BANKSY Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop", by Daniel Silk on Apr 15, 2010 16:40:50 GMT 1, Many of us are sometimes afraid to say anything negative about our fearless leader Mr. B - but I will publicly say what I know a lot of you out there in forumland are already thinking - the girl on the PARK swing is simply brilliant but the watchman with the balloon poodle is very weak borderline amateurish -
 Ya think so! I would put it the other way round

I think the message is stronger with PARKing, but I like the detail in the Guard

BANKSY Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop", by rkitek on Apr 15, 2010 17:02:50 GMT 1, I thought the comments about the Security Guard piece on Vandalog were interesting:
"When this stencil first appeared, it wasn’t clear if the dog was meant to be an actual balloon animal or a reference to the Jeff Koons artwork (or both). Given a comment Tim McCool made on Hyperallergic though, it is clear that this piece is referencing Koons. According to McCool, “There’s a Koons quote: ‘Abstraction and luxury are the guard dogs of the upper class.’ So Banksy is accusing Koons’ work of being in the same category of unintelligible, abstract, and ludicrously expensive art.” Given that, I’ve totally changed my opinion of this piece. At first I found it kind of boring, but this 2nd meaning, I’d say this piece was much more interesting. It’s great when Banksy comes up with pieces that have 2 or even three completely meanings depending on how you look at the piece. In this case, he’s combined an okay joke for the masses with witty commentary for the art-world elite (to be clear, I certainly am not including myself in the art-world elite. I never would have caught that 2nd meaning)."

BANKSY Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop", by Passion Art on Apr 16, 2010 8:01:55 GMT 1, I'm happy to send a ETTGS postcard to the first five international (I'm in the US) people that PM me. I picked up a stack of postcards here in NY and will also send one to the first few US people that PM me. I will also try to pick up more tomorrow so I can cover everyone.
EDIT: All spoken for.

"It would be hard to imagine a documentary more prankishly enjoyable than "Exit Through the Gift Shop."
On the simplest level, it's the story of a man with an obsession. His name is Thierry Guetta, and in the late 1990s he's the French-born owner of an L.A. boutique who gets fixated on the new global tidal wave of anonymous street art."

BANKSY Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop", by boaty on Apr 16, 2010 14:49:51 GMT 1, Just picked this up from Wooster's facebook page:
Not sure how true, but rumor has it "Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley, a huge Banksy fan, quietly set it up so that when you "check in" this weekend at any of the movie theaters where the film is playing (ie San Fran, New York, LA, Palo, Berkeley, and Palo Alto) and mention the word “Banksy” in a shout, it unlocks a secret Banksy fan badge."

BANKSY Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop", by Daniel Silk on Apr 16, 2010 16:30:42 GMT 1, Just been thinking about all the footage in the film, and how much was actually taken by Thierry Guetta (Mr Brainwash) and how much was filmed when Banksy had taken over the project.
When you think about it a large amount was interviewing Thierry for the film, and then all the bits of the Mr Brainwash show now who was filming those?
How far back was the footage being filmed for the Banksy Film rather then just Thierry filming stuff randomly?
