This Is Art: Shia LaBeouf Is Watching All Of His Movies For 72 Hours Straight
Shia LaBeouf is already a savior to fake rattails, a savior to jorts, a savior to ‘Murica and now he can really add “savior to performance art” to his savior resume.
Last year, Shia performed his first performance art piece #IAMSORRY in L.A. Shia sat still and silent with a paper bag over his head and one by one people came in, chose an item and did whatever they wanted to do with that item. It got really dark when Shia said he was raped. Shia is now back in the HIGH ART game with his new piece called #ALLMYMOVIES.
This afternoon, the art collective called “LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner” released a press release where they announced that starting at noon today, Shia will sit in a theater at the Angelika on Houston in NYC and will watch every single one of his moves in reverse chronological order. If you want to watch Shia watch Shia, you can do it for free, but apparently, there’s a line right now. If you go, you don’t have to worry about inhaling Shia shit and piss fumes, because a reporter at Gothamist says that he’s taking toilet breaks.
You can also watch a livestream of Shia watching Shia and it’s slightly less riveting than watching beige paint dry on brown cardboard.
After Shia got busted for being a drunken mess in Austin, TX, some said that he needs to get help. I don’t know if he’s done that yet, but maybe this is his way of punishing himself, because damn. If I had to sit in a Shia-thon, I’d make it about 5 minutes into Nymphomaniac Volume 1 before I started screaming MERCY! Here’s the schedule:
@Gothamist the schedule, with no breaks, and only feature files, looks like this: pic.twitter.com/EIcUdpsjVZ

I don’t want to call Shia a plagiarist AGAIN, but I don’t think this is the first time that an actor has watched all of his movies in a row. I’m sure fellow performance artist James Franco does that regularly and he probably faps and fingers himself the entire time. Top that, Shia!
