The small camera (which is not distracting to those inside the theater, only represented by a small green light) is fixed on LaBeouf's face, which has delivered a range of emotions and reactions throughout the past couple of days. The livestream of the #AllMyMovies performance art piece is a bit more compelling.

He is now forever part of the Shia LaBeouf sideshow. This guy in the screenshot below stuck it out for many hours, awkwardly leaning over the entire time to get his face in the shot, trying to pal around with the actor. The theater he is in is open to the public, and while the first 24 hours saw more manageable crowds (only a handful when we dropped by late on the first day), many more have turned up and seem determined to watch Shia LaBeouf's movies in a dark theater with Shia LaBeouf.

Shia LaBeouf is inside, where he has been since Tuesday afternoon, watching every one of his movies in reverse chronological order. Here's last night's line at for Shia LaBeouf's #allmymovies /YldMdUID0Y At least one person is said to have paid $125 to cut to the front. And until Harrison Ford posts a livestream of himself watching his oeuvre, this is all we’ve got.The phone at the Angelika Film Center is busy. In a strange way, LaBeouf’s art project seems to celebrate a work innumerable people around the world have enjoyed, even if it’s not a great one. ‘‘Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,’’ for example, grossed well over $300 million dollars. I don’t know if it’s traditional but, yeah it’s definitely something.’’Īlso, while some of LaBeouf’s previous work seemed to rub his A-list status in the face of viewers, ‘‘#AllMyMovies’’ includes them. So I mean, if it’s causing a dialogue in that respect, it’s probably classified as art. ‘‘I’d be interested to know what his intention is by doing this, like, if he’s wondering if people are coming to see the films or him. ‘‘It’s probably art as much as the other things he’s been doing recently are art,’’ Kevin Flynn told Gothamist. But ‘‘#AllMyMovies’’ isn’t wholly unlike Andy Warhol’s static film works such as ‘‘Empire’’ - an eight-hour shot of the Empire State Building - and his ‘‘screen test’’ portraits of Nico and Dennis Hopper, among other luminaries and hangers-on. Why not? One could say LaBeouf’s piece, or stunt, is the ultimate exercise in narcissism - a ploy by a whimsical, troubled celebrity who’s spent time in rehab. And sometimes he briefly leaves, presumably to go to the bathroom or grab a snack. So - is this terrible, or interesting? Sometimes LaBeouf rubs his beard. ‘‘I’ll be interested to see how he’s reacting to his own stuff, because I think he’s going to amp up the performance of like, this is me watching my own film, particularly in ‘Nymphomaniac,’ where he’s got some kinda questionable scenes.’’ ‘‘I think it’s so interesting the way Shia’s reclaiming his career,’’ Erik Rogers, also a performance artist, told Gothamist at the theater. (Around 3 a.m., LaBeouf made a controversial move for a performance artist: He took about a 90-minute break, disappearing - apparently during ‘‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’’ - despite the fact that he is supposed to be in his seat ‘‘24 hours a day.’’ However, he was back in his seat at around 5 a.m., ready to watch ‘‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.”) It would have been interesting to see LaBeouf’s response to such raw material instead, we would have to see if he fell asleep - as many did - during the wretched ‘‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’’ sometime around 6:30 a.m.

Īs of early Wednesday morning, LaBeouf had only been at this for about 14 hours - and unfortunately, this enterprising reporter missed his reaction to some of his most controversial, explicit work: Lars von Trier’s ‘‘Nymphomaniac’’ films, which include hardcore sex scenes shot with ‘‘digitally added porn doubles,’’ as MTV put it last year. Admission is free, and a livestream of LaBeouf watching his work will run the whole time. 12, LaBeouf will be watching all of his films, in reverse chronological order, at the Angelika Film Center in New York City. ‘‘#AllMyMovies,’’ LaBeouf’s current piece and another collaboration with Luke Turner and Säde Rönkkö of ‘‘#IAmSorry,’’ is a lot less heavy and a lot more fun. It was no good, not just for me but her man as well.’’ ‘‘There were hundreds of people in line when she walked out with disheveled hair and smudged lipstick. ‘‘One woman who came with her boyfriend, who was outside the door when this happened, whipped my legs for 10 minutes and then stripped my clothing and proceeded to rape me,’’ he wrote of the encounter.
