The Banksy movie, "Exit Through the Gift Shop" is opening in select theaters starting tomorrow, Friday Apr 16th. I'm looking forward to it, but not likely to see it opening night.

hey scarabin/version3 what's the verdict?
- josimar0
...and before anybody else like lukus_w comment on this thread why not educate yourself and take a look at Banksy's site ( www.banksy.co.uk ) and realise that, completely irregardless of his medium, he is an extremely talented and amazingly creative artist. Erm, maybe you prefer build, or Michael C Place* (* note from MCP: remember to add my name to the shit roll I'm 'designing' at least 187 times per tissue)

what follows could be considered a spoiler i guess, but only about how the movie is set up. if you know anything at all about the LA grafitti explosion in 2006 it's all old news.
it wasn't really about banksy at all. there were montages of stuff we've seen posted here over the years, and he does some narration, but it was mostly about thierry guetta, the crazy frenchman who shot all the footage. he followed around his cousin space invader, fairey, buffmonster, and a host of other graffiti greats. it follows his path as annoying assistant/groupie to annoying gallery artist under the name of "mr brainwash".
probably one of the best docs of its kind, really gives a glimpse into how it's all done and gives some insights about the movement and its players from the players themselves.
- i agree, guetta gets super annoying as mbw.sea_sea
- so are they using the BANKSY title just to get people to show up?Douglas
- it's an interesting movie with or without him, but he certainly lends pedigreescarabin
- 2006? haSeriousFreelancing

I saw it at the Lincoln Center in NYC over the weekend.
Highly, highly recommend it. Funny and cool.

I tried to sneak in my iPad into the movie theatre,
then I realized that it did not have a video camera.

Great movie. I completely loved it. Was really cool to see how the big pieces are added to walls - I always thought they were painted on!
Overall really hilarious and I can't wait to see it again.

The bits involving Banksy are interesting and quite good. Like the counterfeit money and telephone booth. I was surprised to see his studio. Still have no clue why they chose to title the film as such. I was really bothered by Guetta and felt cheated by the movie overall.
- < FUCKING SPOILERS!quack
- it's not a fucking suspense thrillerbigtrickagain
- the counterfeit money bit was my favorite part with him. "...and so we realized... we just counterfeited a million quid"scarabin
