Shia LaBeouf Wants You To Watch Him Watch His Movies For The Next Three Days

In the latest Shia LaBeouf news, the actor is camping out for the next three days at New York City’s Angelika Film Center to watch all of his movies in reverse chronological order. Live-streaming on a site called newhive.com, #ALLMYMOVIES is said to run from noon today, November 10, through the next three days, 24 hours a day. Even more enticing for all you LaBeouf diehards out there —Holes forever, baby!— is that admission is free.

In his performance art piece #ALLMYMOVIES, which my co-worker Meghan O’Keefe described as “a marvelous intersection of supreme vanity and true contrition,” LaBeouf has asked New Yorkers to join him as he revisits his entire filmography of the last twenty years, beginning with this year’s war drama Man Down and ending with either 1998’s The Christmas Path or the TV movie Breakfast with Einstein. Not only does this mean that LaBeouf will have to sit through 2013’s five-hour sex-epic, Nymphomaniac (unfortunately, he’s in both volumes of Lars von Trier’s glorified porno), but he’ll also have to re-endure Transformers, Surf’s Up (he voiced a penguin named Cody), and Eagle Eye (*shivers*). It has yet to be determined if any of LaBeouf’s small-screen or music video endeavors like Even Stevens or Sia’s “Elastic Heart” will be a part of the line-up. Also unclear is which movies LaBeouf will choose to sleep through, or how long he’s allowed himself for bathroom breaks. Will he bring himself to tears seeing himself onscreen beside ex, Carey Mulligan, in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps? What kind of emotions can we expect from his revisiting Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? More importantly, however: which audience member will he choose for the age old popcorn trick?

A fan of the exposing himself to bizarre forms of catharsis, this isn’t the actor’s first time reeling in strangers to experience his life’s work. In February 2014, LaBeouf invited Los Angeles tourists to an art installation titled #IAMSORRY, which featured the former Disney star turned proud plagiarizer weeping for hours on end while surrounded by props from former film roles.

While you’re scratching your head, however, LaBeouf is perched right now, in downtown New York City reveling — for better or worse — in all his movies. Maybe this is the most meta feat to ever be achieved by an actor (step aside, Joaquin Phoenix!). Or maybe we’re just all pawns in a larger LaBeouf scheme. Either way, you can stream it here for the next 72 hours, if you so desire.
