Exit Through The Giftshop: Documentary by Banksy

February 19th, 2010 | Posted in: documentaries

Banksy is hitting the movie scene with his new documentary Exit Through The Gisftshop. The movie was added at the last minute to the main program of the Berlinale, and tells the story of the talentless street artist and Banksy groupie Thierry Guetta. After meeting Banksy, who forces him to make a documentary of the footage Guetta shot over eight years. After Banksy re-edits the dramatic results Guetta shoots to fame, starts calling himself Mr. Brainwash and becomes a phenomenon. Check out the trailer below.

Question is whether Mr. Brainwash is real or is Banksy moving into acting too? Mr. Brainwash didn’t help much when interviewed for The Wallstreet Journal…

Banksy in Africa?

July 24th, 2009 | Posted in: art

Our friend Banksy has been busy lately. Besides taking over the Bristol Museum his work has popped up in Africa now too. The pictures below have just popped up on his website and where supposedly taken in Mali. I wonder whether this will also increase the value of the properties as it did in the UK…  More additions to the already great portfoilio of the man. Check out the pictures below.

Why pizza places are dumb marketers

July 21st, 2009 | Posted in: marketing

I just can’t help but wonder why marketers at pizza places (and other food delivery services) are so dumb. I have pretty much ordered at all the larger local places here in Amsterdam, so there are a lot of places which have my phone number, adress and they know what I like because they know what I order.

However, they keep bombarding my letterbox with unwanted paperwaste I usually throw away right away. Besides the fact that is a waste of paper and therefore a strain on nature, this is plain stupidity, right? Why isn’t there a pizza place which applies the Amazon.com business model to create a personalized menu? Why don’t they send me personalized special offers for products that interest me, addressed to me? I offer this idea for free, and the first company to take up this business model has one customer already, I promise! Until that time I am going to keep my Banksy sticker up on my letterbox.

(If you want one, let me know. Maybe I can have a bunch printed so we can declare war on lazy, spamming delivery places!)

Banksy takes over a museum

July 2nd, 2009 | Posted in: art

It has been out for a while, but now I’ve found a short clip of the museum-takeover Banksy has done in the Bristol Museum. Check it out below, good stuff. However, even though it is done in a true and brilliant Banksy style, does he belong in a museum?

Banksy's coming for dinner

May 15th, 2009 | Posted in: art, documentaries, movies

Always wondered what would happen if you’d put diva Joan Collins and Banksy, the king of street art, at one table? No? Neither had I, but director Ivan Massow has made a movie about is.

An interesting clash between celebrities from a totally different caliber… Download the movie or buy the DVD on the site, or can you? It might just be another trick, knowing good old Banksy…
