Fans wait — and wait — to see LaBeouf watch his own movies

Why did actor Shia LaBeouf invite his fans to watch all the movies he’s ever made with him during a three-day (and two-night) marathon at a Manhattan theater? It is not known during which film Transformers star LaBeouf nodded off. And he has not always seemed enamoured by his work.

Jaden tweeted on Wednesday afternoon; ‘Shia Labeouf Do Not Leave NY City Without Letting Me See You’. Dozens of people have been spotted queuing outside the Greenwich Village cinema to get a place inside the screenings.

It’s now time to look back; time for essays, opinion pieces, academic studies, novelization and, eventually, the documentary (which will feature Shia, and he can stream himself watching that movie too, and the universe can finally explode in on itself).

Alex Martin, a senior at NY University, was waiting on line – for what was likely to be hours – to get inside. It’s you watching the home movie of your own 12th-birthday party, just in a theater full of strangers, and all under the unusual guise of art. “He was in a deep stare… he was so zoned in”.

LaBeouf’s “I don’t remember this part face”.

James Franco wrote about LaBeouf’s #IAMSORRY at the time in an article for The NY Times, saying; ‘This behavior could be a sign of many things, from a nervous breakdown to mere youthful recklessness.

Last February, he did a five-day show in Los Angeles where he had one-on-ones with visitors while wearing the infamous “I am not famous anymore” paper bag over his head.

The former child star, who found fame at the age of 14 in Disney series Even Stevens and is also known for his roles in Wall Street and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, once insisted he didn’t want to be famous any more. Shortly before that, the actor’s publicist confirmed he was receiving treatment for alcoholism.
