"Now you do not work me overtime anymore. You do not take advantage of me on weekends. You have lost all interest in the umlaut...So obviously, my services are no longer required here."

Shia LaBeouf, Luke Turner and Nastja Säde Rönkkö, creators of the anti-Donald Trump “He Will Not Divide Us” exhibition, have relocated their project after it was shut down by New York’s Museum of the Moving Image earlier this month.
In a joint statement posted on LaBeouf’s website, the trio called out the museum for its “lack of commitment to the project.”
“On February 10, 2017, The Museum of the Moving Image abandoned HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US. Their evident lack of commitment to the project is damning,” the statement reads. “From the outset, the museum failed to address our concerns about the misleading framing of our piece as a political rally, rather than as a participatory performance artwork resisting the normalisation of division.” “In fact, the museum demonstrated a spectacular lack of judgement — and courtesy to us as artists — by neglecting to consult us when they staged a political rally at the site of our artwork on January 29, 2017,” it continued. “On numerous occasions, we voiced serious concerns to the museum about hate speech occurring at the site of our project, and requested that the museum act responsibly in moderating this and providing the public a means of reporting such incidents. Our requests were not even acknowledged, let alone acted upon.” Launched on Inauguration Day, the live-stream project invited people to stand in front of it and chant “He will not divide us” for as long as they wished. The installation was to be kept up for the duration of Trump’s presidency, though it was taken down after the museum stated that it was “a serious and ongoing public safety hazard for its visitors, staff, local residents and businesses.”

4chan people have been showing up and trolling LaBeouf and putting the videos on the net. Some of the videos are hilarious! I’m sure some of these kids will show up at his new spot and troll him again!
A former friend of mine moved back there when he could not find steady work here in California. His one relative in the Bay Area asked him not to return, because he often ran with the wrong crowd. Some people are good inside, but are also needy or weak in character, and want to be liked, even by lowlifes. Haven’t heard from him in years. When I see that relative, I don’t ask her anything. I hope he’s out of jail for now.
Never trust a girl who overuses Umlauts. That’s a lot even for a girl from Finland.
Thanks for the info. Let’s hope they show up.
This scene could have been from a pre-quel to Mad Men.
She’s doing everything but snapping her bubblegum and filing her nails while the phone rings unanswered.
Her Boss looks like Dr. Bombay from Bewitched.
It’s from “One, Two, Three” one of the funniest movies ever made.
Shia LaBeouf... Now there’s a piece of work.
Did anyone see the “dance” video he made with the 12 yr old girl? Child porn without nudity but with all the symbolism. The guy is garbage.
Next stop, mexico
:: Where in New Mexico? ::
Must your really ask?
Santa Fe, natch.
Had some flashing going on over night. I guess it’s warmer there than in Queen ;-)
Sure didn’t take long for 4channers to get out there. I said 4 weeks, max, at the old spot - they made it just 3. I’m going to go 5 weeks here.
Was watching and hour ago, no one there - someone had left the “performers” a case of bottled water. Saw a car drive by, then back up. Guy get out of the car, takes the case and puts it on the back of he car, and drives off. All on film. LOL!
Told Mr Kitty I hoped the camera’s well attached.
That’s dance?
Oh smart people won’t even stop in Albuquerque, it is so bad for theft of everything! I have some elderly relatives that stopped at a Casino during the day and someone tried to break into their motor home in the parking lot. They have an alarm and video that feeds to their phone so caught the guys- who ran and the police didn’t catch them.
Looks like Cagney.
Bingo! That IS James Cagney. The comedian Red Buttons is also in this film directed by Billy Wilder. I’d never heard of it before yesterday. May have to check it out sometimes. Most people forget how good Cagney could be at comedy.
Cagney’s performance in “One, Two, Three” is one of the best comedic performances of all time. Arlene Francis was great in it,too, along with Horst Bucholtz.
