note that she drew upon her own personal experiences of torture in her home life

Initially, members of the audience reacted with caution and modesty, but as time passed (and the artist remained passive) people began to act more aggressively. As Abramović described it later: “What I learned was that... if you leave it up to the audience, they can kill you.” ... “I felt really violated: they cut up my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the audience. Everyone ran away, to escape an actual confrontation.”
 
Riding his own shitty noteriety, finding a way to feed his need for attention.

What a pathetic artist who delivers nothing of any quality into the art world, except that he should sell himself to the highest bidder and be stuck in a private collection for the rest of his life. Haha, shit.
 
I bet that's actually Wil Wheaton under that bag.

Oh, nevermind, it is Jerry. That would be a cool way to spend a day, go to the Shia apology booth, then go nextdoor to the Jerry O'Connell one.

Starring in shit films doesn't make you a shit actor. Can't remember the last time I watched a film that he wasn't good in.

Shia is a shit actor, period.
 
I'm disappointed to see people actually going to this thing. Really, you've got nothing better to do?
 
#NOBODYCARES

Really? you clicked on the thread. Everones talking bout it. Plenty of people in LA seem to be lining up for it. Whatever you say about Shia and this, good on him for doing something interesting. There is something artistic in this. And yeah that ScreenJunkies guy seems like a tool
 
Oh god, this is so awkward.

I like Hal and Screen Junkies, but I thought he was kind of a dick in going for all the one-liners. Labeouf looked incredibly depressed.

That Screen Junkies guy is a grade A piece of shit for that. He can act like he's the high and mighty one, taking the cheap shots and what not, but he's the one who waited hours to get into Shia's exhibit. Trust me, even though Shia had earplugs in, he heard everything and props to him for not decking the SJ guy. I couldn't have taken it. You can still hear people talk through ear plugs, they typically just muffle loud noises.

Ok. I had to watch that video after all these comments. What was so terrible about that? He said nothing remotely awful.

Yooooo..I thought maybe he hit em or said some awful personal shit about his family. It was more lame than anything else..the Indiana Jones part was funny and spot on.

TeamShia catching feelings up in here..lol
 
He's deep, so deep that actual, respected installation artists should watch out for his trite, contrived piece that his status and money bought.


Not really!
 
I don't see the point of blaming Shia for Indiana Jones 4 and Transformers. George Lucas and Michael Bay ruined those movies respectively.

Holes was good.
