Exit Through the Gift Shop. I love Banksy! (And so does Angelina Jolie who spent over $500,000 buying his art!) I’ve been following the great street artist, Banksy, for quite some time. Banksy gained international fame in March 2005 when he hung his own artworks in the Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
Banksy’s first film, Exit Through the Gift Shop, is not about him, but a L.A. vintage storeowner (who appears to be a French-born multi-millionaire), Thierry Guetta, who became obsessed with filming street artists. The whole thing might be a hoax and, in my opinion, it is. No one knows who Banksy is. He was at the forefront of street art movement using stencils that made street art fast and easy. Guetta decided to spend all his free time filming street artists and then finally, after years of running all over Europe looking for the Michelangelo of Street Art, Banksy turns up in L.A. and allows Guetta to film him!
But Guetta’s film is terrible, so Banksy decides to make a film about Guetta. Banksy suggests Guetta do street art himself. Guetta becomes Mr. Brainwash and spends a vast amount of supposedly his own money promoting a show in L.A. Mr. Brainwash becomes a huge sensation. Banksy may be in on it or created a serious competitor who ripped off his style. Mr. Brainwash does not actually make art himself, he just hires kids to do it for him. Exit Through the Gift Shop is currently showing at the Regal Village Square theaters.
Rolling Stone Magazine. The Most Dangerous Man in Cyberspace: The American hacker, Jacob Appelbaum (pictured below) is behind Wikileaks and fights repressive regimes around the world. Wikileaks is the whistle-blower group that has exposed the government’s most closely guarded intelligence reports about the war in Afghanistan. Wikileaks posted 91,000 classified military documents that Vietnam-era activist Daniel Ellsberg called “the largest unauthorized disclosure since the Pentagon Papers.” Recently agents interrogated Appelbaum and demanded to know where Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, was hiding.
The article also discussed Tor. Should we all download Tor?
Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis.
Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location. Tor works with many of your existing applications, including Web browsers, instant messaging clients, remote login, and other applications based on the TCP protocol. [www.torproject.org]
Is Assange on someone’s enemies list? Swedish authorities say they have revoked an arrest warrant that had alleged rape against the founder and editor of the whistle-blowing Web site WikiLeaks, Julian Assange.
An elusive figure, Assange reportedly lives part-time in Sweden. He told a Swedish newspaper that he chose Sweden to host several servers for WikiLeaks because of the country’s privacy laws.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates criticized the leak, saying it would have a significant negative impact on troops and allies, revealing techniques and procedures.
Assange has defended the leak by saying it can help shape the public’s understanding of the war. He said the material was of no operational significance and that WikiLeaks tried to ensure the material did not put innocent people at risk.
In a news conference following the release of the Afghan documents, Assange said the site has 800 part-time volunteers and a loose network of 70,000 “supporters.”
Movie This Week. THE SWITCH. Trite without any surprises. Hollywood make-believe with mean-spirited people. Thomas Robinson is the scene-stealing star.
Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) is a selfish over-30 woman who has everything but a child. No one wants to marry her. Her very best friend Wally (Jason Bateman) is a successful investment businessman who is also a “mope.” He’s not a good candidate for either marriage or parenthood.
As a liberated woman, Kassie wants a child without a father around, so she decides on artificial insemination. She turns down Wally’s suggestion that he be the donor. He’s too dour, miserable, and sullen. But, he’s a devoted friend.
Is this any way to treat someone you consider your very best friend? Kassie has no idea how much this snub is an insult to Wally’s manhood.
Kassie wants the perfect specimen, and I assume, through Craigslist finds Roland (Patrick Wilson). He’s ideal. Female friend Debbie (Juliette Lewis) is the reliable friend that makes the lead actress look far more beautiful and desirable. She’s loud, obnoxious, and weird.
At the insemination party, as you all know from the trailer, Wally gets blind drunk and dumps Roland’s “gift.” He decides to make the contribution himself.
Guess what? Kassie leave New York for Minnesota and never invites her BBF Wally, or Debbie, to visit her for the birth of her son, his first birthday, or any other landmarks. No photos, no emails, no calls. Seven years pass and then Kassie returns with 6-year-old genius Sebastian (Thomas Robinson, pictured below).
Kassie is so dumb she does not see the resemblance between Wally and Sebastian. Maybe Kassie didn’t spend any time with Sebastian as he was growing up.
Roland has Paul Newman eyes and blond hair. He’s tall and athletic. Kassie gets in touch with Roland and, since he is now divorced, they start a relationship. Sebastian doesn’t like Roland. He prefers Uncle Wally. Roland has fallen in love with Kassie and, since it develops fast, we assume Kassie feels the same way. But, it appears to be a non-sexual relationship.
So is Kassie’s relationship with Wally. Sex before marriage? Not in 2010!
No surprises here and the inevitable happens. Another crummy romantic romp where the woman is holding all the cards and the men (there are always more than one) are merely stage dressing without any power.
I guess married women really do choose what movie to see. Single women go along with their boyfriend’s choice.
The real star of THE SWITCH is Thomas Robinson. Where do these kids come from? He memorized all those tough scientific and medical terms! He is absolutely fabulous. But, to be fair, no one involved in this film—from the stars, directors Josh Gordon and Will Speck, producers, and especially screenwriter Alan Loeb, have ever had a child. Sebastian is not like any six-year-old in our world.
Who babysits Sebastian when Kassie goes to her high-paying, tough hours, job at ABC? Oh, I forgot, it’s a movie star’s fake occupation—no long hours, demanding schedule, or bitter co-workers. In fact, Kassie never even goes in to ABC!
Jeff Goldblum, as Wally’s confidant Leonard, is hard to take in large does, so his few scenes here are clever and arch. But did we have to see him with a 20-year-old girlfriend feeding him grapes? Did he demand to be in charge of the auditions for the non-speaking role?
So, what do you think happens? No surprise here and chastity triumphs. It’s love without sex, just like in real life.
You might be having more sex than Kelsey Grammer, but it’s costing you a lot less. The latest issue of the National Enquirer has some pretty juicy details on Kelsey’s divorce from his third wife, Camille Donatacci, who was married to him for 13 years and had two of his four children (via surrogates). Camille stands to get an incredible $72 million out of the divorce, roughly half of Grammer’s earnings during their marriage. The Enquirer also has the news that Camille and Kelsey only had sex 20 times during the 13 years they were married! It sounds like this information is coming from Camille’s camp, and the way they word it makes it sound like Kelsey didn’t want to have sex with Camille, not the other way around. According to a commenter, “Technically, if they only had sex 20 times over 13 years she’s getting $3.6 million per performance.” From Celebitchy: www.celebitchy.com.
Another report said: “Camille Donatacci, a former Playboy model, could get a $30 million divorce payout because she owns half of the ‘Frasier’ star’s company, Grammnet Productions, which was responsible for a host of successful TV shows, including ‘Medium.’ Camille stands to get half of all syndication of ‘Frasier’ made during the years they were married. That’s seven years of episodes, as well as income from other shows the company made, including ‘Medium’ and ‘Girlfriends.’” Camille must be a fabulous businesswoman who got her business degree at the Playboy mansion.
