‘Exit Through the Gift Shop’ Best Win for Documentary Feature This Sunday
Loved the major brain fuck that was Exit Through the Gift Shop when I saw it in the theater last year. Fabulous from beginning to end. Nobody does it better than Banksy. Anyway, hope it wins The Oscar on Sunday.
I finally watched that the other day...I didn't think much of it. It isn't well-made, even if the subject is interesting. It did make me wish that we had more information on Madonna/WB's choice to use his artwork for Celebration. In a certain way, it is deeply insulting to Madonna as it implies that there is an ultimate disposability to her music as Mr. Brainwash could only inspire cynicism in anyone who actually thinks.
I Love Banksy and this doc. Thank you Pud! Theory has it that Banksy is the only real character in this doc and in fact he created everything. I hope this wins best doc at the Oscars! So fun!
ahhh banksy, the greatest con artist that ever lived. i love this man, love his art, love his foxy sly ways. mr. brainwash is a joke. i was at his show in 2008 and i smelled a rat. the show, the art & the hype all REEKED of Banksy: same themes, same techniques, same mediums. If Banksy wins an oscar for this doc he has something major in common with madonna... he conquered the world!!!
